Even though my blog is self hosted, I like many wordpress users use wordpress.com stats from the Jetpack plugin. This year, the great people at WordPress.com decided to create some really great looking Annual Reports for blogs using wordpress.com stats. In 2011 I wrote only 12 posts, which is really pathetic, but nowhere near as …

Last night I was trying to think about where to put my stocking, and when it dawned on me to put it on the shelf above the TV, it inspired me to write this parody. I hope you enjoy it. Twas the Night before Christmas, and in the Geek’s House The only thing stirring was the Geek’s …

This Veteran’s Day, I would like to honor family members who have served this country. I would like to honor my Father, Richard V. Moline III, who served this country in the US Navy before I was born. I would like to honor my Sister in Law, Betina Garcia, who currently serves this country as …

So in addition to being Veteran’s Day, today, November 11, 2011, happens to be the last “Binary Day” I am ever likely to live through. There have been 36 so-called “Binary Days” in the last 11 years (9 each in 2000, 2001, 2010 and 2011), where all the days of the date (except the century) …

My last 2 posts were both about cheats on earning and keeping House Points on Pottermore.com. Continuing that series, I thought I would write a little bit on task based point competitions.

I don’t know if the people from TH_NK read my post about cheating on Pottermore by purposeful failing at potion making, or one of the many other online forums posting about the issue, but a few days after my post went live, they posted on the Pottermore Insider blog that potions are being tweaked. Today *Sara* …

I’m going to preface what I’m going to say below with the statement that I am not putting this post up as an invitation to cheat on pottermore. I would have sent this message privately to the Pottermore developers, however I could find no place on pottermore.com, insider.pottermore.com, @pottermore or pottermore on facebook where I …

For her 9th birthday, Rachel Beckwith asked people to donate to charity:water rather then give her presents. Sadly when her birthday arrived she was $80 short of her goal of raising just $300 for charity:water. A month after her birthday she died in a car crash, in the month since her death, donations on her …

Ever since the Profiles feature was first announced in the canary build I was excited, but it was limited (biggest limitation, these profiles weren’t saved) and the canary build was very unstable at the time. Eventually that early version moved into later builds, but the canary build updated further to allow saving those profiles for …

So I really like Google+ and happily post away to my Google+ Profile. Unfortunately not everybody has access to G+ yet. Facebook still is king of the ring, but I’ve long wanted to do what Google+ does natively, which is to say specify who should see my posts based on groupings. It turns out, facebook …
