Okay, remember, it’s way, way early here. But I’ve had “Do Over!†on sale for almost two weeks, and thought I’d give my thoughts and observations about epublishing as it stands today. For my newish readers, I’ve been in the epublishing game for a long, long time. About a dozen years ago I co-founded a …
So, Jeff and I have been talking a lot lately, we’re interested in doing something with Maximum Geek. It’s near and dear to our hearts and we’d like to see it not just fall apart because we’re disorganized and sometimes not all that mentally stable. So, as has happened in the past I’m posting a …
Belief is powerful. Belief can heal and it can destroy. I believe in a lot of things but until now I didn’t know what it was to believe in a person. I’ve never been about the individual when it comes to belief. Belief in one person is dangerous, I’m someone who believes in ideas. I’m …
Live Mesh proves that Microsoft gets it. It’s taken a long time for Microsoft to realize the importance of the cloud and cloud computing, but with Live Mesh we’ve seen a killer app that really gets it. The concept of Live Mesh is pretty simple and not really new. Basically it’s a way to store …

Age of Conan came out a couple of months ago and made a big, but short, splash. Warhammer just came …
OK, EA isn’t stupid. They’re taking some steps to loosen up the DRM of Spore. The first thing they’re addressing is install limit, it’s being increased to 5. By itself that’s useless really, but that’s not all their doing. They’re taking steps to allow deauthorization without calling EA tech support. So that helps that issue …
So, the latest rumor on the interwebtubes is that Google will be purchasing Valve. For those of you who don’t know, Valve is the game design company behind the Half Life series of games. Now Valve did mention recently that they would be interested in talking acquisition. Does this rumor make any sense? Is there …
So it’s no big secret that Spore released on Sunday (a strange day for a video game release, it’s usually Tuesdays) to great controversy.
