Blackhawk: I tip my hat to you, sir
I possess coins, as well. Let’s embark.
Stumbled across a great collection of horrible, horrible cover letters. Here’s a taste: … But that’s the past. I’ve given them a year of my life in a minimum security work camp and I’m nearing work release status where I’ll be for the next 15 months or so… I need to connect with open-minded people like myself! My crime was…
Sonnet 116
by William Shakespeare Let me not to the marriage of true mindsAdmit impediments. Love is not loveWhich alters when it alteration finds,Or bends with the remover to remove:O no! it is an ever-fixed markThat looks on tempests and is never shaken;It is the star to every wandering bark,Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy…
Line Rider
Line Rider: a cool little Flash experiment. Not quite a game, as there’s no goal or point. At first, I didn’t see much point in it. But then, I started trying to build ramps and loops, and that’s where it got markedly more entertaining. I can’t help but hear a guy’s voice shouting “wheeeee” in the background, everytime it starts…
White Knight Store: Game Trailer
Holy crap. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a video game trailer that’s made me say “Holy crap.” But here it is again: holy crap! I saw this link via Penny Arcade, and true to their word – it’s really making me take notice of the new PS3 coming out. Every time I blink, games seem to get more…
I’m fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon
Weird Al’s latest song, a parody of Chamillionaire’s Ridin’ entitled “White and Nerdy” was passed around the office last week. Lots of laughs all around, as there’s a ton of nerd/web humor in this one. My favorite moment is where he’s in the alley, picking up a VHS copy of Star Wars – the look on his face after he…
CDX
The BBC has a tendency to create some amazing online/game components, to go along with their on-air offerings. Came across their game CDX, which promotes their Ancient Rome series. Lots of depth in here, and it will definitely take a while. I never quite completed the thing, but if you’ve got the time – have at it. Pretty amazing game…
Study Session
Went over to Filter this afternoon, and settled in for a bit of studying. I had Moock’s “Essential ActionScript 2.0” with me, as Chris and I are working on developing our company’s site using AS 2.0. I don’t know that I’m a true programmer, as my brain often takes a while to “click” when reading computer manuals. Things are hazy…
Sweet Jebus!
Every episode of the Simpsons, viewable online. Insanity. Watch these while you can – I’m doubting this site will last through the weekend.
Fancy Date Night
So it’s been officially two weeks that Liz and I have been on our diet. As a sort of celebration (and also because it’s been a while since we’ve really eaten out anywhere), we planned for a nice evening out. We threw on some nice clothes, and headed over to Ruth’s Chris Steak House downtown. This is a place that…
Interrupting Mr. Squirrel’s Dinner
On the way home
Ann Paeth
It’s been two years now, since my friend Ann died. I feel a little guilty that the day has slipped by, and I haven’t spent as much time thinking about her, remembering her. I guess this is what happens with time – the grieving lessens, but the tradeoff is that the memories sometimes do as well. I feel like I…
