A Geekish View of Life

Dave and Busters! That’s it. Yesterday I had the wonderful occasion to hang out with my beautiful lady, Elaine. It was great fun as always. We were kinda tired from our week so we played a little Four Swords … in which I throughly kicked my own ass. Hurray … I mean … d’aw crap. It was a challenging level … made worse by tiredness slowed reaction times. Anyway after that we decided to take a nap. It was well deserved and wonderful. There is a wonderfully simple joy in sleeping entwined in the arms of your significant other. *sigh* :P”””””””””””””””””””””’

Anyway. After that we went to Dave and Busters. It was the first time I’ve ever been. It was pretty fun. They have some way cool games there. They have a big fun samuri game where there are motion sensors that react when you swing the sword. It’s helluvalotta fun. Although now my shoulders and neck are sore. Ah well. I also got to play in a rad Battletech sim. That was cool it had peddles and tons o’ buttons and stuff. But in an effort to make it more accessable to the casual gamer they toned down most of the advanced features. Still it was a blast. I was disapointed that the peddles didn’t do anything. But I also got to see the “horsey game”, aka Derby Club Owner, it is a horse racing sim where you can create multiple horses, run them and breed them. Bascially manage your own virtual stable. I didn’t actually play … but it looks interesting. Plus now I have actually heard the, now, famous catch phrase “Take the card with you!” It’s qutie amusing. In short it was a good time. Oh ! and I also had these tempura mushrooms. I’m salavating just thinking about them. So delicious. Well that was my weekend.

Now … I start school … hurray … Wake up at 6 bloody o’ clock in the morning. Weeeee.

I just spent the last … uh … eight and a half hours getting a computer to move from Windows Me to Windows XP.

Does that seem right to you?

I don’t care what they tell you … drugs and writing don’t mix. Here’s the proof.

3rd grader, a certified MS user. He took a test and everything. If he can anyone can. All it takes is patience.

• When Moose Attack! This is too odd not to share with the world.
• The USPS, Smile! Photos from around the US.
• State of the Mac Address. ::sniff:: It’s a beautiful thing. A sub $500 Mac! How cool is that? And lest we forget it’s Apple sexy too. It may not be ‘earth shattering’ but boy do I want one. That could easily nestle into the center of my digital world.

MS at CES. It is reassuring to know that in a world of violence and uncertianty some things are still dependable.

Perfect Ramen. This proves that life is better with noodles! It also shows the need for a really good quality bowl of noodles. I think my Dad makes the best … but I’m biased.

Take a moment and pause for the passing of one of the comic industry greats. The man who invented the ‘graphic novel’, Will Esiner, died yesterday at the age of 89.
