Good, Better, Best
A few weeks ago, I managed to get three kids in the van. On this morning, I wouldn’t have to speed to get them to school on time, but I was cutting it close.
I slammed my door shut, hit the button to open the garage door and turned the key in the ignition.
Nothing.
A Weekend of VR Gaming
Since I work for Puget Systems and have access to some cool stuff, I had been “demo-ing” the new HTC Vive and Oculus Rift at work. Remember the Nintendo Wii and how it revolutionized gaming at the time? I was one of those that got up early in the morning and stayed in line for hours to get my hand on one. It ended up being one of the best purchases I made because I kept playing with that console for quite some time.
I had the same feelings toward the HTC Vive with its controllers and room scale play. However, plopping down $800 for the Vive is a lot more than $250 (at the time) for the Wii. I had to make sure. So, I borrowed the HTC Vive for an extended weekend to see. I wanted to find out whether it was just “newphoria” as well as how my wife and kids would like it. The results were quite interesting.

Let the Music Play
While cleaning my garage this summer, I came across what remained of my music collection: about of 300 CDs consisting of jazz and classic rock. It’s been three years since they’d seen the light of day, so I decided to donate them to a local thrift store. What was worth thousands of dollars me to a few years ago, was worth less than a tax write off today.
