Always anonymous.
I am blogging because I love to write about whatever strikes me at the time, and is 95% spontaneous.
Why anonymity? Well, too many people make the mistake of using their names, and the names of those around them, and invariably employers or people you don't want finding out things.... well they find out.
I will try not to let that happen.
So sit back and relax in the Pumpkin Patch friends. All the pie here is free!

To me, they are little nuggets of internet goodness. I say internet goodness because that's where I find them. I've only ever created maybe 10 of my own, ever. So when I come across interesting ones on the internet, I collect them.
I was wandering around on YouTube tonight, reminiscing about my younger days singing with an A Cappella group.
I came across some great songs from Rockapella and True Image, and I thought I just had to give you all a listen.
I am going to search for more fantastic a cappella music to post another day, but for now, take a listen to these cool tunes.
Rockapella VS True Image
Rockapella With True Image - Under The Boardwalk
Rockapella- Under the Boardwalk
Billy Joel-The Longest Time
Naturally - Huey Lewis and the News - This particular video is the only one I could find for this song, apparently a school project for RTV at UCF in 1987
For anyone following my blog, and there may be tens of you out there, I have resurfaced from the vacation world of my sofa and computer chair. I purposely didn't blog on vacation, but am back now, so prepare yourselves.
So today I have one simple topic, hacking the iPhone.
I would like to give props out to George Hotz for being the first (from what I gather) to hack the iPhone.
George logged about 500 hours or so on the endeavor, and worked online with others to produce the hack.
You can visit George's blog here for the full details, and list of equipment needed to do it yourself.
I possess none of the skills, and less of the patience to attempt such a hack. So if anyone is successful in hacking their own iPhone, let me know, for I will bow to you on some cyber level that only you and I will ever really appreciate.
I can only play Neverwinter Nights for so long before going a little batty.
I like playing solo, as well as with a group. But I find playing mostly on Role playing servers I get bored easily if there isn't anyone else around wanting to play as a party, or if there isn't a quest or event going on.
So I branch out every once in a while to try some new games. When I do this, it's usually something high energy, with lots of fighting and solo play.
With this in mind, I checked out Dungeon Runners this past weekend. Created by NCSoft, Dungeon Runners delivers the fighting energy I need (albeit a little repetitive).
With more updates and patches coming every month, I can see myself playing this game for a while.
Now I did say it was a bit repetitive, and that's true. But with tons and tons of different weapons, armor and equipment in the game, it's almost a quest in itself to try and get better and better items. You tend to look past the same groups of monsters and attacks, just to see what the next monster will drop.
But it's also interesting to see what the next level of my character will bring in terms of skills, abilities, and special powers.
You can re-spec your characters skill points at any time, so if you want to mix up your game-play a little, you can certainly do that.
Every few levels I gain some new magic, and change my attacks accordingly. So in a sense, the repetitive nature of the game is not as noticeable to me....yet.
It's also free to play, you simply download the game from the NCSoft website, and your off and running.
You can, however, pay a nominal fee ($4.99 per month) which will allow you access to member only items. You can find these items when monsters drop them, but can only use them if you are a member (other wise you can just sell them).
So I bit the bullet, and forked over 3 months of fees. It was pretty cheap, and now I get the full effect of the game.
If I get sick of the game, I can always not pay for it any more.
Here are a few videos of Dungeon Runner, so you can decide for yourself if it's worth playing:
