A Few Things

I’m guessing it has been noticed by now we’ve slowed down considerably. What happened? Well what was the major reason we ground to a halt last time… Oh that’s right, Evan’s computer broke. It appears he’s having for REAL hard drive issues this time. We shall see how things turn out. Anyway, here’s a two-for post for you.

My New Abode

This isn’t our actual house, I have no pictures of the house, but it conveys the feel of the house.

Impressed

I’m really shocked by what  little mention on a website can do. As quickly as we fell under, we came soaring back up because of Evan’s one BBY at the airport post. To think that if he could get a mention here and there, we may actually have a popular blog on our hands. It seems that with blog popularity comes increased responsibility. If you want continued success there has to be a standard to which all posts must then conform. Maybe I should start sticking the address for this blog in random places. Or I should switch to quick posts,

“Here’s a cool video!”

Done.

 

Good Things Must End

I know that my writing tends to focus a lot on my work, most likely because it’s the most interesting thing I’ve got to write about that’s tame. I’m not saying I have many wild and crazy nights, but for the content of the blog, I’ve got to keep the audience broad.

I also think that hearing real inside stories about how a company is truly run is a great way to make change on a much bigger scale. If everyone has the same inside knowledge as the employees, the playing field is leveled, and a business would have trouble evolving into something like a monopoly. As long as one person understands why I keep writing these, I’ll feel good about it.

Onward with the tyranny… 

Away From Home: Food

You know, I’ve seen a lot of movies and television about college life, and I’ve got to admit, there was a lot I was expecting coming in to college that just didn’t happen. When I first came to a university, so much ridiculous stuff happened, I probably should have been keeping a journal of some sort to keep record of all the extra stupid things. I am in my third year of college, so I think I’ve got some room to talk about how it has been.

An Addendum for Best Buy Express

If I would have known Evan had a remote interest in this I would have mentioned it forever ago, I’ve known about this for about a month or so.

Read the post below this one first.

I have a little explanation behind the prices in the vending machines. Most of the products featured in the machines are price protected products. Items from Apple and gaming manufacturers are normally price protected. This is why the items aren’t stupidly overpriced, as I’m sure BBY wants them to be.

Forget the +/- .50 cents Wal-Mart takes off, comes back in tax anyway.

This should have been a comment probably, but whatever.

My Car: A Fool’s Story

So Evan admits being an idiot with his computer, I admit to being a supreme idiot with my car.

I won’t go in to how much I love my car, and how I think it’s better than every other car. I’ll just get right in how I almost ruined it…

Blog Update – Dec 23, 2008

Well, Music Master isn’t finished yet, but I have made plenty of progress. Really, all I need to do now is add damage, dying, finish the level, and then the smaller things like the title screen and a points system.

So, it sounds like a lot, but it’s really not that much.

The main reason why it’s been slow going is because we had a Christmas party at my house today because my brother and sister-in-law are going to her parents house for Christmas. We exchanged gifts and I got Watchmen.

I know I’m a little late jumping on the boat, but I’m looking forward to reading it and will definitely be writing a piece on it when I’m done.

Anyway, that’s all that’s been going on right now, so I’m going get back to Wii Music!

The Computer is Fixed!

Or, “Evan is an Idiot”.

So, after 2 months of no Thinkpad, 140 or so dollars, and lots of time spent on finding a solution, I finally fixed my computer last night.

Revival

Well, with school finally out and Winter vacation in full swing, it’s time to bring things back into perspective and have somewhat of an official blog relaunch. After several months of unnecessary silence from Evan, it’s time to get things back on track.
