  • Why you should buy Epic Movie.

    Need I say more?! And it is funny.

  • soy sauce is what??

    One of the topics in today’s newsletter from Cookthink was soy sauce. I was surprised to learn that one of the ingredients I use when making beef jerky derived from leftovers. More precisely: When the Chinese were fermenting soybeans for a flavoring paste in the 2nd century BCE, they realized that the liquids left behind…

  • Saturn 3

    After spending some time and searching for it, on and off, for few years, I finally found the name of this movie. I saw it when I was a kid, and I have been wanting to see it again. Its name is Saturn 3. I don’t remember much of the movie, other than it was…

  • Domain Record Info

    I wanted a way to quickly view the record information on a domain, but I did not want anyone tracking domains I look up. Or like some bad registrars, have any possible domain I look up end up as registered thanks to the ICANN grace period and overpriced registrars trying to extort money before selling…

In many people’s eye Uwe has the reputation of being the man with the ability to take a great game…

  • Way to go Microsoft!

    I was going through old emails in my email inbox and I found an old event promo email from Microsoft. The email was about the Microsoft Connections Event for Small Businesses held in Lincolnshire. What was funny about it was that the event was from 8 AM to 12 PM on the day I received…

  • Adventure games.

    Last night, in the quick chat, on Abandonia someone said “This site should be renamed “dedicated to adventure games”.”. My response to this was “That’s what games used to be back in the day. Now they are all about is this shiny enough? Yes! Can we make it cheep and sell it quick. Yes. Then…

  • Tweetmeme – is it worth your time?

    I am looking at tweetmeme.com. A twitter.com tracker. 1? – what exactly is the point of a twitter tracker? By the way, there are a lot of them out there (just keep scrolling). I mean, you see on tweetmeme.com what you see on twitter.com. The only useful functionality, I see, is its ability to sort…
