Month of December, 2003

Conservative Right.

Just located this on the web. It's worth a read and it's nice to find people of my politcal ideology here in the liberal, left-wing bay area.

Choplifter Reborn….Sorta.

As a kid I vastly enjoyed the game choplifter. Imagine my suprise when I located an updated version of it called Chopper. It's currently for OSX and completely free (well for now at least).

I also looked around and found a similar game called Bushfire. Download both and go have fun.

Forbes Article

So awhile back (5 months or so) Erika Brown over at Forbes interviewed Chris DiBona and I about the Game Development Studio we started. It came out in the December 22nd 2003 Issue that's on newstands now. Here's a link to the online version. Registration is required but it is free. Overall it's a good article. Some of the "facts" about us were in fact wrong but somehow, even after going over it with the Forbes Fact Checker these "facts" found their way into the story. No worries.

New Xbox game - Amped 2

So yesterday while at Best Buy, while waiting for Cingular to transfer over my old cell phone number over to my new phone I got a chance to play Amped 2 on one of the Xbox demo stations located within the store. I liked it so much I bought it. So far I've really enjoyed playing it and have moved up from being ranked 250 in the world to 216. It's getting to the point now where it's actually fairly difficult to put enough tricks together to gain any serious points. No points...No advancement. Anyways, if you liked or like SSX3 then you'll enjoy this title as well.

Next Up - Outlaw Golf

Wireless Local Number Portability (WLNP)

Thank You Federal Communications Commission. Thanks to the Wireless Local Number Portability Mandate I've dropped SprintPCS and have moved over to Cingular. My number remains the same and was able to get a neat new phone as part of the switchover. I picked up a Sony Ericsson T616. So far it's pretty sweet. The only major drawback I've seen so far is that entering contacts via the phone interface sucks. I'm going to have either buy a new Powerbook or buy a bluetooth card for my existing ti-book.
