I do not, in fact, hate Apple... <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2011/10/15/apple-critical/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week, it was announced that the upcoming Mass Effect 3 would feature a multiplayer element, and I find myself utterly disappointed. Why? Because this is just another step towards mediocrity for what started out as a really outstanding series of games. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2011/10/12/mass-effect-3-multiplayer-sigh/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So the other day I was playing Team Fortress 2, and someone accused me of being a "free-to-play noob". I was chided as being one of the newbie players who only recently got into the game because it became free-to-play, despite my owning and playing the game since 2007. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2011/08/05/im-a-team-fortress-2-free-to-play-noob/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

I'm replacing my old LG Chocolate with an HTC Trophy, which as I am typing this, is currently riding shotgun with some anonymous FedEx driver, getting ready for glorious times ahead with Marty. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2011/07/08/new-phone-on-the-way/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'll admit it – I am a former pirate.  Back in high school and college, I traded MP3's with friends.  We burned each other copies of games.  I was not a stranger to the occasional DVD copy.  And I ran an illegal OS with illegal software for years.  Much has changed since those days, however... <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2009/04/21/swashbuckling-under-pressure/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day at work, I wanted to move around some of the items we have sitting on a table at the back of the room I work in.  This included a monitor, a small printer, and a large flatbed scanner.  The monitor and the printer were easy to move, but the scanner had run out of USB cord length, so I couldn't move it any farther away from the computer it was attached to.  Thinking I had remembered seeing a USB extension cord floating around the office somewhere, I got out our box of random computer parts and started digging through it in hopes of finding something useful. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2009/04/09/a-notch-below-the-rest/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
