This looks like an amazing concept for a video game. They’re releasing a new version of Sonic the Hedgehog, and going back to 2d (it’s still going to look 3d). This makes me think of some of the types of things they might throw into the 2d environment to make it look cooler.

I’m finally getting around to reading The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria. I opened it this morning on the drive to work (Chas drove, not me), and in the first 20 pages, I read something that I wanted to share before I get started with my day.
In the six years since 9/11, Al Qaeda Central […]

Somebody bought Josh Freese’s $20,000 album package. This is fantastic news for two reasons.
One, people understand the value that we as rock stars* are offering.
Two, Josh now has already made enough money to purchase all of my album packages combined, for the small sum of $11,432.20
Honestly, I think the coolest possible outcome of this would […]
I’m proud to announce the release of promotional packages for my upcoming album. Some of you may have heard of Josh Freese, who has drummed with more groups than I care to list, including NIN, Devo, and A Perfect Circle. He has a line of packages to accompany his album. I figure since I’m (almost) […]
I’ve been practicing the drums more, and I’m starting to have a few breakthroughs.
I’m noticing that a lot of it is about combining limb movements. I got a practice book that talked about “limb independence”, but I think it was leading me down the wrong path. Maybe at higher levels of drumming, I’ll be focusing […]

I saw this video of Adam Savage talking at The Last Hope this past year. I recommend it. It’s awesome to see how dedicated he is, and what it takes to produce such great stuff.
Other than getting a preview of (then) new Mythbuster footage and getting to see a downloaded AVI of The Dark Knight […]

He’s talking about his love of languages, and why he got into Ruby.
He’s addressing some of the criticisms, that it’s slow, poorly implemented, embedding issues…he says the list of complaints goes on forever.
But, now he’s talking about why is Ruby good. He says people say it’s enjoyable, that […]
I saw Max Payne last night. Overall, it’s an okay movie. It wasn’t boring, it wasn’t slow, and we stayed entertained the whole time. Cool CGI and camera stuff also. But, there was too much that broke the suspension of disbelief for us. I mostly think it was the dialog and the fact that it […]
Last weekend, I saw my first-ever interpretive ballet. We got tickets to the opening night of Don Quixote at the Bob Carr Center in Downtown Orlando. Now, I’m not the kind of person who ordinarily would go to an interpretive ballet, but I still had a good time, despite not understanding most of it (and […]
A few years ago, I was at MegaCon and picked up a neat piece of art in their “Artists Alley”. I recently had to make a repair to it, and was visiting the site of the creator, Justin Stanley, so that I could repair it properly. Since it’s getting nearer Halloween, I figured I would […]
