The Developer of Doom

Here's a great interview with a developer a few of you might know and the rest of you better discover.

My favorite Mario game.

When You Need to Know Who the Daddy is

I actually miss working with plasmids.

Woohoo!

Just switched to Fios and the installation team will be here on the 19th!

Didn't increase my monthly payment a bit! And it boosted my bitrate by about 200%!!

Man, I should have written him in!

If only I was in college

The documentary is really long, about the 4th HvZ game at Goucher College. Check out 16:30 to 18:30, insane attack of zombies against a ragtag band of humans.

Absolutely insane

Just look at the stutter step after the jump. Completely authentic!

How did I miss this?

"...just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can't constrain the exercise of that right..."

Obama in the 2008 Primary debate with Clinton

They were talking about gun rights but man! That is just an insane thing to say and I heard nothing in it from the media (big shock). he claims our rights are like our property, property can be seized by the state and so can our rights. What good are they then when they can be removed from us at will?

God help us if this guy gets in with a Liberal Supermajority. I'm moving to Mars with DredBen.

Cutting edge science in your home

Researchers have just discovered that scotch tape exhibits luminescence when unpeeled. Not only that, but in a vacuum it produces serious amount of x-rays. I was unable to duplicate the glow with scotch tape but I could get it too work by opening a bandaid packet. It glows blue/green distinctly! Bugnuts insane is what that is.

Time for your morning meme

Nice.

Yeah this song rocks

Genius...or should I say Mad Genius?

Love that guy!

Read the Writings of 5th Graders from 1931

They have transcribed a book of 5th grade writings on the web. Read a few, and think that some of those boys may have been dying a decade later in France. Sobering.

I've got a bracelet too..it's from..uh...uh

What an orator!



In other news...nah I'll post it separate from this.

Wiiiiiiii!!!

Well, just Wii.

I gave the spouse clearance to buy a new bedspread and sheet combo thing and she gave me clearance to spend my Wii fund! Yeah! So we went out and found...nothing. Her bed set was not anywhere and Gamestop, Circuit City, Target, and Walmart did not have any Wiis. Not one. Not a single Wii in Central PA. Except for Best Buy, they had about 8. Thanks Best Buy, you guys rock!

So I start hooking this thing up and The Spouse watches her movie flick and I head over to my buddy Dwayne's place to check out his new PS3. Man is that thing a beast! Sweet.

I get home around 12am and decide to try out my Wii. It is now 2:16 and I can totally say, I would not trade that Wii for a PS3 or 360 any day of the week. It is the perfect system for the family.

Going to have to pick up a second controller though. One won't cut it. I'll blog further about it later, oh and I love Wiiware!

Goodbye CERN...Hello Master Chief

Halo should be new name for collider, says public

17 September 2008

After massive, worldwide public response, with its media office deluged by thousands of entries, the RSC has chosen the winner of its competition to suggest a new, inspiring name for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

Fed up with the contrived acronyms that plague the world of science, the RSC picked a suggestion which is simple, memorable, and brings to mind the deserved grandeur of perhaps the most important experiment ever built.

Halo conjures visions of radiant beauty, power and wisdom. The circle of light reflects the collider's form; it is a crowning achievement of science and engineering. It also gives more than a nod to the experiment's importance to religious debate.

It was by far the most popular entry, with hundreds of people suggesting the name. The winner of the competition was chosen at random from those who suggested Halo; this was Aaron Borges of Rhode Island, USA, who wins $892 (£500).

The RSC will be formally suggesting the new name to CERN and the Institute of Physics.

Some reports say that the RSC is suffering from "professional jealousy"; far from it. The RSC congratulates the physics community with nothing but admiration for their amazing project - it just has a very boring name.

Several other entries to the competition were popular. Colliderscope garnered many votes, with members of the public revelling in the pun on "kaleidoscope" - and some apparently oblivious to it.

Black Mesa, the name of an ill-fated research facility in the computer game franchise Half-life, was particularly well represented by gamers who Dugg media coverage of the competition on the social bookmarking site Digg.

Lots suggested that to find the answer to life, the universe, and everything, we should name the experiment after the computer designed to do just that in Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Deep Thought.

Other favourites were The Particrasher, E=M25, The Big Banger and Big Bang Two Point Oh.

It's nearly 1 am and I am immune to the gag inducing affects of vomit.

Yup, picking vomit chunks out of my hair. and boxers, and bathroom rugs. Wiping it up off the floor and washing the crib sheets and washed Seven of Three twice. I have never seen so much vomit come out of a kid. Ever. The day The Spouse of Proteinstar is off with the ladies I'm cleaning the second major vomit episode the family has ever seen. Coincidence? I think not.

It probably was the brownie and ice cream he had for dessert, and 102 temp. Well looks like my trip to EA is kaput. back to cleaning the floors, and then hopefully I'll have time for a long long shower. I'd show pics but man do I look nasty. Seriously, I have a blanched burger king french fry chunk wedged between my left ring finger and my left middle finger. I'm leaving it there to help me feel more miserable.

Do Do do Do DO do Do Do DO do DO...nevermind
