The Great Googoliny!

So we've updated our website at work with various kids games, etc... One of them which got our Accounting Manager stumped on a card game. I think I've probably spent about 30 minutes hitting up the games on this site. They are cheesy and old but addictive kinda like when that person you know wants to bust out a board game that no ones played in years but you find yourself sitting there after 5 hours attempting the greatest come back that board games have ever seen.

I like this one that I played. Check out the rating for both April and myself. Quite sweet and laughable at the same time. Noticed we either died together of old age or we both poisoned each other. In fact if I look hard enough she kinda looks like a he..wait a minute. Just for grins I posted some other couples that I know.



The scores get slightly worse...


...and worse



...I'm not sure but I think this is my brother's actual view on marriage.



...Paul looking at Father Time? Game on bitches!

still sick...

going on about 4 days with this sickness...hopefully it ends by the week so I can do the same thing I'm doing right now but without the sweats.

this looks like my buddy Shawn if he was a cool stop motion drummer/keyboardist.

I knew it...

A guy that has come over our house several times and has always been creepy to me...who is also a member of our church and part of the choir...and most recently he was at my house on Sunday has been arrested. Read this...it will fucking blow your mind.

also I forgot to mention I've actually been to his house. I should have known there was something creepy with a vhs collection of meangirls, sleepover, and other girl starred children's movies. I'm not making this shit up. It's blowing my mind as I speak. On a side note, he also had framed pictures of unicorns and rainbows. Once again I am not making this shit up and it's blowing my mind as I speak it...again.

I Heart Dollar Tree

I'm sick today...think I caught the bird flu at the Dollar Tree. I bought 20 dollars of shit there. That's a lot of shit. My friends were laughing but I saw you with that bag of pork rinds Mr. Martinez.

Needless to say, if you are reading this Dollar Tree Execs, please hire my Mexican buddy for commericials. He went through every isle exclaiming, "This can't really be a dollar!" while other shoppers were looking on in disgust.

Gotta represent the Korean comics. Here's one for ya:

The Fountain : A Space Odyssey

Saw it last night at the Drafthouse. I personally loved it.

The movie is about an obsessed doctor named Tommy looking for a cure for his dying love Isabel. Now, it could have been the 3 heavy New Belgium Beers that helped my buzz to enjoy the visuals or the movie's soundtrack which was haunting and fitting to the overall pace of the film. It's artsy. So don't be surprised to see eastern philosophy thrown in as well and the movie sometimes feeling choppy. Reviewers have said that it's a very abstract and philosophical movie with stunning visuals.

The visuals are good for a low budget sci-fi/love movie. They do however get grand at the film's climax as the music does.

Past (which is written story by his dying Isabel) present (which is hacked up - one was real - the other written by Tommy - You'll understand once it gets to the ending) and the future (which I believe is real in the movie and is the basis of telling the two other stories) all collide together from beginning to end.

It makes you think about not taking your life and the ones you love for granted while it's still there. Needless to say at the end of the movie everyone stayed in their seats for about 3-5 minutes just soaking it in. I heard about 4-5 people laugh which didn't surprise me. For having the Sci-fi in it the movie is very cold and real feeling and it's all the sadness that death is. If you see this don't expect to be blown away by the visuals or think that it's supposed to be this generations 2001. It's a love story about hope, neglect, life and death presented in a very beautifully shot film. If you want to see something completely different and don't want to see another holiday movie about youth hijinks ,talking animated penguins, or watching an aging depressing actor put on boxing gloves again (though I'd like to see all those put into 1 movie) check this movie out. Then go get some Cold Stone Ice Cream and sit in bed with your loved one when you get home.

WallyChamp is heading back

got a message on my myspace account that read, "I'm in."

We're glad to see you back Mr. Todd. Commence the drinkin'.

Wii don't want the PS3 baby

It's got a "cell" supercomputer processor, a high storage "blu-ray" drive, and a "reality synthesizer" graphics card.

Ooooh. Ahhhh.

The "emotion engine" was the second coming also. Betamax, MiniDisc, UMD, etc, etc. Every technology has it's pluses and minuses, and in this case Sony has (arguably) built a very capable media system. The problem is that they've only built an adequate GAMING system when you consider what the gaming public expects next-gen to be at this price point.

In the long run, it doesn't matter that the game experience the PS3 provides is comparable to the competition. Millions of PS2 owners haven't been burned by Sony's "promises" (like most of the hardcore and gaming press have) and see only the step up in horsepower the PS3 provides over it's predecessor... Units will sell and sell for the foreseeable future (if only for hopes of eBay profiteering) as fast as Sony can produce them (for now).

In case you didn't know... the PC processor you're using right now is most likely more powerful than the "cell" processor (and Xenon for that matter). BluRay? Uses a 10+ year old codec. It's akin to saving ".wav" files to your iPod instead of MP3's...a waste at no visible quality improvement over the competition. RSX? Pretty decent upgrade, but no unified shader pipeline...

Programmers can only do so much with the system they're given, and (bottlenecks aside) there are just too many hoops to jump through to get performance out of the PS3 when compared directly to the 360.

Sony's a big guy waving a sword. Microsoft is Indiana Jones with a gun in holster.

RIP James Kim

James Kim's video review ultimately helped me decide on my Cowon A2 player when I was looking for a new audio/video device that I could take on trips. At the time I was like, "Wow, a Korean talking about a Korean gadget and he's not an Apple fanboy." How cool is that. He's reviewed several other cool gadgets and is dead on about his reviews.

He died Wednesday of hypothermia in the Oregon wilderness looking for help while his two children and wife stayed back in the car fighting the frostbite. You'll be missed.

The following link shows the path that he took and where the car was using Google Earth.
