>You’ve got to check out this aspiring artist.

>As I wait for Oblivion to reinstall: [ screenshot 1 ][ screenshot 2 ][ screenshot 3 ][ screenshot 4 ] (apparently my save files got damaged, this is a last ditch attempt to not have to start another game)

>They just found the missing chain of evolution, screw the missing link — we gots da chain!

>wow, I’m boring. I haven’t gone outside much, all I can rant about it what I’ve bought, or what game I’m playing, or in the case of games — both. I don’t talk about people much. There’s not much to talk about people, I don’t see many people. I see people at work, and people that I know sometimes on the weekends. I see Jay, but he’s doing well, I’m doing well — there’s not much there. Where does the interesting come in, maybe it doesn’t. Maybe our lives quest is to be mediocre, be enthralling and timid. We all…

>I don’t know what is more frustrating… not being able to get a game to work because the save games are seemingly damaged, or not being able to get a console working because the hardware is faulty. I know the first case, not so sure about the seccond, but I’ve heard of it happening with the XBox 360. I keep comparing because they’re comparable. They’re about the same quality, but there’s more oomph in the 360, they just haven’t been able to take advantage of it yet. Once they do it ought to take off, once they fix the issues…

>I’m so ticked off with Auto Assault. But first… ummm… damn, forgot what else I was going to rant about. In any case! I bought the beta, $1 at Target to get in a week and a half before hand and I only get a week. I’ve played probobly 3 days worth.I can’t figure it out, and it’s due to good old RTFM… World of Warcraft ruined me. Here was an MMORPG that didn’t take any skill at all, it didn’t take any thinking, it didn’t take any reading of the manual to get me going in the right direction.…

>I read today that Hitachi(?) shipped their first vertical laptop HD. Not vertical so much as they put it on it’s end, but they put the bits on the end. Normally bits lay down flat, bit to bit to bit, all around a hard drive platter. Jay sent me a musical “get vertical” cartoon about it a while back. I think it’s probably around in my archive somewhere .:takes a quick look:. [that sidetrack took 4 days, or maybe it was last weekend?]

>I wonder if these 3D Glasses have evolved at all. I had a pair way back with my ASUS GeForce 3 card, and they worked, but the performance wasn’t there. Now I wonder how they’ll look with some of these new games – like Oblivion. Might even get me to play Doom again. I’m currently waiting for Auto Assault beta to patch. You can get it here:I’m not sure if you need to set up an account to do it, I had to buy a preorder from Target (for $1) but it’s well worth it to give it a shot.…

>A note for those who don’t care about video games…why the hell are you here? Go see if you can find the archive page, there’s enough interesting tidbits from when my life was exciting to keep you occupied while everyone else reads about video games. I am going game crazy lately, I picked up a copy of Oblivion over the weekend. Jay had gotten it for XBOX360 on Saturday when Nicole and I stopped by. It had just come out, and it looked and sounded amazing. It was really made for the console and the optimization shines on the 360.…

> Wow. That was so weird. There’s so many people who lie. It’s normally little things, but why bother lying to people to make yourself seem cooler then you are. Do you want to be cool so badly that you’ll take the chance someone will figure you out? Maybe that’s cause most people won’t even care, they won’t try to call you out, even if they know you’re full of shit. This guy just IM’d me here at work, it sounded like he was looking for advice, but then he was just bragging?:“do you know anything about javascript?”“Uh… yeah, done…

> Wow, two updates in under a month – riproaring!The links… oh the links, they’re piled up in my text file here at work.I haven’t added any new ones as of late. I know, and it pains me. I tried to show someone a link I had found and alas, I had not posted it and thusly could not share. So I will button down and slack for a good 20 minutes and post those. It’s just dragging and dropping into QuickLINK, though I’ve still got to do minor modification. It’s meant to be used on a day to day…

>I’ve made some updates to Music Recommendations: TECHNO, check out some new tracks. I’m trying to get back to putting things where they belong. They’re not all techno, but I’ll rearrange soon.

>I’m watching one of my favorite movies, with my laptop in my lap.Sneakers is about a couple of hackers trying to be legit, but posessing the skills to do so much more if they weren’t trying so hard. I saw it early on, and it got me way more excited then some James Bond movie. It was realistic, and I thought it was great. There was no DVD available anywhere I looked, but I found it on UHD (Universal HD) so I recorded it. I’m watching it now and wanted to share it with anyone who hadn’t seen it yet.

> There’s so much going on. I’ve wanted to write so many times, but haven’t had the strength. There’s no time at work due to this program I’ve been coding. It wasn’t coming together and I had to redo the same function like 6 times. I finally figured out a way to do what I needed to yesterday, but it was a nerve racking day — not knowing if I’d finish in time, but I did. We had the birthday party on Friday, and I had a blast, but there’s a lot of people who need to be purged from…

> I was supposed to go to the NIN concert on Monday, however it was postponed “due to illness”. They rescheduled for Friday March 10th, a much better day for a concert. I was bummed because I really wanted to go, but at least it’s not cancelled. The first half of my day was spent getting up real early to get to Brother’s Custom Car Care in Westfield. They did the work on my previous car, my 03 Mazdaspeed Protege LTD — adding carbon fiber dash kit, A pillars and a turbo guage. It made the whole thing quite snazzy.…

>A “new type of explosion” has been discovered in space.

>My old car is posted online at BerteraSubaru.com!

>I’d like to get the reader’s take on the whole linkspage thing. My take is that no one gets to see it because it’s hidden and it opens in another window. I’d like to embed it in the page, but if I truly embed it, it’s too much javascript in one page. The site is already huge, even just the main page is a myriad of javascript, css, and external references which pull into the current. My other option is to do an iframe. I grew out of iframes but it makes sense in this case. I can make it…

>SOMEONE told me I needed to update. Here’s the scoop… I’m great. I’m wonderful. I’m enthusiastic about the future, hopeful, and happy.I’m doing well at work. I got a bonus, I got a raise. I was doing well before, now I’m certainly good to go. I got prequalified for a home. I’m in the process of nurturing a very wonderful relationship, and I haven’t had anything sketchy happen to me since I left Springfield. I’m happy how things are going, still in somewhat disbelief about things as they seem to be finally working out. I’m not letting down my guard,…

>I just got back from doing my taxes. In one day, (well, techinically in two weeks) I’m magically out of debt, the curtain lifted! I can now enjoy my year fresh, anew, without over a grand in credit card payments every month. I’ll actually have somthing in my savings. It’s amazing.My return is big enough to cover everything. I’m so light right now.

> Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms (album) – Money for Nothin (song) You may know it as “that song”, “the first computer generated video on MTV”, or “the chicks song” – you’ve heard it, but do you have a story about it?Post your comments about when you first heard the song. I’ll be updating in less then a day with my story, but I’ve got company coming soon — but I would also like to hear from others.

>This guy was a janitor. Here is the rat video. A sample of Japanese commercialsHave you heard about Clerks 2?Post your own “Kevin Federline is a flaming retard” comment! It’s fun! look for mine! I also posted some Rusted Root. I went to go see them in December, and captured some of the moment on my phone. Apparently there’s this new video format that phones create. It’s a 3gp extension. I think it’s MPEG4 so Quicktime reads it, but not by default, on this computer at least. I don’t know about editing it though, which is what the first 3…
