Frak Media LLC

Battlestar Galactica

Like everyone else Jonathan is a BSG fan. He spends Friday evenings in the live IRC chats discussing the new episodes. However, he does not watch the episode until later that week. He is drawn to the socio-political and philosophical aspects of the show. He credits this to his bachelor's degree in politics and history and his minor in philosophy.

Hobbies

He currently or has played Battlestar_Galactica_Collectable_Card_Game Battlestar Galactica CCG, Battlestar_Galactica:_The_Board_Game, Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Warmachine, Starship Troopers, Battlefleet Gothic, Star Wars Minis, Starship Battles, Mage Knight, Heroclix, Halo Action Clix, Axis and Allies Minis, War at Sea, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-gi-oh CCG, World of Warcraft TCG, Star Wars CCG, Star Trek CCG, Axis and Allies, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Sitting Ducks, Infernal Contraption, Agricola, Starfarers of Catan, and Farkle.

The board sets policies, the annual budget, and oversees the director. He has served as a trustee since 2006. Before that he served a one year term as a Town Representative to Town Meeting.

Technologies

This is my computer setup.

Computers

My main computer is a brand new iMac 20 inch running OS X Leopard. It features 1GB of memory, 250GB of disk space, comes equipped with the latest iLife (featuring iMovie, GarageBand, and iPhoto). Plus, using Bootcamp it is partitioned to have Windows XP Home for my gaming and school needs.

My secondary computer is an old Mac G4 that I used as my main machine until receiving my iMac for Christmas. It is a slow machine but works nicely for surfing the net, chatting, and looking stuff up.

Plus, I have a Dell Inspiron notebook. This is a desktop replacement notebook and therefore not completely portable. However, it lets me test designs from my blog and acts as a tertiary backup. Plus, I can use it to get information while I'm gaming on my iMac and chatting on my G4.

Stereo

When not listening to my iTunes, my iPod Classic, my iPod Nano, or the radio streaming online I use my stereo. It is old and acts wonky so it is mainly good for the radio.

Jonathan's Lair

My room is a typical place to reside when not working, on the campaign trail, or hanging with my fiance or friends. I'm basically in it to sleep, watch DVDs, pop online, and play my PS2.

Space Hulk Limited Edition: Thoughts

Recently a friend of mine purchased the Space Hulk Limited Edition and invited me to square off in a 1 vs 1 match.  I’m familiar with the second edition of the game and thought it’d be fun to play this limited edition.  It was. There’s been a lot of hype and reviews of the game.  Most [...] [?]

Server Move = Potential Downtime

We are hosted by BlueHost, which is a wonderful hosting service for blogs running WordPress.  They have informed me that they will be moving us to another less populated server within 48-72 hours.  The server we are currently on is getting fuller and BlueHost wants to ensure that they provide optimal service.  They will try [...] [?]

War at Sea: Flank Speed Stat Card Movie

I thought it’d be fun to do something special for everyone who loves the digitized War at Sea cards I’ve shared.  We recently finished digitizing the Flank Speed stat cards and they look incredible (I know I know…self praise is no praise). Using my iMac I crafted a movie slideshow of the Flank Speed stat cards, [...] [?]

How to: Contact Wizards Customer Service

You just bought the latest War at Sea booster, opened it in excitement and found that one of the models does not match the corresponding stat cards.  You freak out and worry how to rectify the problem.  We’re here to help. First you need to take a deep breath and then exhale.  Breathing is important.  Next [...] [?]

War at Sea: Flank Speed Stat Card Gallery

This is the complete Task Force Picture Gallery. It shows all cards personally scanned in by me at 600dpi per card.  Please note not all cards are current available.  When they are available you will be able to access a zip file of the complete cards and folders for each nation’s cards.  More on [...] [?]

Miniature Market Review Prompts Company Reply

The owner of Miniature Market is a nice man named Steve who sponsors the Axis & Allies FORUMINI.  He sent me a private message (PM) on that forum letting me know he read my review and he also took the time to reply to the review. I try my best to provide accurate information and a complete [...] [?]
