Month: April 2013

  • Boston Marathon Attack

    Not quite as dramatic as 9-11, today’s attack during the Boston Marathon still was quite unexpected. The only thing significant about 4/15/2013 was that it was tax day. So it’s pretty odd that in light of this, the attack wasn’t done against something like the IRS. Also, unlike 9-11, no one has claimed anything for…

  • Diablo 3: More Paragon Leveling for Demon Hunter, Barbarian and Legendary Madness!

    With my barbarian completed Inferno, I felt it was time to start paragon leveling him in a more serious manner. He finished at 6 so I decided to see how far I could push him. Essentially, I focused on doing Alkaizer Runs using Monster Power 1. I ended up hitting 10 by the end and…

  • Diablo 3: Finished Inferno on Barbarian, Paragon Leveling on Demon Hunter

    Out of boredom, I decided to just power straight through on normal mode Inferno with my barbarian. The other day I finished Act 1 on my Barbarian for the first time so after easily screaming through Act 2, I ended up just zooming through the rest of the game. I figured that with the 5…

  • Diablo 3: Pushing My Barbarian

    It’s fun playing a Demon Hunter but I want a better farming class. The Tempest Rush Monk can be fun but I’ve been having problems on even MP1 in terms of staying alive. Pretty much with the monk the main issues are life and resistance. My current build for my monk and his gear essentially…

  • Path of Exile: Rerolled for A Ranger

    After doing a little research, I learned that ranged classes in Path of Exile tend to fair better at the moment compared to melee based classes. My first class was a templar and I found the class to be okay. I think at his level there’s not a lot to be said. However, just for…

  • Message to Obama on Cutting Spending: Kill the TSA and Homeland Security

    I was reading about the new so-called “plan” Obama just sent in for spending. It includes taxing the rich and cutting social security. Obama desperately is trying to find ways to deal with the deficit the country has been under. Well, if you examine the track record for some of the worst offenders, look no…

  • Gun Control vs Controlling Gun Industries

    The topic of gun control is pretty hot. I’m not a fan of guns except in fiction. That said, the ruling that people are talking about for gun control is nothing short of outrageous. Obviously, gun owners will always be unwilling to relinquish their weapons and it is constitutional to bear arms. People want to…

  • The Learning Curve of Ruby on Rails

    One major reason why I ended up picking Ruby on Rails as my next major framework to learn was how people have stated that building applications is pretty quick. Although there are frameworks for both Perl and PHP that are similar to Rails, I ended up doing a massive switch over in languages both as…

  • ZillianOP Scandal Part 2

    A few days ago once again Twitch TV had some controversy rise it’s head as one stream, ZillianOP, was banned. Apparently, he was banned a while back after being accused of botting. There was a vocal community backlash both for and against the banning when it was noticed that he used a botting program. He…

  • William Gibson’s Zero History

    I mentioned that I completed William Gibson’s Zero History last week. The novel is the last part in the triology and marks Gibson’s latest attempt to partake in current fads. The book reads more like a brand label name dropping exercise as opposed to a story. The characters are flat and unremarkable and the dialog…
