I find myself overthinking my more recent, WordPressed stuff when compared to my ancient handcoded site as well. One of the things I’ve noticed is that if I go off on a subject that’s too specific and in-depth nobody comments, and it’s just kind of too much. I need

Nearly every video game, with the exception of some of the extremely eclectic ones (Katamari, I’m looking at you), is in some way a simulation of some part of real life. Driving, flying, hunting, shooting, whatever. Nothing new here.
But with the advent of the DS, Nintendo and friends …
Results of Car & Driver’s May 2006 comparison “$15,000 Cheap Skates:”
Some high points:

Nope, no South by Southwest here. At this point for me to attend something like that seems like it would be a poor financial decision, what with the time I’d have to take off and the money I’d have to spend to get there. It’s not that …
The search for a car continues. This morning I drove a 1996 Honda Civic DX Hatchback, and cemented the fact that I am now completely capable of wrangling the mythical “manual transmission.” It was really a fun drive, actually, in spite of its being one of the …

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s mumbling I was thinking about other viable alternatives to the used car game. I’ve said numerous times that I wouldn’t be opposed to a lease if I was living farther from work. In my mind, that accounts for a lease payment …
So it shouldn’t be any big surprise that I still haven’t bought a car. But I’m looking! Here’s what at for (5-speed, please):

Pretty much everyone I know calls me Andy and has been doing so for awhile. The notable exception is anyone from my family, who has always known me as Andrew.
It’s strange then, for me, when friends call me Andrew or relatives call me Andy, since it just doesn’t sound …
But anyway, no. Today I decided to bite the bullet and sign up for a month’s use of the exercise room and pool of the hotel attached to our building. It’s about the same price per month as a membership to the YMCA but wins because …
Something I (never) used to do all the time when I (never) used Napster and similar programs was just go on a total artist binge and double click every single search listing available for a particular query. This was back before it got all corrupted with half-songs and loops, …
