I officially hate Nintendo!!!

May 28, 2008 – 5:51 pm
I have officially changed my opinion of Nintendo; I officially hate them. At first I was a huge fan. I mean Nintendo really defined my coming of age with home gaming. More importantly they defined my social gaming life. I think I need to qualify this statement a little and give a history of gaming life: It all started with my Atari 2600. It was cool and all but I was very young when we got it (remember now I was born in 1978). I like going back now and playing an Atari emulator and appreciate the impact Atari had on the industry, but really its impact on my gaming career is minimal. My second gaming system was our Apple II. Sure laugh and tell me that the Apple II isn't a gaming system, but I'll tell you what my brothers and I used to get in straight up fights to ...

New mini-album release: Pickles and Oranges

May 22, 2008 – 9:52 pm
I have decided to do a 6 song mini-album release. I have been holding on to a few songs for a couple weeks because I didn't know what direction I wanted to go with them. Tonight I put the finishing touches on most of them. I decided to release them as a group, but you'll also find them on my standard music player as well. Without further ado this is the latest solo project from Jason Tennyson - Pickles and Oranges.

The Ghetto Projector

May 21, 2008 – 6:56 am
So I finally have myself my own theater in a basement. All of this was accomplished for less then $100 (what can I say, I'm cheap). I know some of you may ask how is that possible, so let me explain. For starters I have been a casual observer of the DIY projector builders movement for many years now. My primary source of information has come from the LumenLab user forums (http://www.lumenlab.com/forums/). My problem was that every time I priced out many of the totally kick ass builds shown on LL it ended up being several hundred dollars (usually in the $300 to $600 range). I also feared pissing money away by breaking something. So all of this interest got me thinking would it be possible to build this entire projector for less then $100?? That way if I break ...

A great weekend

May 5, 2008 – 5:53 am
I just thought I would share that I had a great weekend. First it started with purchasing a Canon Digital Rebel XTi for my wife for her upcoming birthday. Special thanks goes out to Matt Apps for his purchasing assistance and camera recommendations. Now I suck at waiting when it comes to gifts, so I did give the camera to her this weekend (3 weeks before her actual birthday), however I hate seeing good opportunities go to waste which I'll get to in a minute. Anyways I was glad I gave it to her early, here are her first series of pictures with the new camera! On Saturday I went fishing with my dad and my son (Gabe). It was nice to have three generations enjoying time together and I have a feeling we'll be doing this again soon. The unfortunate part is that the weather turned on ...

Working out!

April 30, 2008 – 7:52 am
I have finally decided that a little additional exercise is in order. I will be tracking my progress on the site FitDay. They have free online diet and exercise tracking programs, plus they allow me to have a public profile to keep me honest. So if you are interested you'll be able to track my progress on my public journal. If anything it should keep me honest. My goal is to lose about 40 pounds total. I am a plush 220 right now and would love to be around 180.
