Treehouse

It has always been true that I would have a tree house. But I'm a grownup now, and a responsible married man to boot. So some changes had to be made:

Computers Everywhere!

I really like my most recent toys, a G1, and a Netbook. But they aren't nearly as mod-able as my desktop. Maybe I can make a pico-itx netbook in a custom case. - Not this year though. Maybe I should just buy a Sager, at least it can be upgraded in all sorts of intresting ways. - Really I'm just annoyed that the EEE PC 1000 uses a special interface to it primary storage, so I can't upgrade with standard parts. The improvements being made to solid state storage are amazing! I simply adore the SSD that I bought for my desktop; it's so QUICK!

Area51 Haloween Party

I have definitly entered the 21st century - finally! I'm posting a blog at a dance club on a device that can fit in my pocket and will play doom.
Pictures to follow....

Meow.

Return to a previous plan.

Ok, on the weekend of October the 24th I'll be going to Steam-Con in Seattle; not winning lots of money at a LAN party.

This KXCD comic has a surprise ending, kind of sad or possibly bittersweet. I recommend it.

Retro?

So does Starcraft count as retro gaming yet?

There is a Starcraft tournament at the Protocol42 LAN Party on October 24. Seeing how popular this game is for tournaments I get the feeling that no matter how much I practice between now and then I still won't have a chance. But it's worth a try for a cash prize. So I'll be playing a lot of Starcraft! If you want to join me for a match it might be best to try to give me a call..

Damage Controll

Anyone know anyone that wants a GTX 285 cheap?

If I can sell it for most of what I bought it for; then I can get the brand new ATI card that I _really_ want.
