"The future disappears into memory, with only a moment between."
My time off starts in April, and I have a bunch of work to do before then. I thought I would post some of the sites and articles I looked at before I talked to my employer.
A new Trader Joe's opened recently here, and we have gone a few times now and are starting to figure out which things we really like. The price's are great and so far everything we have tried has been very good. Here are a few of our favorites:
Wow, look at all the extras included in the Blade Runner: Ultimate Collectors Edition.
We saw the new Harry Potter movie this weekend. Wow, great movie. As a purist there were a few things that I don't think they should have changed. However, they did a really good job with the story, lots of magic, and lots of fun.
Why do parents insist on taking children to movies when they know they are too young to keep silent during the movie. Please be considerate and stay home.
The final Harry Potter book comes out this weekend. We are only getting one copy of the book. I have to read it quickly so that Lisa isn't suffering for too long. I have only been this crazy for one other series, The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zalazney.
I have been working with the Flex 2 SDK and Flex Builder. I re-wrote our picture gallery in Flex. It requires Flash 9, and should prompt you to install it.
This part of the site does not currently exist. Long dead tech.
I had the wrong weapon in this guy's hand when I took the other pictures. Here he is with the axe.
I haven't been doing much with my clay work lately, so I thought I would post something I did a few months ago. This work is meant as a tribute to the art work of Ursula Vernon and is not for sale. Wearer of Weasel Skins
After much searching and an absolute refusal to wait in early morning lines, I managed to get a Nintendo Wii. Target had at least 8 of them and the checkout guy seemed puzzeled at my excitement. Heres my early review:
Nintendo Wii: The graphics are the only disapointment on the Wii. The controls are the best of any console. This is the first time I haven't missed a keyboard and mouse on a console. The Online store could learn a few things from Microsoft's marketplace, but I expect it to improve over time. I have not been able to find a second Wii controller, or component video cables.
Wii Sports: No one expects the sample disc that comes with a console to be worth much, but I have spent as much time playing Wii Sports as I have any of the other games I have.
Rayman Raving Rabbids: Think of Wario ware style mini-games that make you laugh. This one is really fun and should be fun to show your friends when they come over to gawk at your Wii.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Wow! Apparently I haven't really even started the game yet, and I'm already 3 hours in. The story seems to be complex and the controls are spot on. It's supposed to take 60 hours to complete this game.
Hmm, looks like the site has been broke in Explorer for more than a week. The problem became visible when we added the Amazon links. Apparently there was a missing greater than on a script end tag. Firefox was fine with it, but Explorer freaked all out.
Problem fixed, there's nothing to see here, move along.
