WatchThis game looks pretty badass.
Ah, memories...
Watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom with my wife and daughter, and for some reason, I’m recalling a pretty fierce session of tonsil hockey with my first girlfriend while watching this movie at the Beach Theater (corner of 25th and Atlantic, long since closed) back when it was first released.
That was in junior high, or what you kids these days call ‘Middle School.’ And that...
Playing around with new tumblr themes
…in case you couldn’t tell (i.e., you’re reading this via the tumblr dashboard).
Just won an auction for 16 iMac G3s. Yay?
Test audio post from tumblrette.
Ah. The last tweet from @arstechnica ‘splains it. Thanks for fixing it!
WTF? @arstechnica vomited about 3 pages worth of consecutive tweets into my feed…
Well, at least I got *some* stuff done. Still need to catch up on some drawing, though.
Why do my weekends never have enough time in them for me to do all the stuff I need to do? *sigh*
Just got back from a nice lunch at MiCasita with Dad. Lunch fajitas FTW!
Happy 25th Birthday, Macintosh!
Weekend. Starts. Now. (wooHOO!)
Rant: NEVER put your ONLY COPY of ANYTHING on an iPod (or any other portable device)!
Just got home from a great Comic Artists and Writers meetup. Great company, lots of laughs and some good discussion.
RT @BrentSpiner: Geeks and nerds will save the planet. Goodnight.

Dear EPIC: Please PLEASE tell me you’re working on an iPhone / iPod touch port of the original Unreal Tournament. Pocket LAN party FTW!
I can’t get enough of the US Airways Flight 1549 coverage. What a great news story to start a new year! (except for the crash part — ouch!)
OH: (my 8yo girl talking to my 5yo boy): “You don’t want to know what alcohol is — it makes you dumb.”
Congrats!

Is it posted on a list, or were you notified by email? (anxiously waiting to see if I won a copy).
Just trimmed down the ol’ Followers list. Cut about half dozen apparent spammers / dormant followers. (If I cut you by mistake, let me know)

Waiting in a very crowded Pizza Hut delivery lobby on a very cold day for a very overdue pickup order. Grrrr. - http://bkite.com/03MIi
Great. I get a gift of 3+ hours alone, and I waste it by napping it away. Dangit.
R.I.P. Andrew Wyeth →
Whether you’re a fan of his work or not, there is no denying the importance of Andrew Wyeth’s work as a contemporary American artist.
Although, I must admit, for some reason, I thought he had passed away years ago.

Gather ‘round, young ones. I am here to share a tale that you may not believe, but I assure you, is true.
You see, long ago, before fancy graphics cards and consoles, there was a type of game known as text adventure or interactive fiction. In such games, we used our imaginations to picture the game environment and actions, and we controlled the action by typing. It was almost like reading a book,...

Woke up at 4:30 a.m. by a weird dream. Came to the computer compelled to explore the craft of cartooning. Found some interesting links.
Remember those ‘Flying Cars’ we all heard so much... →
…Well, they’re apparently now in production. Although it’s not quite what I always pictured.
Been slack on the twittering of late. I’ll try to step it up a bit.

A great deal for both of these products, which are both best-of-class applications.
(For Apple employees reading this, please check the 3PP promotions, because we get at least one of those titles for free - maybe both.)
Dangit. Just lost power. Transformer on the corner sounded like a small war starting & looked like a giant arc welder going off.
It doesn’t ‘feel’ like MacWorld Expo week. Usually, there’s a buzz in the air. This year, not so much.
Preparing for family portrait this afternoon. Maybe the last one before Jake is out on his own. <feeling.ancient>
I really need to start listening to music more often. Particularly classical.
Happy 2009, everyone! Hope those who partied aren’t too wrecked this morning. ;^)
