Ah, blogging. What a wonderful art. The only problem is, in order to become a successful blogger, just like anything else, you have to be dedicated, diligent and, well, creative. Sadly, shortly after the premier of the Dark Knight last year, all my dedication, diligence and creativity went down the drain. I burned out.
But, as the blogless months wore on, it occurred to me, "Hey, I have a f**king website. Let's do something with it." So now I'm back, and I have a plan. Tech is my life, I love toys, computers, video games, the web, but I also love music, movies, TV and books, as well as tons of other things I couldn't even begin to list here. And I figure, since I'm one guy, what's the harm in making this a bit more personal? Boosting things that I like in hopes that others will enjoy them too.

So, in the coming days, weeks and months, System-Attic.com is going to be reformatted, redesigned and restructured. We're still going to be a tech blog. Oh yes. But so much more than that. We'll be reviewing music, movies, books, stores, restaurants, food, drinks... public restrooms... Pretty much anything that strikes my fancy at the moment.
I will also be making my presence known on social sites such as Twitter, and I'm thinking of integrating video reviews for hands-on tech testing as well. I hope you enjoy the ride.

Celtics, Gambling, Gaming, Gadgets

June 21st 2008 08:01
I know this is kind of abrupt, but I'm a guy with a computer and a lot of time on my hands and I feel like voicing random opinions and shamelessly hoping that someone will care. So here goes...

The Boston Celtics kick ass and I'm really impressed with Kevin Garnett's passion. (Yes, it's a bandwagon thing, not afraid to admit it.) In other sports news, you should all be gambling. CentSports lets you gamble for free! Not make sense? Check it out. It's my new obsession. I'm also obsessed with Nascar 09 on PS3. Not sure why though. The game is a huge letdown from what I was expecting. I've just been bored I suppose. I need something as immersive as Elder Scrolls: Oblivion in my life again. Pretty psyched about NCAA Football 09 though. And I'm finally going to get my hands on a copy of Call of Duty 4. I've heard the campaign mode is short but online is awesome. I'm more of a third person guy, but I'll give it a shot. Also on PS3, if you haven't checked out Qore yet, don't. By the time I got there, all the goodies, like the SOCOM demo and other things, were offline. Unless you're really bored and want to pay $2.99 to watch five and a half minutes of Veronica Belmont segment intros (which I enjoyed... a lot), pass on this one. I plan on paying for at least two more episodes (if it lasts that long) and I'll happily keep you updated.


I just bought a USB turntable, the Crosley Keepsake. It's not what I was hoping, but then again I'd never used a turntable before I got it, so if any true audiophiles out there have any hints, tips or ideas on how I can get the best out of my investment let me know. I bought a brand spankin' new record with it, plugged it in, recorded side A and then to my displeasure, there was so much noise it couldn't automatically separate the tracks. So I went all manual on it and was doing fine till the software unexpectedly quit. Hoorah. Did I waste a loada bones on a lemon gadget? Hope not...

Anywho, I'll be back soon with more random ranting. Stay classy.
