So imagine you are the owner of a company. You have many employees of all different kinds. Some of these employees are more productive than others. Some cost you more money than others. Shouldn’t you be allowed to get rid of the employees who cost you more than they are worth? Shouldn’t you be allowed to hire or fire anyone you want for any position for any reason? This is the freedom you have as a business-person. Continue reading
If you read the post prior to this one, you would have gotten the idea that I was going to make a lot of blog posts very soon. This is exactly what I planned. Let me tell you, it is not from lack of trying that no new posts have appeared. I have plenty of free time at work to write blog posts like this one. There just hasn’t been anything to blog about.

So lately at work, they haven’t been giving me very much work to do. There is working waiting in the wings, but just because of how things are going, there are many hours at work where I have absolutely nothing to do. You can imagine this gets quite boring. I might have books or DS games, but I’m not sure how well that would go over. However, it seems that whatever I do on the computer is just fine, since I’m a software engineer. Eventually though, flash games lose their charm. New flash games worth playing do not come out fast enough to keep up. Continue reading
Police brutality is a problem we will always have to deal with as long as we have police. When you have people in a position of power and authority, some of them will always overstep their boundaries and fail to uphold their duty and responsibilities.

If we want a police force to serve and protect us, this is something we have to accept.

If you are a listener of GeekNights, you know that in every episode Rym and I each select one thing on the web to be our “Thing of the Day.” This week we have decided to do a common theme where all of our things will be openers or closers of shows in foreign languages. Ever since choosing this theme, I have realized that the web, YouTube in particular, is a treasure trove of foreign language openers to television shows. Since this discovery I have been entertained for hours on end. Continue reading
I am a relatively smart and popular guy with a sizable presence on the web. There are lots of people who know who I am via this blog, my podcast, conventions and comments I post on various sites. These people also know that I am very knowledgeable when it comes to topics such as anime, video games, manga and especially technology. It is no surprise that many of these people seek my advice when it comes to matters such as these. Usually this makes me happy, but sometimes it makes me sad. I like to help people, and I believe I am giving them good advice. However, I don’t have time to waste helping someone who has not tried to help themselves. Continue reading
Over the past year or so I’ve fallen into an unexpected crisis. I have more entertainment to consume than I have time in which to consume it. We’re not talking about just a few unbeaten video games or a small pile of unread books. We’re talking about a person only having ten or so hours a week in which to consume entertainment with hundreds of hours of quality entertainment becoming available in that same time.
