Not so soon after all
While I ponder the point of continuing the camp post at this late date, I would like to say that I think I may be an OSU fan now. 😎

What’s old is new
Isn’t that a common statement for fads and fashion? Well in this case I am referring to something else. Once upon a time, one Nolan Bushnell founded a gaming company that would become big- very big. In 1977 they would put out not the first, but the most popular video gaming system of the time

Gaming for an Award
Cub scout award for… video games?? Where was this award when I was in Cub scouts? I would have aced this one easily. Okay, there is some work involved, but still- video games? Here’s the text from the official site: Requirements Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts may complete requirements in a family, den,

Putting The Fun Into Labor…
Well, it was a last-minute attempt at a Labor Day outing with friends, and even though we strayed from our original idea of going to a Lake Erie-area haunted house and drive-thru zoo, we had LOTS of fun! We went to the Toledo Zoo, always a great zoo, even if this Labor Day Saturday of

The following words of wisdom came to me in an email forward. However, I have to disagree with some of it since I was born near the end of the window and I did have some of the things growing up that the email says I would not have had. So, I put my personal

A new world record on Guitar Hero. I’m not much of a video game player, (not since Centipede and Q-Bert left

Back in the day…
There was a time, when I was in college that I wanted to be a teacher. Specifically, I wanted to teach High School Math. While in college, I did specialize in computers, I took the exact same classes for a teaching position. For the first 2.5 years of college, I was sure I would either
Old video game in the news…
Yes, that’s right the old video game of Pong, OK, actually it was the first video game, not quite Pong. I’m old enough to remember the first Pong games in the city of Toledo. They was one located in the entry of a K-mart store. At least I think it was a K-Mart. I remember

The Nerd
Since my friend C is in the play called The Nerd (hopefully still is, considering his medical troubles as of late) I thought I would share something I embarrassingly have enjoyed watching on the internet. Embarrassing because it’s not exactly family friendly. In fact, if you have young ones around, do not watch any of
