  • Burn the ants

    Did you like burning ants as a kid? If you did, try this game out, then. Me, personally, I preferred blowing up grasshoppers with an air gun. I haven’t found a game like that yet.

  • Diversions

    Bored? Here’s a fun game called Snow Bowling.(dead link) Go ahead and waste some time.

  • Too much gaming

    I love to play video games. A lot. I’ve been know to play for a couple hours straight, but never to any amount of excess. This guy, on the other hand took it a little too far. I liked playing Diablo II, but not that much.

  • May Day

    Not much going on right now, school is bearing down on me pretty hard, but that’s to be expected. I never thought a class could put such a damper on my ego but my EE832 class has got me pretty stumped. It’s quite possibly the toughest class I’ve had. But I need another 800-level class to finish up, so I gotta get things done. My Thesis is moving along (possibly not at the rate I’d like it to, but it is getting there. Other than that, I’m alive. that’s good enough for me.

    Got some new stuff to write about. First off, there’s a website called Where’s George? that has been around a while but I just started using it. It has a cool concept: you enter in the serial number of a dollar bill (or a five, ten, whatever) and it then tracks that bill. If someone else then finds your bill and subsequently enters it into the database you get a ‘hit’. The more bills you enter, the better your chances. Originally they had rubber stamps you could use to stamp your bills with ‘www.wheresgeorge.com’ so others would find the site as well. They no longer sell them, but you could always write the address yourself. If you ever get a bill marked like that, check out the site, it’s pretty cool.

    This link is making the rounds in emails and other such places. If you haven’t received an email like this, check it out. Supposedly you can see a ghost image somewhere. iIcan’t see it. They also say if you turn up your speakers you can hear whisperings. I dunno, I can’t hear anything.

    Ever since I quit Diablo (and made a few bucks, too) I haven’t played a good RPG. I’ve since got Dungeon Siege. It’s a pretty cool game with some sweet graphics and entertaining game play. The story is weak, but the graphics and everything else makes up for it.

    I bought a Diet Coke today for lunch, and as I was walking back to my office I realized there’s no ‘cool’ way to carry a bottle of soda pop. If you grab it by the top in between two fingers it looks really wierd. If you grip it around the neck, your hand is usually too big for it and if you grab it by the body your hand warms it up and it loses its cool (no pun intended). That’s just something I realized today.
