Stark Reality

by @ Friday, April 30th, 2004. Filed under Funny, Games

I’ve got a new online comic I’ve started reading today. It’s called Stark Reality. It’s part of a gaming web site done by some game developers in Australia. One strip in particular reminded me of myself a bit.

Albatros Overload

by @ Thursday, April 29th, 2004. Filed under Games, Internet/Tech

Yeti Sports now has Yeti Sports 4: Albatros Overload out. This time you throw a penguin up to an albatros, then flap the albatros’ wings to keep it above the ground. My best single attempt so far is 1377.01.

Fallen Soldiers

by @ Wednesday, April 28th, 2004. Filed under News

It’s not the coverage that Pat Tillman got, but it’s a start.

C64 30-in-1 TV game

by @ Wednesday, April 28th, 2004. Filed under Games

Slashdot has an article up regarding an official Commodore 64 30-in-1 TV game, much like the Atari and Activision games that are currently out. I cut my gameing teeth on the Atari, Coleco and the Commodore 64. 30 games from my youth I never thought I’d see again? I’d put down the cash for that [...]

Talladega

by @ Monday, April 26th, 2004. Filed under NASCAR, Rants, Sports

I was pretty disappointed with the way the race on Sunday ended. No, it wasn’t the fact that the race ended under caution (I’ll talk about that in a minute though). It wasn’t the fact that Dale Jr. didn’t win (I think that Gordon was ahead when the caution came out). It was the horrible [...]

Got an iPod

by @ Monday, April 26th, 2004. Filed under Music

I have my shiny new iPod sitting next to me charging at the moment. I’ve only synced the music on my desktop at this point, which is a small portion of what I’ve got ripped. Most of it is on my laptop at the moment. I’ve used it for a bit though, and it is [...]

Pat Tillman

by @ Friday, April 23rd, 2004. Filed under Rants

I’m sad that Pat Tillman died. However, I think his death is getting way too much media attention. How many people have died in the military in the last month? Most of them don’t even get their names mentioned, much less a front page story on every web site in the free world. Just because [...]

New Cell Phones

by @ Wednesday, April 21st, 2004. Filed under Personal

We got our new cell phones yesterday. Only took AT&T 3 days to get everything transfered over. For them, I consider that good. I got the Sony Ericsson T226, which seems to suit most of my needs nicely. Kate got the Motorola V400 Camera Phone which has a speaker phone and, of course, the camera. [...]

Beyond Good and Evil

by @ Monday, April 19th, 2004. Filed under GameCube, Games

Finshed up Beyond Good and Evil tonight. What am amazing game. It’s too bad that it didn’t sell better, since that means a sequel is unlikely. The game just flowed. It had lots of different types of game play, but they all flowed together wonderfuly to make a beautiful whole. The plot was wonderful. Deep, [...]

Wegmans

by @ Sunday, April 18th, 2004. Filed under Family

We had a family outting to Wegmans today. It’s a new grocery store that opened up around here not too long ago. Kate loves it. She’s talked about it so much I just had to see it. So we went there and ate lunch. (Yes, there is a pretty much a whole restaurant in the [...]

Birthdays and New Phones

by @ Saturday, April 17th, 2004. Filed under Family, Personal

We took Xander to a birthday party today for one of his friends at Little Gym. He had a great time. I’ve got some pics and video I need to get uploaded. His favorite thing appeared to be the zip line, but he had a great time overall as well. After that we went to [...]

Dirty Desks

by @ Thursday, April 15th, 2004. Filed under Funny

Today I feature an article I can only assumed was commisionsed by the Howard Hughes Society. It starts out great. If you’re at your work desk, you might as well be sitting on a toilet. I’ve often thought that would improve productivity. My favorite quote from the article? “Wooo,” said Clarence Bir, sales manager for [...]

Fifth Disease

by @ Thursday, April 15th, 2004. Filed under Family, Personal

Turns out I had Fifth Disease back when I was so sick last month. Xander was sick after that and he broke out in the rash yesterday. I had the same rash after I got sick. Kate talked to the doctor about it while we had Mira in to be looked at yesterday and sure [...]

Dropping off at School

by @ Wednesday, April 14th, 2004. Filed under Family, Personal

Xander does a great job dropping off at school in the mornings. I’m very proud of him for it. However, sometimes it’s a little hard on me because he does so well. This morning was a good example. We talk about a lot of different things on the way in to school in the mornings. [...]

Good Easter Weekend

by @ Monday, April 12th, 2004. Filed under Family

We had a very nice Easter weekend. Saturday morning Xander and I went off to Home Depot to get stuff to deal with the lawn, which I’ve not been very good about in years past. I’m trying to do a better job of it this year. So we got some mulch and fertilizer for the [...]
