When in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

 

An interesting game idea, might be interesting if they can polish the game a bit. There's something about multiplayer time travel that tickles an odd portion of my brain and causes it to seize up and start drooling. I would liken it to when I look at extremely large and complex math formulas for too long, but I think Meredith would get upset at the reference :-P

(P.S. I love you hun!)

(X^2+Y^2-1)^3 = X^2Y^3

Hint: graph it

(Basically this game allows for time travel in an Real Time Strategy game--think Command and Conquer. Watch the videos and be entertained!)

 

If you are interested in the game, you can find the page at:

You would be surprised at what leaks out of my head

 

Well I promised you guys that I was doing some "artistic" stuff with my photos and inspiration hit this morning as I was walking along.

(ok the truth is I was playing with fonts and graphics on my computer, but walking along in the morning sounded much more appropriate for the content :-P  )

Anyway, so I made a poem out of one of my pictures and put it to uh...pixels?

anyway, I've no idea whether it's polished enough for consumption but here ya go.

I hereby release it into the wild, may it find sustenance to live on.

 

(EDIT: You may have to click on the image, the stupid page isn't being nice and letting the blog layout resize to fit the image)

Sad, Informative....and hilarious!

 

Hello Peoples!

Not a lot of time, gotta go out in a sec, but I wanted to share some stuff with ya that I thought was hilarious.

I was tooling around with some graphic forums / websites and I ran across this site that does photoshop tutorials, but in a comical way.

It's hard to explain, so I will let the site show you.

Go Watch the videos!

You Suck at Photoshop

Hello again friends and family.

and for artistic flair, I give you my (hopefully soon to be famous) writing notebook. It contains the secrets to the universe, a cookie recipe, and a drawing of a bridge.

Oh I suppose it contains a few stories in there too, who'd have guessed ^.^

A beautiful arrangement wouldn't say? No? well lemme give you the rest of the scene.

I must say it's a fantastic spot to write. It's quite peaceful . The ocean water laps softly on the bank while visions and dreams drift past in a slow rhythm, just waiting for me to pluck them out of the air and plant them into the soil of the page.

Yes, I do believe I love writing, and I am glad to  have the opportunity.

Stay tuned! I am also working on altering / improving some of the flower pictures for some more artistic flair. We'll see how well it works out ^.^

Till then, Ja mata (See you later)
