http://caseyfenton.net/blog The Hub of Me Tue, 25 May 2010 14:51:40 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en <b>The general idea of this end theory is not mine, I read it, but I really like the concept and it makes me feel better about the entire ending and experience. I've expanded a few things.</b> Technically, the Flash Sideways of this final season was just an extreme flashforward, a hint ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=464 Let me immediately make the disclaimer that the game has come out yesterday and I've only played it for a few hours. That being said, I have some opinions. Super Powers of the Plains. The number of bugs and problems with the multi-player aspect of the game is beyond reasonable and borderline unplayable. Often ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=458 I've decided, with the suggestion of a colleague, to begin writing reviews of movies and games. I've done this in the past and enjoyed it. Also with my employment at Blockbuster I have the luxury of having access to various types of multimedia. I will not have an exact scoring ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=454 At what point in our world did the words "need" and "want" become interchangeable. I need that phone, I need to watch that, etc. The continual emphasis that these orders and rules are placed on ourselves is stressful and overwhelming. Who is this unnamed, invisible voice creating all these walls around ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=451 The power was out, a few glowing emergency lights remained. If there was still electricity to power these emergency lights why wasn’t there backup power to keep the office running? It’s one of those “why isn’t the whole plane made out of the black box material” type questions. There is ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=448 Last night, let's just say I expressed a little... frustration... to anyone who would listen. The reason behind that is Comcast. Before I share my experience, let me make it clear that I'm in no way indicating this is the worst possible thing to happen in the world. The anguish ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=445 For those who aren't clued into the newest "big thing" on the internet (No not chatroulette you perv), Foursquare is a way for users to "check-in" at locations and broadcast (if they choose) to their friends about where they've been. If Twitter's ultimate question is "What are you doing?" then ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=441 All day I was excited for one of my favorite shows, LOST, to air tonight. Come 9PM, I found myself doing something else and chose to not watch. Was this disheartening? Stressful? No, on the contrary, it's the norm nowadays. Rather then an entire hour sitting on the couch, I ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=437 It's true. You may say it's scientific fact that both "The world is flat" and "Pigs fly" are inaccurate statements, but let me change your perspective. I assume, you're interpreting the world as the planet Earth, which yes, is round however perhaps I meant the world as in an individual's encompassing ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=434 Finally got to watch some Olympic highlights online. An embarrassing situation for the Canadians with their giant torch not emerging from the ground properly and Steve Nash standing there awkwardly. You gotta feel for them because of the huge pressure they were under to follow the Beijing opening ceremonies which was a ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=431 The initial morning and subsequently afternoon is upon us since I abruptly decided to move ahead my move out date by a couple of days. The Snowpocalypse has ascended on the area and after days of shoveling I decided it would be easier to just not attempt to return up ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=428 This is in response to Dean's post about his top 50 movies. While I haven't seen roughly half of his list, I'll agree with him on several that'd share a spot in my top 50. My question for him, and for any other readers, is what makes your criteria for ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=426 I've never been the most logical person. Luckily most of my risks have worked out, at least through optimistic perspectives. Over the next month I fully expect (at least hope) that I will take drastic steps forward towards life progression. Moving out, returning to the  "real" workforce (no offense Blockbuster ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=424 I'm not an economist. I took one economy class with a great professor named Mookerjee at Penn State but I'd be lying if I said his lectures weren't like a warm blanket lulling me to the dream market. One thing that most people know about economics is that there are ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=421 Dusted off an old design classic for the blog and brought it back. If you hadn't seen it before, it's new to you. Decided for the frequency I update my twitter and check-in with foursquare, why not make it all a central hub on this domain that I'm paying for? In ... http://caseyfenton.net/blog/?p=418
