With so many totally cheesy decks, I figured I'd make a really cheesy one too.

This deck relies on 2 spells and 1 land card. And ONLY 2 spells. The deck is almost entirely land! It's legal in Classic and Extended, but not Standard due to the Seismic Assault.

  

You want t ... Read More »

While I'm not a huge gamer, I do play occassionally, and Magic is a favorite of mine.

I recently started playing again, and found a nifty little infinite mana combo. Really simple. It's based on an ally deck, so you need to have sufficient allies in there.

It works like this. Get a Harabaz Druid out with a Crab Umbra on it:

You also need 3 more allies. Any ally will do. You can even use changelings in some formats.

Tap the Harabaz Druid for UUUU or as many allies as you have. Untap it for UUU. Rinse. Repeat. Infinite mana. Make sure to have enough mana to untap the Druid ... Read More »

I don't think some things are very appropriate here, so I've decided to start an entire series of rants at my new blog that chronicles my frustrations in transitioning from Microsoft to Apple platforms. I've aptly named it "Microsoft 2 Apple".

FAIR WARNING: It is a rant. It used the same language that I use when everything blows up after having followed the instructions destructions, and that means lots of profanity. Don't visit if you are easily offended.

Make no mistake, I still like a lot of things about the Mac, like playing videos (mostly), but the blog isn't about that. It's about development and not about the end-user experience.

Cheers,

Ryan

FAIR WARNING: This is a total rant, and if you're easilly offended, then don't bother reading. Really. I mean that. This will be offensive to thin-skinned, PC, do-gooders that love to feel good about themselves and tow the party line. (See? I'm being offensive already. I wasn't kidding.  )

Anwyays... I really detest self-righteous, pompous, do-gooder, scum-bag thieves and hypocrites... Especially PC ones... Which brings me to today's rant on recycling plastic costs...

So my wife and I are sitting at the table eating lunch, last night's chili, and she says, "The chili tastes better today." Well, nothing like a brain fart to set me off on a tangent!

We all have our pet peeves. Number and normalization are my two big ones. Here, I go over the general problem of not being able to count, and give an explanation of an error that people make along with where the error lies. The example is about "percent" as a unit of measure. However, by the end of my ramblings, problems of number degenerates into a high-level overview of Heraclitean temporal issues of flux and contextual problems with implications for problems between discrete and non-discrete systems.
