Time For Halloween Comments Off

I love the color orange so of course Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. Not just because of the pumpkins and candles but Autumn really loves Halloween and I know Aiden will too. We went to Cardoza’s Pumpkin Farm in Petaluma, CA this morning. Great place to get pumpkins and for [...]

First Steps Comments Off

Over the last few nights, Krista and I have been coaxing Aiden into walking using ice cream and other tasty treats Today, Aiden took his first steps without any help from us. I was playing NCAA College Football 2004 on PS 2 with Aiden hanging out next to me playing with his ball (he loves [...]

LEGO Wants You! Comments Off

“Jeremy points out”:http://www.antipixel.com/blog/archives/2003/10/14/professional_lego_builder_wanted.html that “LEGO is searching”:http://www.legomasterbuilder.com/ for their seven Master Builder to work at the LEGOLAND theme park in Carlsbad, CA. When I was growing up all I ever did was build LEGOs. With two brothers in the house there was always some big project going on to out do each others latest creation. [...]

Adding Some Style To MT 2

Over the last few evenings I’ve been adding some new things to the site, mostly stuff no one will notice but cool none the less. I’ve been getting really sick of looking at those standard Moveable Type permalink URLs so I’ve implemented “M·r’s solution”:http://mar.anomy.net/entry/2003/06/22/17.15.00/ of future-proofing my URLs. Sure, I could have really done some [...]

GameCube Online Via Warp Pipe Comments Off

GameCube owners have been looking for a way to play games online since it was released back in 2001. The “Warp Pipe Project”:http://cubeonline.gamefarmer.com/ is hopefully a way for them to do that (including me). By tunneling packets through your existing internet connection (high speed only, of course) you’ll be able to play LAN enabled GameCube [...]

Animal Crossing Lives! Comments Off

Joe is getting a lot of mileage out of Nintendo’s Animal Crossing game. He’s been playing the game for over a year now and has documented his travels along the way. What’s interesting about Joe’s log is he views Animal Crossing as more of an A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) science experiment than a game you play [...]

iChat AV Is Death Comments Off

Heed my warning: Whatever you do, don’t install the iChat AV beta on your Mac. Sure, I unsuspectingly installed in onto my iBook and everything worked great. However, that all changed when I installed it onto my G4 tower. After the mandatory reboot (why a damn reboot Apple?) the machine just died. Right after the [...]

More Than Music Comments Off

The “Apple iPod”:http://www.apple.com/ipod/ is a great music device. Nothing helps me zone into work more than listening to a sweet playlist I’ve created with “iTunes”:http://www.apple.com/itunes/. I’ve always thought that my iPod could do more, considering it’s just a hard drive in pretty white casing. I found “Pod2Go”:http://www.kainjow.com/pod2go/website/ recently, a simple yet powerful program that downloads [...]
