You may or may not remember from a while back I found a schmorgesborg of music from the annual SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. Well, I've listened to some of it -a couple hundred songs, yet I still have probably 1500+ to go, and that's just 2 shows worth out of 5!- and I've found a few gems in all the rough. One of them is by a duo who I believe has the potential to be widely popular, given the chance.

I fell in love with sushi a few years ago when I tried some at a Chinese buffet of all places. I am neither the ultimate connoisseur in the cuisine, nor even the one who can eat any piece from the menu. I'm still getting my feet wet, but I'm slowly trying out different types. I figured if I'm going to embark on this adventure, I may as well find a place that can serve the food right.

My wife spent 9 months in China teaching English to preschool-aged children. I mention this because I tend to use her for our personal "best of Chinese" places to go. We've tried a few buffets around town, and we've gone to a couple of the more traditional dinner establishments as well. So far from everything we've tried, she mentioned to me that Mandarin Cafe tastes the most like actual food from China. Now we started going here a while back, so I'm going to try to remember the first experience as best as I can, incorporating anything recurring from other visits that either boosts or counts against my view.

Ok, I want to try something out. I feel I'm slowly growing tired of the same places and sheer amount of franchised establishments to eat in the Columbus, GA area. I understand that the city wants to make this a more tourist friendly place, but I think there is a price to be paid for it. I want to be able to experience - and review - the best that this area has to offer, locally. I want to try out as many of the local places as I can (or as many as my wife can stand :-D ) and be able to weed out what's great, what's not, and what's just hype.

Wow, It's been quite a long time since a post has been up here. Well, wait no more. I just got my hands on the now public Blur multiplayer beta from Bizarre Creations. This team has worked on fine games like the Project Gotham Racing and Geometry Wars series, so they know what they're doing when it comes to a racing title. But how do they fair when weapons and absolute crazy arcade-styled action gets thrown into the mix? Hop in to find out my take.
