While MMO’s have existed for some time now my first real enjoyable MMO started with Final Fantasy Online which at its release had subscriptions peak above previous MMO’s such as Ultima Online and Everquest. The game was fun, for a time, though ultimately the game wore on me as eventually much of my time was spent in chat looking for groups, coordinating goals for said groups then rearranging the group ...

I feel like I have to apologize to those who frequent my blog as I’ve been very behind with posts for 2011. My hope is that now with the dust settled and my primary focus is again shifting at work I’ll once again be able to get back behind the keyboard to jot down some interesting and sometimes useful information. After my icon pack for NugoUgo, I recently completed the new ...

I attended the NAMP (National Arts Marketing Project) conference this weekend as both an attendee and as a worker. I started Saturday off with attending “Beyond Cocktails and Facebook: Strategies to attract young adult audiences” which was a packed room with people having to stand. Unfortunately, the session left many of us wishing there had been more sharing of strategies and less Q&A of the audience as several of us felt ...

Earlier this week I signed up for Nissan’s Road Tour, where I would get to drive a Nissan Leaf. If you don’t know what the Nissan Leaf is, it’s the fully electric car that gets, on average, one hundred miles to the charge. The standard charge features allow for the industry standard plug you can find at many electric charging places, as well as a wall outlet charger. It takes ...

Only in the Bay Area… So I was just walking downtown and passed the Convention Center atrium when I saw the usual homeless group hanging out eating at one of the benches. I didn’t think anything of it at first, but as I passed I realized that one had a cell phone, on speaker, and was talking to a woman on the phone, who is apparently a person at his ...

I soloed the San Jose Pride last weekend, which was an interesting event, I actually wish I could have stayed longer through the night as things began to get more entertaining the later it got. However, I ended up visiting some family with the wife and that was enjoyable as well. Photos of the event are on the Team San Jose Facebook page, as many of you know I am ...

My title makes me chuckle to myself and I can’t help but feel very juvenile, though I find that to be one of the best frames of mind to be in to keep my healthy mental state. In any case, a while back I witnessed Miss Saigon at the Montgomery Theatre. While it had its flaws during the course, I still feel it’s a rather ambitious production to put on in ...

I had hoped to have more energy and enthusiasm in this, but I’m very tired, but I felt I needed to make a post… Friday began with the wife and I grabbing a couple drinks on the CA Theatre Patio, before hitting Motif and then back to the CA Theatre for the last of the summer movies Cabaret, which was enjoyable, though arguably not one of the best movies ever made ...

After a discussion with a friend of mine who recently acquired his “green” card a couple weeks ago, I found myself curious about the process one has to take to be recommended for the use of medical marijuana and so I set out last week to find out for myself the answers to the many questions I had. I took a look through the San Jose Metro at the many places ...
