Recently I had a Mazda RX8 that the engine cracked. Since it was a 2004 with high'ish miles, with a working engine it was worth about 6500. A new engine installed from a local shop was going to run me 5000. Donated the car instead. Saved aggravation and got 1000 for it. Sucked to do cause I loved th...

Had not played Civ 5 until a few weeks ago, but am really enjoying it now. Picked up all the DLC/addons for like 10 bucks.

Civilization: Beyond Earth

Just FYI, GMG keys are going out, and preload is available.

Even though I know it's not a huge upgrade over Civ 5, I am really looking forward to it. Anybody else planning on it?

Welp, to be fair, I have a client that has 12 4 CPU render blades. Each CPU has 12 cores. It's a nice beast of a render farm for pretty cheap

Now to setup a few VM's so those cores have something to do.

I am one of those that refuses to use a case on their phone. Simply put, if I am spending $$$ on a phone, I expect it to be designed properly, and function as a phone. If the manufacturer cant be bothered to make it solid enough to not need to be encased in protective crap, it was poorly designed an...

Android L

So I went ahead and loaded it on my 2013 Nexus 7. Really liking it a lot. Feels much snappier than 4.4.4 did overall. I also do like the new Material design look.
