Customs at airports.

I can understand the need to verify a person's identity at customs to make sure there is no funny business going on. But I continually get hassled at customs. It's rather annoying. Last night I was asked if had lived in any other states. Anybody who knows me knows very well that I've lived in quite a...

Spore...

So it's apparent that I haven't posted anything new in a while. I was going pretty well for a short while with new post content and then it just sort of died. Well I have no excuse for that but my excuse NOW is that Spore was released and I've been having a blast with it. For those that don't know what...

Eye drops for Kida.

I have a kitten named Kida. She's about 9 weeks old at this point. To make a long story short she hit her eye on something and made a pretty deep indention. We took her to the animal hospital today where they were able to clean it out and verified that she had not completely punctured her eye, thankfully...

For the love of Quake...

Today, I proposed to the Gamer group at Telligent that we should throw down during FragFest in an old classic. QUAKE So far, the response has been less than desired but they still have a week to make up their mind. In the mean time, I've been going through engine developments for Quake, new textures...

New look!

This was one of the things I was referring to yesterday when I said I would have more to blog about. I've been wanting to change my blog's look for a while, the gray was a little drab so I figured I'd do something with a little more kick for my new theme. It isn't perfectly implemented but it's good...

Windows Vista... and the switch.

I made the switch to Vista over the weekend. *As a note, I actually started moving everything around, formatting my HD and installing Vista on Thursday.* I'm starting to like it more and more as I've played around with it. I did have it installed, about a year and a half ago but decided I didn't want...

About the Grind...

As you can most certainly assume I gave up on the grind. Until there is a goal that is tangible and I know what I'm working toward I feel no need to waste ALL of the time I have at home in the evenings over the next months to get some "possible" reward. I've also been a terrible blogger. You...

Giving in to the grind...

I avoided it for as long as I could but it seems as though I'm giving in. I'm talking about grind. You know, that horrible "gameplay" mechanic solely designed to keep you playing for an inordinate amount of time for minimal benefit. The rant atm is about a title in the game Guild Wars. Perhaps...

Random Painting

I was messing around in Fireworks and the following "painting" came out. I call it "Alone" Let me know what you think. If you click to view the larger version keep in mind that it's 1680x1050. Both of these images (the smaller and the larger are GIF's to save on bandwidth.) If you...
