I ran into the boys again today, on the way home from work. One of them (I still haven’t learned their names) showed me this samurai sword he had and how, if flicked the right way, the blade would shoot forward like a missle leaving the scabbard still in his hand. Pretty cool. They walked …
A little backstory. Last weekend, I was walking down my street to get some coffee. I passed by a few neighborhood boys (early elementary school age) who were just hanging out on their front steps. They had these pop-guns, the kind that shoot out rubber darts that stick to windows if you lick the ends. …
I’ve got a preliminary version of a Flash video player ready to go. But, for you to view it, you’ll need the newest Flash Player (v. 7). If you’re not sure what version you have, you can grab the newest version here. I’ll probably add on more functionality as time goes on, but for now… …
The past few weeks, Justin and Ben have been involved in this sort of bet. The terms have been vague, but the two of them are trying to see who can lose the most wait (and maintain that weight loss for some six weeks). As I said, the terms are somewhat nebulous, and there was …
Holy god. I did a fairly ok job of waking up this morning (11:00 AM). But after I got up, I walked over to the couch, turned on the TV, and fell back asleep. In fact, I spent the entire morning nursing a slight hangover. And dozing in and out of sleep. I daresay I …
Afterwards, Justin and I went to Inner Town Pub, for a drink. We got into a cool talk about music, and Justin’s now got plans to go through his (massive) collection, to come up with some stuff he thinks I might like. We didn’t really get into the bar until around 1:00 AM, and by …
Somehow, Justin got ahold of a pirated DVD of Spiderman 2. He and Dave were making enchiladas, and I stopped over to join them for the movie. I’ve always been a big fan of Spider-man, and read a lot of the comics as a kid. But the first movie I wasn’t all that taken with, …
My troubles yesterday have been since relieved after purchasing QuickTime Pro. Sweet! Geeking out here, playing around with Flash 2004 Professional, and mucking with the .flv format. I’m learning about NetConnection and NetStream (thanks to rypunked), and found a helpful thread on how to get an .flv’s duration.
Sorry for the short entry here. I’ve got things to add to both today and yesterday, but it’s getting late and I’m calling it a night. I spent the better part of the evening playing around with Flash MX 2004 (finally bought it today), and trying to muck with some new video features. Unfortunately, I’m …
Felix participated in an overnight Sleep Study, to determine just why he snores so darn much. Sleep Apnea ends up being the answer.
At the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor, Felix is about to get this thing jammed up his nose. He even took video of the procedure. Gross.
Felix visits Chicago Dizziness and Hearing, to determine what might be causing his dizzy spells. Here, he's getting his eyes checked.
