No this isn't a post about playing the relationship game and picking up women, this is about video games! I still remember the first time I played video games like it was yesterday.

Content in the Digital Age: Music
Oh music. The first industry in my eyes that had to deal with the massive digital shift, which occurred with a compressed file size that was manageable and share-able on the internet in the late 90's among people with dial-up 5.6kb internet connections. Music has been discussed to death with the file-sharing issues the industry … Continue reading Content in the Digital Age: Music

It’s Time to Start a Blog!
I am far too addicted to social media and sharing things on the internet to not have a blog of my own so I have fixed this issue and started one.
