ok so, i know i said i was going to post more. and when i said that, i meant i would post actual stuff, not just youtube videos... and i know i just posted one, so i should probably not post another one right away... but... god damn. this is just so... weird looking. and amazing.

and one of the daily deals until noon tomorrow is fallout new vegas for 5 bucks... this is another one of those "its a crime not to own this game at five dollars" kind of games... ive got 85.9 hours in the game, and i didnt finish the main storyline until around 80... im working on the DLC expansions now, and ill probably get another 40 out of that stuff as well...

so the maybe two readers i have left have probably noticed i havent posted much for the last 8 months or so... just wanted to let anyone who follows know that im fine, in good health, just been very very busy. as you know, i got a new job about the same time i stopped posting, and its kept me busy to the point that a) when i get home i just dont feel like typing any more than i already have during the day and b) im honestly too busy to have much energy left for strong opinions :)

but everything is going well, after 7 months at the job, i went from the new guy to the guy in charge of all development, technology, and IT. i didnt actually get any more money, so that really just means "im responsible for 3x as much shit as i was when i started" but thats ok, being the guy who gets to decide how things are going to work is worth a whole lot. i never was much of a follower :) all those times id grind my teeth and think "this is not the right way to do this" have now turned into "holy shit, i hope this is the right way to do this, because its my ass if it isnt" :)

of course, im the most consistently right person i know, so im not sweating it too much :)

im going to make an effort to post a little more regularly, like once a week, just to get me back into it, and stop being such an online hermit like i have been lately...

right now. seriously. i mean, it costs less than a combo meal at a fast food joint, and it is CRAZY GOOD. its Dungeons of Dredmor and is the best new roguelike game ive played in a long long time. check out this video review then click, buy, and play.

i know i havent posted for a long time... ive been working my ass off in this new job, and the last thing i want to do when i get home is post in the blog. it isnt because i havent had things to post about, i have. i just... cant make myself do it.

but this... this is too amazing not to post... i LOVE this guy's response to the mainstream media branding independence day a "right wing holiday" recently...

i almost loled myself right out of my chair...

Mississippi Shows How You Handle Westboro Freaks

although id like to see more beatings involved...

so we're looking at doing an android version of our iphone stuff at work, but no one has an android tablet. i volunteered to get one since i kinda wanted one anyway... got one of the 10 inch viewsonic tablets, and its great. fast, pretty, lots of memory... and too freaking huge. i thought id like the larger size for laying around in bed before i crash watching some tv or something on it... but no, its just too big. so now im looking to offload it, either sell it, or trade for a smaller tablet like the samsung galaxy. anyone want to buy it?

update: i no longer have the crappy gtablet. instead, in fine ferengi fashion, i wheeled and dealed my way into a samsung galaxy tab. i relisted the gtablet on craigslist, resulting in a trade for a new (still sealed in box) mytouch 4g phone. i then listed the mytouch and sold it for $425, netting me a $125 dollar profit. THEN i found someone selling the galaxy for $365... subtract the $125 from the profit on the previous trade, and i picked up the galaxy for a net $240... which is damn cheap considering that $365 was the cheapest ive seen a galaxy tab listed so far.

and for what its worth... i LOVE it. beautiful screen. perfect size. very fast and responsive, smooth as silk. excellent battery life. everything i wanted in a tablet... gonna start playing around with writing apps for it at some point this week...
