As If You Need Another Reason to Buy Halo 2...

Even though nobody in their right mind would need another reason to pick up Halo 2, here's one: the soundtrack features Steve Vai in parts. Oh yeah.

Oh, Wait... I Actually *Do* Have Something to Blog Today!

Get it pipin' hot and fresh... Mozilla 1.0 RC1. You'll probably want this one if you're on Windows.

Kingdom of Loathing = Fun

I've been playing Kingdom of Loathing a fair bit, and have to recommend it. It's pretty darn fun.

You're fighting a Gnollish Bodybuilder
This is a Gnoll who spends most of his time working out in the Degrassi Knoll Fitness Center. You're about to find out which of you is the fittest (y'know, for survival.)

Laszlo w/o the Presentation Server

One of the biggest drawbacks to using Laszlo has been the requirement that one has/had to have the Laszlo Presentation Server running on their web host (or use mylaszlo and host stuff there)... but this requirement will disappear soon... and it's about freakin' time.
(Andrew writes about it here.)

Woot! Del Taco in San Francisco!

I have found a Del Taco (the Mecca of fast food) a mere few blocks from where I'm working. It's overpriced... but it's Del Taco! WOOT!

Funny Answering Machine Messages

Answering machine message 243
(Star Trek theme in the background)
(Voice 1) Room 17, the final frontier.
(Voice 2) These are the messages of Chad's answering machine. Its two semester mission: To seek out your name and your telephone number.
(Voice 3) To boldly inform you to wait for the tone.

Brilliant

This guy is brilliant.

A crafty bachelor figured out a novel way to meet girls — by sneaking his phone number into the new Crate & Barrel catalog.
And it's paid off in spades for Marc Horowitz, who's received more than 500 calls in a month, and who now plans a cross-country trip to go on more than 70 dates.

Virtual Economies Vs. Third-World Economies

According to this article virtual economies (in games like EverCrack, or Ross' Master- COH) are stronger than some third-world economies. What this says about our world, I just don't want to seriously consider.

Cool Word Game - Bookworm

I've been playing Bookworm a bit the past day or so, and it's quite fun. Basically, one makes words with the available tiles in a kinda Boggle-like manner, though there a lot more tiles, and once used, the tiles disappear and the tiles above the ones used shift down and new ones appear at the top.

Build Your Own Macintosh Computer... Cheap

So, you're just dying to have a Macintosh? With only a sheet a paper, a printer, and one of the designs here you can make your own... with all the power of the original at a trivial fraction of the cost.
Or.... if you own an Xbox... you can run Mac OS X on it.

I Love Taproot

I've been listening to Taproot's album Welcome a lot lately... worthy.

I wanted to wait long enough to make sure it was true, but it looks like we're going to begin recording Taproot Album #3 next week! We had a meeting with our management and label a couple weeks ago and decided we were ready to go.

Woot!

Gym Membership? Why?

Why bother with a gym membership when there's now a "video game" that removes the risk of watching women work out?
