A new catch phrase for Java

Friday, August 15th, 2008

After working with Java for years and years, I’ve realized the problem with the whole thing. It’s the catch phrase! Java just doesn’t sound like something I want to use. It definitely needs some help from marketing. I’ve thought long and hard about it and have finally come to a decision on the matter. Without further ado, I give you the new Java marketing campaign!

Java … because you didn’t need that memory anyway!

If corporations made stop signs

This is awesome. Being a consultant for a major software company, I get requests like this all the time. Lots of people in the meetings that have NO IDEA what they actually need, nor do they belong in the meeting anyway. Anyway, on to the video… enjoy.

Recently Viewed Movies

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

I’ve recently watched the following movies…

After watching all of these movies, I only have one thing to say… Jessica Biel is hot. :D Most of the movies suck in one way or another, but yeah, she’s hot.

Commenting on articles and blogs.

Monday, April 7th, 2008

If your comment starts with “So, I was watching Star Wars Episode III last night…”, just stop and cancel the comment. (You should also disconnect yourself from my internet, but that’s another story.) We don’t want to hear your comparison of the article to the relationship between Han Solo and his Wookie. No really, it’s not that clever. We don’t care. Please… stop.

Too funny. I couldn’t resist the temptation to post this one.

If Valentines Day cards were honest…

Say no to Scurvy

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Freakin’ Woot man! They’re trying to break me! Gotta love the pirate shirts. First there was this one, and now…

Say no to Scurvy

Sleep is irrelevant, Work is irrelevant, there is only Portal.

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

What did I do before Portal? How did I survive? Why am I at work when I should be playing Portal? I wonder if I can get away with playing Portal at work? Questions like these are in your immediate future once you purchase the Orange Box.

I recently bought the Orange Box from Valve to get Team Fortress 2. One of the crew who’s playing TF2 got me started playing “Portal”, a game that comes with the Orange Box but definitely did not get the hype that TF2 did.

Imagine, you’re in a “training center” with a sadistic computer that needs your help “testing” a new weapons system. Too bad that some of the “tests” can be fatal if you’re not careful. Take that concept, toss in the gravity gun from HL2 and multiply it by the ability to throw portals, toss in a physics engine and you’re at pure hysteria. That’s Portal. Slow at first but once you throw a portal on a wall and then another down the the bottom of a pit and then jump in, you’ll be hooked. You’ll have to take my word for it, but wow… just wait. The HL2 physics engine really shines in this one.

So here it is, your official ID.com bullet list for this game.

  • If you have Orange Box and haven’t played Portal then you need to stop reading this blog and play Portal.
  • If you have Orange Box and have played Portal, then you’re not reading this because you’re playing Portal and officially have no life now.
  • If you don’t have Orange Box and need a reason to get it. Portal.

Finally! A rating for me!

I was being full of myself earlier and browsing the web when I came across this…

Even more stunning!

All these years and somebody finally made a rating for me. :-D

Don’t fear the Penguin, unless he’s a pirate!

In accordance with my conversion from ninja to pirate, I got a new T-shirt that says it all. Thanks go to the guys at shirt.woot.com for a cool t-shirt and especially to House for sending me a link. Now i’m *really* geeky. (Like I needed any help in this area anyway)

Here is a link to the shirt and the picture is below.
