WHOA! Bear Hugger, from Punch Out is from the small town where I grew up, Salmon Arm, BC, Canada. http://ping.fm/PANnF

Keeping indoors, reading, playing games and listening to music. It's like I'm on autopilot since I'm the only one home.

Looks like we're going to have a repeat of last night's strange weather. Uzumaki over my house.

Hooowow. It's hot out. Taking the bike out to help cool down.

Chickening out. I'll just stink. Quite the storm going on outside (for the last 3 hours)

Going to brave the lightning because I need a shower. The clouds seem high enough anyway and the thunder is quite delayed #famouslastwords

Harvesting ADAM from Little Sisters. The time is about right for a second playthrough of BioShock. Evil this time.

Browsing through "Comic Con" photos on Flickr, wishing I could filter out all the Twilight cast.

Ash is starting to settle here in Vernon. Not the demon slaying ash, but the other kind.

Watching Ninjas rock *HARD* on guitars. http://ping.fm/q1ch3 Totally wicked. And awesome. And Ninja. All of those.

Heck, yes! Another season of Hell's Kitchen starts tonight. Oh, Gordon, you are dee-lite-ful http://ping.fm/wdDOT

Peter Sjöstrand's Mega Man 2.5D site has gone live. This is worth checking out! http://ping.fm/P8rA4

Today "The Vector" is released upon the world. http://ping.fm/lUsnO Don't miss out on the karate, guns and bio-hackery. ThumbsUp++

Watching my 3 favorite Nerd-Artists on stage *at the same time* http://ping.fm/f2zAf @mc_frontalot @beefyness @mc_lars

Just freaked out my Chihuahua by walking out of a darkened room while wearing camo pants. He was focusing on the camo pants.

Watching Vernon become engulfed in smoke while the Kelowna forest fire burns. http://castanet.net/

I've got an additional 3 Heroes of Newerth (DoTA) beta invitations. Friends or strangers, Windows, Mac or Linux, you are welcome. Just ask.

Today's 50 word story, an exercise in recursion? http://ping.fm/qH6zP

There's no valve on this keg of Creative Juice. I can't stop the flow! http://ping.fm/42QlS

Still looking for work. The ThinkGeek job (Perl-code-monkey) would be sweet, but I'm still just a Perl-Chimp.

w00t w00t! The last of my order, "The Undead and Philosophy: Chicken Soup for the Soulless" just arrived at my door.

Creative Juices, day 2, starts with an anniversary. http://ping.fm/yfBPV

Making slow but steady progress with Generic 2D Platformer. That's what I get for letting my java programming skills slip for two years.

w00t! Two books from my latest order have arrived. Clive Barkers "Mister B. Gone" and the collection of short stories "The Living Dead".

More juicy creativeness. Picture: http://ping.fm/GHxlT and Haiku: http://ping.fm/h6OMs

The creativity begins. Fries With That: http://ping.fm/H4h4s

Waiting on the "Intel Swag Bag" from GameDev.net to arrive. In the meantime, development of G2DP continues.

Home, Sweet Home. Showering and getting to sleep.

Happy Free Slurpee Day, everyone!

Trying to come up with an original premise for why a hero should enter a series of worlds to kill off a big bad guy.

Back home from Medieval Times. Great show. Definitely recommended.

Heading out to Medieval Times for dinner and a show.

Tonight's activity: 3 Royal Seats at Medieval Times restaurant. This is going to be awesome!

"It's a dry heat" is not what you'd expect to hear in Georgia. Especially from a GA native. It's wet here. Humid.

Back on solid ground after 40 minutes flying in a 4-seater Cherokee Warrior 151 with my Dad.

w00t! I just ordered these books -> Undead and Philosophy: Chicken Soup for the Soulless. The Living Dead. Mister B Gone: A Novel.

Back from Six Flags. Relaxing tonight and tomorrow. Had a fun time today.

Heading to Six Flags for a few hours of Roller-Coaster'y fun.

A new, @1889ca approved TorrentBoy story is available! "Pirates Attack!" today! http://ping.fm/F2W4D

Played two rounds of Pink Godzilla Dev Kit. Three hours later my Brother wins one and I pwn him in the other.

Finished a two-hour round of 3 player Killer Bunnies. Played with the Blue, Yellow, Violet and Red decks. My brother won. Now for PGDevKit.

Heading out for our anniversary dinner. I hear most people only get one first wedding anniversary.

One full year of marriage? Check.

Heading out to my old high-school for 4th of July fireworks.

"The Chaos Book" sounds interesting. A collection of stories about an efficiency expert for the supernatural. http://ping.fm/yQo6m

Just got home from Turner Field. Didn't stick around to watch the Braves game, but it was cool being shown around by ex-Braves Brian Jordan.

Trying not to get too far behind on my RSS feeds. Only 42 new articles left to sift through.

Soaking in a caffeine bath. (Not really). Been awake since 7:30am, June 30. Survived 12.5 hours over three flights and layovers. Mmm, coffee

Leaving on a jet plane.

Sitting through my last day of work. I wonder, am I expected to focus? I've heard stories of people indulging on beer on their last day...

I've got 28 candy bars sitting on my dinner table... I'ma eat some.

One of these days I should reply to a "You're the winner of Lottery". I could have helped my whole family tree retire by now.

Another minor milestone met for Generic 2D Platformer. Heading to bed where I'll no-doubt be dreaming of stick-men and red dots.

Preparing for my trip. Spending almost two weeks with family in Georgia. Best way to start July :)

Listening to Rhyme Torrents Volume 7 while I write Perl.

Moving a futon from one room to another (for the second time). Note to self: Yes, you need to take it apart to move it.

Having my butt handed to me on a crystal skull in Spelunky. Great game. http://ping.fm/qR38d

Blowing up balloons for our company's farewell party/bbq.

Playing "How to Raise a Dragon". http://ping.fm/rMiTO

Whoa! Whoa! One does not simply purchase id Software. How can one purchase id Software? What? And a BioWare/Mythic merger? World upside-down

Learning the *stuffing* out of Slick and its conventions. July and August are looking to be great months.

Feeling the urge to rework http://n3wt0n.com Thinking of transitioning from Wordpress to Drupal.

Just printed off MakeUseOf's "The Productivity Guide: For A Computer Geek". I'm productive today! http://ping.fm/K29sL

Bobbing my head to RhymeTorrents Volume VII. Setting down for a couple hours of programming.

Chapter 8 of Fission Chips takes an interesting turn... Gare, the main character, doesn't know when to shut up http://ping.fm/2mkvj

Just got back from a Sunday afternoon with my Dad. Walked around a car show looking at classics, then had lunch at a pub. Happy Father's Day

Headphones, engage! >_< This just in, MCFrontalot fronts the most, 24/7. Me? I'm zoning out so I can refocus.

Tearing things back down to basics. Generic2DPlatformer gets a redesign, code-wise.

A can of Old Milwaukee in one hand, a bag of licorice in the other, a movie on the TV and my wife in my lap. What it is to be married.

Hrm... Will be so close to Nerdapalooza but my trip ends the day after Nerdapalooza begins.

My summer vacation is getting extended... indefinitely. Company lost contract, now lacking funds. Thank Canada for Employment Insurance.

I don't know how I missed this, but Intel has a Game Development contest under way. http://ping.fm/UiSu6

Done yet another project someone requested of me. Getting a feeling of what freelancing is about. Now if I were to actually charge someone..

Emptied out the staff fridge. Found items as ancient as August 2007. #ancientfood

It's saying something when in the winter you complain when a shower runs cold, but in the summer you complain when it's not cold enough.

Had a great day reading Penny Arcade and watching Star Trek TOS. Maybe tomorrow I'll get some programming done... yes... always tomorrow.

Me: "Hi. How are you?" Them: "Good, how are you" Me: "Great, thanks. How are you?" -- my bad habit :-p

Aha! I found the fix for LWJGL to work with Ubuntu 9.04. Development on Generic 2D Platformer commences.

Watching the main city bus-stop outside my window at work, three police cars roll up and cart some guy away.

I just "finished" Blueberry Garden. It took one "The End" before I had figured it out. Great game.

Showing support for Indie Developers (and artists alike). Just purchased "Blueberry Garden" off Steam. It looks awesome.

Hello, World. I've said this before, and I'll say it again. When I have children, I will read them these stories: http://books.1889.ca/

Looking forward to reading Chapter 7 of Fission Chips tomorrow. http://ping.fm/xoddI Heading to bed in the meantime.

I've just posted the alpha of "Auctioneer" for the MUD #medievia http://ping.fm/y7Ua8

Aha! Back on March 4th I responded to a post for some GitHub stickers! http://ping.fm/WQ2Bl

Just got a couple stickers in the mail (my wife phoned, I haven't seen them yet). I can't remember what they're about. "Delta Stickers"?

Enjoyed reading an article on teaching your children to argue. http://ping.fm/UfRud

Eating a can of beans in molasses. Oh, how I love beans. They are delightful. And the molasses feels good between my toes.

Help me get my name in print :D Read a great story while you're at it. http://1889.ca/9aw

Insured my motorcycle today. Just getting my legs back.

Eating bugs. I mean blueberry yogurt.
