I love Rifftrax. We’ve bought about $12 worth now, all money well spent. Buuuuuuut, their server is sooooooooooo slow! Took 20 minutes to buy three, and that’s not including download time. Downloads were actually very fast. But I think their catolog is clogged with shitty SQL, or something. God knows. It’s horrible! Still, I highly [...]
As if James Burgett needed to find his voice… He was featured on Voice of America, the government funded international radio station that’s broadcast in a number of languages, I believe. Congrats, James.
While I can’t reveal my sources, I have a pretty reliable report on what’s coming from Sony this fall. The embattled company is said to be working on a next-generation PSP which will contain a hard drive. In addition, it will be identical to the existing PSP, though it may be larger and suck down [...]
I joined Eve Online today. Paid for the first month. I got myself a cruiser, and I’m loving how easy the earlier missions are now. I’m gonna bang these out while waiting for the next level of drone control. I do so love my Valkarie drones… Ok, what on Earth am I blathering about? I’ll [...]
Yesterday, V took me to the Chapel of Chimes’ in Oakland. Or, I guess that’s Piedmont. But then, Piedmont and Monte Claire are just posuer cities that want to escape the association with Oakland… I digress. The Chapel of Chimes was originally designed by Julia Morgan, Hearst’s favorite architect. She really did an amazing job [...]
Peter Van Kleef, of Cafe Van Kleef fame has tipped me off to a nefarious plot, hatched by do-gooders and underaged minors to make cigarettes and tobacco harder to enjoy in Oakland. The proposal has all sorts of draconian provisions, like prohibiting smoking in duplexes, smoking within 36 feet of the doorway of a building, [...]
Just stumbled across this fellow’s Youtube Site. Basically, he signs into Ventrilo servers used by MMO gamers and then harasses them with sound clips. Quite funny, though childish. I think he signs in multiple times and uses a couple IP’s. Who knows, maybe he’s port scanning looking for open servers…
Playing a lot of Battlefield 2 recently. Probably because this is a game that Travis and I can play together. We’ve had some great moments, most of them Travis saving my ass from some hidden vantage. But last night I was the last insurgent on the board, and the Americans had taken all the victory [...]
It’s a brilliant example of the serious games movement. The Redistricting Game came up today at SuperNova‘s open session day. Basically, you draw lines on a county map to redistrict the voters, just like a real partisan senator! Go play it now. As for the rest of the day, ran into Tony Wasserman, the bright [...]
I look forward to seeing Paprika tonight. It should be a mind blowing experience.
