BFG Gaming Update
Let’s see… I placed 5th in Fusion Frenzy, pretty much dead last in Rally Sport, and somewhere middle of the pack in UT2k4 (nice teams Scott!).
The big news is, as we’re in the middle of the Doom3 Tournament, 2nd round, I beat Fazin. I could lose out from here and be happy.
More pictures uploaded!
Got back from Chicago Indoor Racing, latest batch of files updated.
I left my camera out next to my PC, I take no responsibility for some of the pics!
BFG Arrival – The Reason We're Here
We’ve arrived at BFG!
This is the trophy we’ll be playing for tomorrow.
Go-karting tonight!
Site Updates
So I’m sitting here at the in-laws, have a while till I leave.
So I fixed all the imported blog entries from my old blog. All of the categories are now correct.
Still not sure why the old blog entries that had hyperlinks in them only show up when you click the whole entry instead of the front page, but I’m not going to worry about it. If people are going back a year and a half to read my blog entries, they’ll figure it out.
Off to Partay
In Milwaukee, leaving in a few hours.
Think I’ll stop at Kopps for lunch and have one of the greasiest burgers money can buy. Reminds me of when I first started working for Best Buy and ate at the Kopps across the street from the Southridge store. And don’t get me started on the custard…
Camera is ready, Flickr is purchased, digital imaging software is installed on my gaming PC (what blasphemy – productivity software installed on my gaming PC, and it’s M$ software at that).
Should be fun.
Random Goodness
Boing Boing is full of random goodness today.
First, BB has a link to Found Item Clothing, who has re-created the shirts from the movie Real Genius that Chris Knight (played by Val Kilmer wore).
Next, BB points out that William Gibson (of Neuromancer and other books’ fame) has started blogging again.
It looks like the current election cycle has gotten to him. Let me quote one of the jokes he has up on his site:
President Bush goes to an elementary school to talk about the war.
After his talk, he offers to answer questions. One little boy puts up his hand and the president asks him his name.
“I’m Billy, sir.”
“And what’s your question, Billy?”
“I have three questions, sir. Why did the US invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Why are you President when Al Gore got more votes? And whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?”
Just then the bell rings for recess. Bush announces that they’ll continue after recess.
When they return, Bush asks, “OK, where were we? Question time! Who has a question?”
Another little boy raises his hand. The president asks his name.
“I’m Steve, sir.”
“And what’s your question, Steve?”
“I have five questions, sir. Why did the US invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Why are you President when Al Gore got more votes? Whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden? Why did the recess bell go off twenty minutes early? And what the heck happened to Billy?”
Flickr Follow-up
Well, I went ahead and purchased a Pro account of Flickr for this weekend.
In testing the service out I used 99% of my allowed bandwidth (oops!). This jumps me from 10 MB of bandwidth to 1 gig. That should be plenty.
This should be fun, charging the new camera up now.
