Since I was so bored today I started playing with the speech recognition built into Vista. The commands work pretty well, but as you can see dictation leaves a little to be desired. I do have a cheap mic, but even accounting for that the results are a little ridiculousI do not much to do that I would it were working so instead I decided to try out wind over the phone and recognition Tuor.

Well it has been a while. Between school and my new job I didn't feel like taking time to make any post, but now that school is over and I have a case of insomnia I guess an update is in order. I will try and keep it brief. I fear in my exceptionally tired state I may become erratic.For starters my reading plan is in shambles. I have not finished a single book. I am enjoying the book I have been

My brother got married last week. It was extremely weird. The wedding wasn't what was odd, that was all normal, just the simple fact that my brother is now married is foreign to me. Travis and I were sitting down playing video games the day before and he turned to me and said "Your brother is marrying my sister, that's weird" and he was completely right. It was a great week though, Andy, Lance,

Little late for the title but that is ok. The end of the year has come and it is now 2008. It is strange to me to think of how close it is to 2010. When I was in school in 2000 my history teacher had us make a time capsule to be opened in 2010. At 14 I began thinking of 2010, how far away it was, and how odd things would be. It seems too me that I was right in the oddity of things but not in the

I finally finished all of the Shannara books I own. It took me longer than I expected because I underestimated the slow down I would have when school started. For the most part I liked all of the books in the series. It is difficult for me to choose a favorite so I will just give them ratings in the order I read them:Sword of Shannara - 7/10Elfstones of Shannara - 8.5/10Wishsong of Shannara - 9/

I am not talking about my lack of posts. What I am talking about is a revelation I had the other day when I tried to put my finger on what I like about certain TV shows. I was trying to figure out why shows like (prepare for long list): Clerks the animated series, Futurama, Dilbert, Andy Barker P.I., Reaper, Office, etc. appeal to me. At first it seemed that nothing connected all these shows.

Below I have finally compiled a list of ten things I hate. I should note they are in order, but the first three are so close they are basically all number 1. It was tough to narrow it down to just ten. Some of the honorable mentions include: people that clean a clean house when company comes over, people that make their beds, people that aren't rich but try to pretend to be, and people that ask

So I have one more things coming to me. Yesterday two good things happened. First, I got an AP running in repeater mode. Secondly, I got into the COD4 beta.I have been having problems connecting to the Internet in the basement where my room is. The signal in one part was strong enough for my 360 to get an OK connection, but in my room my computer was in a dead zone. A couple weeks ago I read an

As I was walking from the basement to the second floor to get on the Internet, a thought occurred to me. Why doesn't the 360 have a web browser? The PS3 has one. Even the savages at Nintendo that have an irrational fear of the Internet have a browser. So why doesn't the 360? They could just add a new blade that would obviously, and tragically, run a stripped down version of IE. If I was really

Having given up movie theaters a little over two years ago I am constantly tempted to break my oath every summer with some superhero or Johhny Depp movie. This time, however, it was a HP movie, and the call was almost irresistible. I was anxious to see David Yates first crack at the HP series knowing he was already signed on for HP 6. I have no problem with going to an Imax theater, with the

I started reading the Harry Potter series simply because there was nothing else for me to read at the time. Obviously after reading the first three books in two days, quite the accomplishment for me, I was obviously hooked. So naturally when the release of the seventh book approached I was in an almost giddy state to discover the ending. I even went as far as reserving it, which turned out to be

Well it has been quite a long time since my last post, just like the last two posts. I hope that I will not be so lazy in the future but who knows, I sure don't.As you can see on the left my reading list has a few additions. I was able to finish up the Hitchhikers series pretty easily and for the first time. I always loved the first book in the series but never made it all the way to the end for

It has been a while since me last post, so naturally I have plenty to discuss. I guess I will start at the couples retreat and go from there.The couples retreat went very well. I was able to finish all my video editing, but it was literally down to the wire. I was burning the final DVD the day it was going to be showed. It seemed like everyone had a great time, and from the comment cards it

If you haven't heard, 2007 has officially started. It makes me feel old, older than a soon to be 21 year-old should. On the plus side I get to start having a problem with alcohol in just a few short months.The most depressing thing about the new year is resetting my books read section. I am so happy with how many books I read last year. I read 19 books last year, not counting the four or so I

I don't want to just post what I got and sound so commercially minded on Christmas. Instead I will post what I gave to others first and only give a brief overview of my gifts.I made Robert a desktop background for the laptop with Batman, Joker, and Daredevil. I bought Marya a Dobby Bust. I gave Richie a copy of Caddy Shack. For Jenny I bought a Jack and Zero Bobble Head. For Trey I sold my

I alluded to an unblemished lamb a few days ago, and it appears to have worked. The 49ers defense held strong last night long enough for the offense to get the running game going, which allowed them to get the passing game going. This is the first 49er game I have been able to watch all year and I enjoyed it so much. There were a few things that worried me, but also some things that were very

So much has happened since last time I posted I am not sure where to begin.I finally got my licence. I took the test about a week ago and got only two points off. I got points off for touching the solid white line, which I didn't do.I signed an NDA last week. For those of you that don't know a NDA is an agreement in the business world that basically means I can't say anything, not even what I

As some of the more intelligent of you may know, the 49ers won yesterday giving them a 5-5 record. I have restrained from talking about football because my beloved 49ers were sub .500 and I didn't feel free to talk about other teams. Now that my team has finally clawed its way to mediocrity I feel the need to gloat over those that are still swimming at the bottom of the cesspool known as the NFC.

First, yes I broke my promise on posts, oh well. With that out of the way, on to the post.Yesterday I finally received my long awaited copy of Gears of War (LE). I was extremely happy, with one minor glitch; I can not play it yet. You see, my friend Steven and I made a pact. Since GOW offers the ability to play the entire campaign online with a friend, we decided that neither of us would play

I was watching the old Dune movie on Stars a few days ago and it reminded me about a game I haven't thought of in quite some time, Dune. One of my earliest memory’s of gaming is Dune. I used to spend hours on it and decided to try and pick it up again. I found a few auctions on Ebay, but most were in the UK or looked suspicious. I finally decided to check an abandonware website to see if they had

The first thing I would like to talk about is the books I have read this year. First I would like to say that I am not a avid read by nature and have always struggled to force myself to read for pleasure. I am extremely happy with my progress this year, even if some are more advanced. So far this year I have read roughly 5,692 pages.I started with the Harry Potter series simply because there was

A few days ago EA announced they are closing servers down for older games. I wonder why they would do this? Maybe they want people to buy newer games. If people would wise up and start buying sports games in the 2K series things like this wouldn't matter. I find this funny for two reasons. The first is that if you bought an EA game you deserve it. I own Fifa but only because it was the only game

Sorry for the lack of posts. I don't really have a reason either, which is sad.As you have probably head, E3 is over as we know it. It is sad in a way. I remember looking forward to E3 all year and then trying to keep up with the sudden flood of information. At first I was outraged, I have never gone to the conference and now all chances of going are obliterated. Now though, everyone benefits but

Just a quick post to brag. I found a Harry Potter Spells test and it is pretty in depth. I am happy to report I scored 91% which I am pleased with considering I have only read the books once and seen the movies a similar amount of times. I also had to brush up a little on HTML to get rid of most of the junk in the quiz code to post here and am equally pleased with those results. I mainly posted

Before I get into the other stuff in the post I wanted to talk about the World Cup a little bit. To be honest I have always hated soccer, but this year I decided to watch the final game. I went in not really caring who one, but after hearing about some of the French players I was instantly and Italy fan. I was glued to the TV the entire time, even though no scoring happened after the eighteenth

Yesterday I went to the Harris' house for Independence Day. I had a great time. I played croquet and won two out of three, always good, and I shot some people with my airsoft gun. Best of all was when Bro. Sanger asked me to help with the fireworks. It was great because between Jeffrey, Bro. Sanger, and Bro. Harris' there was enough fireworks for a twenty minute show. The fireworks weren't the

Recently Sony has been getting some bad news. More specifically Doubts from Japanese Developers on several issues, owing a lot of back taxes, and Microsoft Looking like they won't let go of the console lead anytime soon. There is nothing I want to see more then Sony lose its support of Japanese Developers and end up in third in the console race with MS and Nintendo fighting it out for the lead.

It turns out I had two good reasons for not posting, one I was working on a camp, and two I acquired Oblivion for Xbox 360 in a game of chance. Lets just say that any time I wasn't working on or attending camp I was strolling the plains of Cyrodiil in search of my next kill and/or great plunder.Oblivion is a gaming masterpiece so refined it is like mana from heaven for 360 users.

Just a quick note to explain the name change. When I signed up I didn't realize "rambling" in all its forms was so popular for a Blog title. Because of this I went for a Transliteration of three Koine Greek words. I would explain the meaning but since only one person really reads this Blog right now and they studied Koine it seems useless.

At least I will soon have a good reason for having few updates. Starting in a couple of weeks I will be living on my Church's property to help build a camp for this summer. Unfortunately this means I have to work under my Pastor, joking, but at least I will have something interesting to do this summer. I probably will only have computer access on the weekends meaning very few updates to my

When E3 comes so do many rumors. Not to say this is a new rumor, it just seems there is more force behind it recently. Microsoft is not happy with just the home console market and may want to release a handheld. The reason is simple, there is a lot of money in handhelds.  Some people may be skeptical, but I have been a strong believer in this rumor since it's inception for a two reasons. We all

I am sure you have heard by now, we can finally see Han Solo shoot first. I don't know what it is about them, but the re-mastered versions always bugged me. I don't hate them, they are still enjoyable movies. But it was like someone altered my childhood memory for no other reason except that they could.

As I am interested in video games, I will probably end up using this Blog as an outlet for my thoughts about the industry.
