Golden Eye - can't go wrong with a classic.
Diablo 2 (with LoD)
StarCraft
Sins of a Solar Empire (absolute must if you enjoy RTS and have a system that can run it)
Battlefield 3
I'm a PC gamer mostly, consoles have their limits. :)
Stories like this make me nervous because of who says what sites and content are considered to be black-listed when all they're trying to do is protect profit margins.
The willow knows what the storm does not: that the power to endure harm outlives the power to inflict it.

When our department hired a new tech, they glanced at his FaceBook and MySpace (it was a few years ago). I took the high road and told them profiling was wrong. :D *ba dum tss*
For what it's worth, I believe one of the first few questions you're asked before being admitted to a hospital in a non-emergency situation is if you have an advanced directive. If the answer's "No," I know the hospital I work for follows up with a …
I'm part of a paranormal group in Central Texas and often pick up EVPs in the strangest situations. We went to Yorktown Hospital last year and picked up a few that kinda freaked me out, considering how close I was to the recorder when they were pick…
For some reason this reminded me of a koan:
Provided he makes and wins an argument about Buddhism with those who live there, any wondering monk can remain in a Zen temple. If he is defeated, he has to move on.
In a temple in the northern part of …
Om Mani Padma Hum, took a while to decide on what color to use...sounds like a simple choice but since it's going to be there for a while, you want to make sure you're okay with the decision. :)
I thought about getting "Impermanence" on the other a…
I generally try to stay on a carb-free diet, fat free yogurt in the morning with sugar free tea or coffee and then tuna and vegetables during the day. Exercise wise I do a P90x workout each night, starting out was a nightmare with soreness but I've …
I've found that notifications can be a great tool for mindfulness training. I have my notifications set to a soft chime and each time I hear it I close my eyes, take a deep breath and focus.
I remember reading about ringing telephones at the Plum Village in France, each time it rings anyone within earshot uses it as mindfulness training. I've tried to apply this throughout the day on all email notifications and blackberry events, with e…
Warp drive would be awesome, I was reading an article the other day that gave some perspective on the vast distances we'll need to travel.
If our sun was the size of a penny (¾in or 19mm), the nearest star (Alpha Centauri) would be 350 miles (563km…
I work in the IT department for a hospital in Central Texas, it's challenging and a constantly changing environment...I tend to thrive on the chaos. I've seen some of the numbers on the back end, it's crazy the amount billed for medical mumbo-jumbo.…
I've read one of his by the title "The Heart of Buddha's Teaching" and was impressed. He has links to Dharma talks on his Twitter page and he's in a few podcasts on iTunes...definitely reaching out to the new generation.
Karate and Judo training here, been at it around 18 months and don't think I'll ever put it down. It's helped me focus in a few areas of my life and I wouldn't say it lead me to Buddhism but it definitely widened my horizons.
I've turned into a weekend gamer as I can't seem to find time to get really involved in a game, except for the random iPhone game that I can pick up and set down at any time. I hop back and forth from FPS to RTS games, Call of Duty and StarCraft 2 b…
I loved the movie and the iPhone app (if you own an iPhone, I suggest you go to the app store now and pick it up..it's free!) :)
IPhones are free?
No, the Inception application within the App Store is free.
False, I swim in the deep end of Buddhism and dislike a lot of people because they do something to warrant it. :)
