Recent Work & Thoughts
Fast Food Fever.com - It's still going and may even be featured in FHM magazine
Single Serve Coffee.com - It's going strong and I even have 4 paid advertisers - 4!!!
Shaving Stuff.com - Russell Neufeld and I are doing this one and it's been very fun so far.
Kitchen Contraptions.com - Maya, Russ, and I will be doing this and Michael too.
Also on the gaming front - Halo 2, Half Life 2, Everquest 2 - SO MANY 2s!!!
And most importantly...my family life. Anya, Maya, and her mom are so inspiring. Anya just does more and more and more stuff everyday and Maya seems to adapt with no effort. She's amazing. Her mom has been such a light to how important family is and how important they are to have around, and how much they can be the best friends you can have. It makes me miss my parents, my brother, my aunt and uncle more and more everyday. That's a good thing not a bad thing. I love them all.
Well that's all for now. I rarely write these types of posts - but once in awhile you have to.

More 'them' than 'us'
"MSNBC - More 'them' than 'us': "So let there be no whining when your husband's National Guard obligation leaves him under fire for six extra months, or when Granny and Gramps are eating cat food, or when it become increasingly impossible to meet the economic needs of the middle-class family.
No complaining. None of it.
You wanted this guy. Now you have him, unleashed."
Totally F**king Depressing
The Cult of Mac Blog: "It's a beautiful, sunny, marine-clear morning here in San Francisco, but no one's very cheerful. It's a black day in America. Four more years of war and death, domestic decay and neo-con lunacy (three slots on the Supreme Court may open up)."
Voters were more concerned with 'moral issues' -- preventing gays from marrying -- than slaughter for oil. And those propping up this evil regime -- blue collar Midwest conservatives -- are those the most shafted: no healthcare, no education, outsourced jobs, and their kids are sent to die in Iraq.
I like America and Americans, and San Francisco is a lovely town. But the streets are full of beggars, the highways are covered in trash and kids are armed with guns. America's rotten to the core.

Make Me the CEO
"FAO Schwarz aims high in its upcoming catalog - Sep. 9, 2004: "'And probably the most significant difference is that we do not carry the products carried in mass-market stores, the major toy brands,' Richmond was quoted as saying. 'It is a new strategy. Our position is about things that are really spectacular and unique that you wouldn't find anyplace else.'"

Hillbilly Whack! Review at Download.com
"This program's humorous subject matter amuses us much more than its simple gameplay does. In this backwoods adventure, you must rescue your beloved from the hands of the evil Clem McSnide, by performing a number of tasks while avoiding your foes. For example, in the first story, you must rebuild your shack while avoiding enemy henchmen. If you get hurt, you can punch-out mules and pigs to reinvigorate yourself. Hillbilly Whack isn't particularly challenging, as we managed to complete the trial version's three levels without expending much effort. We were just as disappointed with the game's crude, blocky graphics, as we were with its virtually nonexistent feature set. We would have at least liked the ability to mute the sound. Although it's good for a quick laugh, Hillbilly Whack probably won't be an engrossing option for anyone but younger children."
Heh - we'll take it. It's nice to get 3 out of 5 for your first title. On reviewing the review, the next version will have loads more gameplay elements, and yes you'll even get to mute the sound. It's amazing me to me that people don't often get the "blocky graphics" and miss the Classic Gaming angle. Expect the game to be a bit more challenging in Hillbilly Whack! Zombie Attack! as well.
Overall - getting the game out, having people in general really like it, and hitting the mark with the humor - we are really happy. Oh yeah - and 125,000 downloads can't be that bad right?

Flying Shirttails, the New Pennants of Rebellion
"The New York Times > Fashion & Style > Flying Shirttails, the New Pennants of Rebellion: "Draped over khakis or jeans or expensive dress pants, the tails-out look appears to be the default for a generation still searching for a middle ground between the traditional coat-and-tie uniform for the workplace and the Internet-era alternative of outfits best suited for mowing the lawn. And, although retailers insist that the style is pitched mainly toward the young, the trend has obvious benefits for male Baby Boomers forced to confront, conceal and, if possible, flatter what an advertisement for women's undergarments used to term 'midriff bulge.'"

Singer Confirmed for 'Superman'
"Variety has confirmed that director Bryan Singer has taken on the challenge of directing the long-in-development 'Superman' film for Warner Brothers. He will create a script with X2 writers Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris. The film is expected to start production late this year in Australia. The current budget is set at $200 million. 'My interest in Superman dates back many, many years,' Singer said. 'In fact, it was the Richard Donner classic film that was my day-to-day inspiration in shaping the X-Men universe for the screen. I feel that Superman has been late in his return and it is time for him to fly again.'"

Laid off from his job at a company building websites for packaged goods companies at the end of January, he considered taking a few months off. If the layoff notice had come this spring, he might have taken the whole summer off. But he saw what could happen if he went that route."
