  • Why Nelson “Big Head” Bighetti is My Favorite Character in Silicon Valley

    My coworkers got me into the Silicon Valley TV series a few months ago and it was a natural pairing. As someone working in the tech industry and a pretty big fan of Mike Judge’s work, I felt that this was a series definitely worth catching (of course, once the current Game of Thrones season…

  • Diablo 3: Spirit of Arachyr/Mad Chicken Bomber Witch Doctor Build for Patch 2.3

    While my set up for this build isn’t original by far, I absolutely had to write a blog post about this build just because it’s one of those things that really is a signature Blizzard thing. For lack of a better way of putting it, this is a CRAZY build. Don’t get me wrong. It’s…

  • Diablo 3: Helltooth/Acid Bomb Build for Patch 2.3

    One of the more anticipated redos of sets is the Helltooth set for Witch Doctors.

  • Homestead: Dealing With Vagrant’s Permission Issues

    The other day I ran into a really annoying issue where after re-doing my Vagrant instance, I had some issues with the way my directory was mounted and provided certain permissions. When I would ssh into my box and tried to change permissions, even as root, the permission layout would stay the same. However, I…
