Spacewar! – This was probably the first video game I remember playing. The link here shows the orginal game before it was turned into a quarter sucking fest. A link at the site has a java applet that plays the game too.
I used to play this with my grandfather whenever we went to the mall for arcade games. Each quarter upped the time limit to the match, if I remember correctly. It even had a ship that looked like the Asteroid’s ship and another ship that looks like the Enterprise.
I’ve yet to see a remake that emulates it like the arcade. Nothing has come too close yet. (sounds, parts of the ship blowing off, etc.) The arcade version let you blow up part of the ship and still play (ie. an engine could be blown up, but you could still fire.) Not sure if the above applet has it because it’s hard to play alone before the other ship gets sucked into the sun.

Hello out there.. is this thing on? (tap tap)
This place has been pretty dead except for comments and comment spam. Stupid fart knocker spammers. I spent alot of time deleting and cleaning up the comment system and even shutting it off until Matt from WordPress created this plugin: Akismet. I stuck that puppy in and it took most all the work out of managing the comments.
I even tried a new theme for awhile, but since most of my friends use RSS readers, that was rather pointless. It was mostly to see how the themes actually installed (I hadn’t done one before.)
Next up, WordPress 2.0 was released. The new features are very nice along with a great update to the admin panels. I won’t bore you with all the details, but it’s definitely worth the upgrade time and effort (it’s free ).
I’ve installed it and it even comes with the Akismet plugin already build it. You just have to activate it. So for now, all is well. (Crossing fingers and one eye for luck.) I may even update the theme again.

Dating an Apple Developer – I can relate to this article so much. It’s the same in a gay relationship with geeks. In our case, my boyfriend doesn’t understand the obsession with Apple’s stuff. He likes Open Source only. So he mostly roles his eyes when I get excited about the newest OS or the latest software. He does offer to go stand in line at the Apple Store with me when he’s not working .
Anyway, the entry was really well written and brightened my day today. Kudos to the author!

Google Sightseeing – This has to be one of the neatest weblogs out there.
It’s a site that uses Google maps to view some nifty locations.

Entertainment News Article | Reuters.co.uk – I wonder what this could mean for folks with a bad eye.
Will this new 3-D moving making thing be so big, that in 10 years everything will use it? Having only one functional eye, prevents me from ever finding out what is so great about this.
I suppose it’s selfish, but part of me doesn’t ever want to see this happen. I will probably never be able to experience or enjoy them and they could be so popular (who really knows at this point?) that movies of today could go away (like black and white).
Knowing full well that’s the wrong attitude and that it could be an experience millions could enjoy, I do hope they have some provision for single eye’d folks to be able to enjoy these films.
Have you ever watched a cheesy 3D movie released on TV? or closed one eye while wearing those blue and red glasses from hell?
