I’ve moved my blog from the old domain. What used to be two distinct blogs are now merged into this one so everything technical and non-technical will go here. It’s been a long time since I last posted so I have a long list of topics that I’m planning to…

Continue reading →: Chinese Windows users complaining about piracy notice
There have been several posts and articles about complaints from Chinese computer users to Microsoft regarding a recent system update for Windows. The update automatically changes the background to display a notice reminding users of pirated copies of Windows to purchase legal versions. If the background has been changed the…

My original plan for viewing Netflix Instant Watch video on my TV, sans laptop, was to rely on the upcoming Xbox 360 Dashboard update. However, now that I’ve traded in the 360 that is obviously not an option. The PS3 provides built-in support for media servers. Being a Mac user…

Continue reading →: A Wii for a Playstation 3
In a recent post I mentioned that I haven’t been using my Nintendo Wii very much. Well, to make matters worse for the Wii it did not help that I have been wanting a Blu-Ray player for a while. After work, about a week ago, I gathered up the Wii…

Continue reading →: Wii… Oh yeah, I forgot that I have one.
I have owned a Nintendo Wii for more than a year and half. It seems to gather a lot of dust. For some reason, I just don’t play games on it very often. The odd thing is that whenever I buy a game series for the Wii that I’ve been…

Continue reading →: Blog Moved to WordPress
Greetings, The previous Press Any Key blog was operating under Serendipity. It was a good platform but I prefer WordPress so I decided to move the blog. In the process I also updated the URL by adding dashes in the directory name, partly because the old blog was still in…

Continue reading →: Update
I haven’t been playing games much lately. The newness of the 360 and Wii seems to have worn off, though I still have plenty of games to toy with. Ultimately, as cool as the new Mario game is I just haven’t felt compelled to play it since I the first…

Continue reading →: Gaming…Way too much..
But for some reason I still enjoy it. I had gotten into Halo 3 Multiplayer (Ranked Team Slayer Matches) for a couple of weeks. After a while it started to wear me out (and began to feel very repetitive) so I stepped back, read some books, relaxed, and played other…
