Hello, World!

My voice to the world! Less political than "Words from the Cynic."

Oh, and good acting too!

WHEEEEEEEEE!

Arfenhouse!

Take Beavis and Butthead, South Park, the most stoned-out anime you have ever seen, and a kilogram of stimulants; put them into a blender set at ice crush, shoehorn it into flash, and fastforward—the end result should be arfenhouse—the best (and most hilarious) crack and acid trip you'll ever have. Go see them both! Part 1 part 2

Did you know that Idiota is Hungarian for idiot?

There are few things worse for an organization than having a capable intelligent leader be usurped by an incredible moron; Apple Computer knows this well.

Universe

If I am ever going to do 3D graphics, I am going to do it in Universe, why? When you start it up, it automatically presents you with X, Y, Z, and isometric views; the toolbox is a unit that contains everything, each category given a tab and everything is straightforward, nothingcomplicated or roundabout, very much my style, and the best part is the feel of the thing: it actually feels like you can do stuff with it, it has character! mate. I only have the (constantly crashing) demo, but once I get my own computer, I am getting the full edition. It also has animation, camera, and Raydiosity tools included as seperate programs (these are usually integrated in other suites, but I hope these will operate with little difficulty).

Radiohead CD

I got Radiohead's CD "Hail to the Thief" today; I would've gotten "The Bends", but Future Shop did not have it. (Should've gone to MusicWorld).

Approaching the building felt like entering a temple, a feeling I quickly tried to suppress. The CD also had a strange "Copy Protection" label, which I thought was a joke: I have their Airbag/How am I Driving promo CD which I got from a friend of a friend of mine who did not want it; the case decor gave me the impression that they'd pull such a thing, But several rechecks disproved that. It was real: I will not be able to rip tracks for personal use, making me wonder if it will work with iTunes.

I question copy protection. While it may ruin pirates, it also kills responsible burning, something I would prefer doing to piracy, and that is not good.

Telstar Gemini

Coleco (which, ironically, stands for Connecticut Leather Company), once made a video game system called the Telstar Gemini. It was a pinball simulator made in the seventies, thus it had buttons on each side of the console for the flippers and a button on the face for the launcher. Having the controls built onto the console was common in the seventies.
I bet some of you are going, "What!? There were consoles in the seventies!?"; hey, the Atari VCS (Later, the 2600) was released in 1977 (I bet that got you too).
Anyway, it did not use cartriges, but if it did, it woulda been cool.

I Love Old Computers

Personally I like the old horizontal all-in-one models, the ones that have their disk drives beside the screen. I'd design a computer like that for sale—with all the power of a modern unit of course!

Two words: Nokia N-Gage!

Nokia's N-Gage is out, or will be coming out pretty bloody soon! I am high, and GameSpy's N-Gage page (it rhymes! *snicker*) is coming out on the 22nd!

I got interested in the N-Gage when I heard they are making a Sonic game for it.

Just filling space

Yes, it is nigh midnight where I am (New Brunswick, Canada), but no sane person would stay up at this hour; ergo, traffic is low; ergo my god-damned dial-up connection is running at a relatively high speed.

I am currently in blog mode right now; ergo, I am sounding rather American.
I am one confused little man.
