December-11-Creative-Title Updates

11 12 2008

Three updates for you:

1. I “temporarily” have taken the Frostbite of the Heart EP down from the site. I hope it will be back up at some point in the future, but for mysterious purposes of my own, its spot on the internet must now remain vacant. Stay tuned…?

2. I’m going to embark on the journey of my third Facebook application soon. Just pre-planning for now, but I’m excited. It’ll be fun. Oh, yes it will, yes it will. You will like it. Yes you will. I guarantee.

3. For those who know what it means something to, the next update will arrive in a banana suit.

Oh, and just some fourth thing(s) that occur to me, if I’m doing this whole blogging my life thing; I made an order from amazon today of two things I’m really looking forward to - the “Reinhold Messner” transcription book and ”Compass Rose Boquet” by Great Lakes Myth Society, a completely unknown but awesome band from Michigan. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. 

Oh, and a fifth thing I guess. I’ll just comment that I bought Half-Life during Valve’s crazy 98 cent sale (because it was the game’s 10th birthday, from 1998). I’m almost done with it, and I must say that it truly stands up to the test of time. Not like some games like Wolfenstein, which I feel you need to view through the lense of the times, but I feel that the innovative story-telling, creative level design, and just overall fun gameplay really do keep the game fun under a modern context. And playing through it only makes me more excited for Black Mesa, the Source mod of the game that will be free for anyone with a Source game in Steam when it comes out (soon).

That is all.

Why Chrome Is Beautiful

2 09 2008

I have few qualms with Firefox. It is a great browser, and Ubiquity, launched just a few days ago, is a life-changing addition to that.

However, Chrome is a life-changing browser for a different reason: what’s underneath. What the end user doesn’t see working. It’s as if a team of people completely redesigned and improved the way a car is powered - its engine, its fuel source, everything about how the car physically runs - but then put it in a casing that looks like a normal car, so that anybody would understand how to use it. That’s what Google Chrome is.



I refuse to make any comment on this.

Hatred

16 06 2008

I hate Colby. I hate Colby.

So does the guy at the laundromat.

I do not hate Noah.

But the creepy guy who lives next to the movie theater does.
