Goodreads is Good

by Mike on August 30, 2010

Stacks of Books

My plan is to occasionally share my favorite websites with my many, many readers. Today I’m sharing one of my newest favorite websites — Goodreads.com. It was introduced to me a while back by a good friend, but I just got around to creating a profile. It’s a great way to keep track of the books I’ve read and keep a list of the books I want to read. It allows me to share my list(s) with friends and view their lists as well. I’m not sure if I’ll take the time to write reviews, but that’s a pretty cool feature as well. Not a bad way to find new books, authors, etc. In many ways it’s Facebook for readers. If you’re curious about what I’m reading, head on over to Goodreads.com now and create a profile.  You can view mine here or by looking in the sidebar to the right. Enjoy!

Commodore 64 FTW

by Mike on August 28, 2010

Commodore 64 is back!
It’s quite possible that I throw the meme ‘FTW’ around too much. But this is one of those cases where it’s certainly well deserved. The original Commodore 64 was definitely FTW. So any replica of one, in particular a replica with the horsepower of a modern PC, qualifies as FTW as well. I never personally owned one (my dad liked IBM PCs), but have many fond memories of spending hours at friend’s houses playing Commando, Rambo, and of course, Spy Hunter. It will be hard to resist buying that clicky keyboard when it comes out.

Fresh Start

by Mike on August 27, 2010

Tide

BionicLeg.com has been seriously neglected over the last year. Ironically, the most recent post was about my foray into the gaming industry. I posted it just before I started a new job as the Web Producer at Realtime Worlds. Now, almost a year later, I’m at the end of my gaming industry career (more on that later). After reading through my old posts, I decided to delete them all and start over with BionicLeg.com. A fresh start if you will. Thanks for stopping by!
