Can new technology go too far?
The first time the Star Trek people remastered all their videos on DVD, they simply did a straight conversion with maybe a little cleanup. However, with all this new Blu-ray stuff, they’ve remastered it AGAIN and have gone so far as to “digitize” the video, replacing the model Enterprise hanging on strings in the studio…

The Far Side
Yesterday, I found this awesome Far Side comic. It’s based after the Lone Ranger (of which there are a few Far Sides). At home, we’re watching a bunch of the old western serials and the Lone Ranger has really been a joke.

First Fruits
Back in April, a church friend of mine offered for me to join a new Bible Study group that he was calling First Fruits. The meaning was tied to the idea that we would be meeting at 6:30am every single day to give the first of our day to God in studying the Bible, worshiping,…

Live TV Tuners, Twitch, Plex, and screwing over even more Subscription Services
I have a lifetime subscription to Plex. I’ve had it for at least eight years. It’s cool! It lets me watch IPTV (built-in) and even has the option to connect to digital tuner+antenna combos on my network. I mean, I saw this “HDHomeRun” device I could buy on Amazon a couple of years ago and…

Minecraft – Upgrading to a 1.16 Server
Yeah, it’s a big deal with the nether update. Lots of gold farms, lots of new areas, and people are excited to see everything. However, care must be taken when upgrading to Minecraft 1.16. Lots of posts and videos have been made on how to upgrade a singleplayer world, but even more care must be…

Minecraft NDQ Logo
So I had a brilliant idea after seeing ConCorp‘s logo in Hermitcraft Season 6. The NoDumbQuestions logo a la Minecraft. Color 5-color is very difficult to make work on a flat surface. Dye-wise, we only have white, light blue, blue, cyan and black to work with. As such, see the following from the wiki on…

Minecraft
History It’s interesting that I purchased my old Alienware M14x R2 just to play Minecraft. Years ago, a friend I knew on Achaea said that they really enjoyed Minecraft, and that I should try it out. Well, I totally did, and totally regretted it. That’s because at that time, all I had was my Dell…
