This would seem like something silly to write about. Why would it matter that I uninstalled on app from my cell phone? Because this serves as a prime case where several minor issues have ruined my experience to the point where the app is no longer worth having on my device. Now, my phone is …

Why I blog
It’s a question virtually anyone who writes will ask themselves. Why do I do this? Why do I write? I never intended to be a blogger. I never thought anything of the idea, honestly. It seemed silly to sit there and write about random things. Honestly, who would read such? Who would care, right? Then, …

Free Wi-Fi hates you
Free Wi-Fi is a thing of pure evil. It feels like the ultimate bait, to get someone like me to come in, sit down, spend a few dollars on a snack or something, and get the privilege of browsing the internet out in public. However, it never fails that I seem to spend more time …

Guild Wars 2
So, it has been about 2 weeks since the release of Guild Wars 2. Let’s just say it has taken up quite a bit of my time. 😉 I have to say, the game is one of the best I have played in years. It has a unique quality among MMO’s in which random cooperation …
