XBox 360

Well, we got an XBox 360 and it's pretty damn cool.

Pros:

• Very nice interface.

• Playable demos of almost everything.

• 1080i HD output to our TV.

• Playback of MP3's from our XP server over the local network.

• Viewing of Pictures from our XP server in HD.

• XBox Live Arcade games are almost more fun than the full XBox games.

Cons:

• Can't play movies from the local network server without Windows Media Center OS.

• Games are slightly more expensive than PS2 and PC games.

• Very loud cooling fans.

Fun with the new camera on the 4th of July.

I had fun taking pictures on the 4th this year. Here are a few of the them.

There was a car fire at a neighbor's house. I managed to get a few pics.

New Camera

I just got a brand new digital camera. The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT. This camera is simply amazing. I have a bunch to learn when it comes to photography, but it will be fun learning with this camera.

More dragons

I've been working on a few small dragons.

Dragon box

I saw a box of dominoes at World Market with a dragon picture on them. The box was $30, way too expensive. So I took a box I bought at Goodwill for a dollar and made a Dragon to place on top of it. Then I took a box of dominoes we have, that cost maybe 6 dollars, and put them in.

More New Clay

Some more clay things I have been working on. Nothing too great, but here are the pictures anyway.

New Clay

It's been a while since I updated with any clay pics.

New version of FindInJars app.

I made a minor update to the "Find In Jars App". It's now at version 1.1 WooHoo! Man I need a better name for that app. Changes Include:

• You can now use periods in place of slashes in the class name field.

• User preferences saved in users home directory.

Update

I dropped this off of here years ago. I may bring it back some day, but that would be on my GitHub.

New Games

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Warning this game is very addictive. Think single player warcraft, but with better quests. I've been playing for 30 hours and I have barily touched the main storyline. I have been spending my time with side quests that I found interesting.

Kingdom Hearts II Much better than the first game. I think the ability and players system is a little too complicated. But how fun is it to run around in Disney movies. I can't wait for the Tron section.

Katamari Damacy A very strange and addictive game. I can't do it justice. You just have to try it.

Welcome to the Metaverse

That little green guy is me in the online world of Second Life. I'm hoping to open a store in SL soon. More to come.
