Very nice article in the Ledger on Roger McGuinn. He’s releasing a cd compilation of the songs he has released through his website. They are usually traditionals given the ‘McGuinn’ treatment ;). Once saw the guy live with Bob Dylan back in 1987 ! Very nice stuff indeed…

Basically I have too many interests. I like to read, play PC games (ESO, wow and various builder / factory type games), watch movies, listen to music, and tweak PC's, browse the web and read news on X and hang out on twitch and discord. My dayjob is Software Engineer!
Cinecast
Just listened to the 100th episode (split over 2 episodes) of this great podcast ! So I figured I just had to mention it here. If you’re not familiar with this show yet, go and check it out at http://www.cinecastshow.com/.
Barry Bonds
Barry Bonds is chasing Babe Ruth on the all time homerun list. But he keeps attracting bad publicity. This time by not even running out a pop up in the final innings of the game. Excellent column on this subject at Yahoo’s baseball site.
From Max to Mini
Fun post on binary bonsai, putting a Mac Mini next to an old fashioned PC ;).
Elder Scrolls Oblivion
Got the mail from Play.com that this game is on it’s way now :). Looking forward to playing it ! First reviews are looking good. Also a small piece on my other blog from a while back.
Computer Game Nostalgia
Ah found this link: Top 100 Amiga games. Probably an old one, but still true. Remember Supercars ? And ofcourse the adventures of Guybrush Threepwood on Monkey Island !
How did I get there ? Well I saw that Sid Meier is working on a remake of Railroad Tycoon. Hard to believe the original came out 16 years ago. Must be getting old ! Played the original to death. Think I might still have the original somewhere in a closet. Games sure have come a long way, since then, but thats mainly the graphics. Hard to find a game anymore that has such magical gameplay that kept you busy for hours / days on end. Hope the remake will turn out good, the gameplay should still be there…
Kirby Puckett
Baseball hall of famer Kirby Puckett passed away monday at the age of 45 :(. A great player and a wonderful personality, even though his life went down hill once he quit baseball…
Googleplex
Google employees sure have a nice workspace. I bet they get a lot of work done, in between massages, playing pool, volleyball and walking the dog…
