"8 Days A Week"

"If coincidences are just coincidences, why do they feel so contrived?" - Fox Mulder (X-Files)

Welcome to Thursday's blog. Thursday is one of my favorite days. It is close to the end of the week! Here are some links you might find interesting:

• In the blog world it appears that Lions Gate Directors have a blog now. Lions Gate has one particular director any X-files fan will remember.
• Microsoft now has a service that allows you to download TV shows. MSN Video Downloads is their new paid service which allows you download sports, etc. Pretty cool if you can get TV shows. Although, it is hard to imagine watching it on my cell phone.
• This is an older article about DNA computation. The thought is just well - wow. Here is the current state of technology. (Ain't that just so cool?)
• This article I thought was very funny. I guess "mini" just isn't descriptive enough.
• By the way, "Get Furry" your laptop. Someone really did post instructions. No really I am not kidding. However, I wish I was.

You know your game is actually being used when you see references to it on message boards. CODENAME: Monkey-Bots (CMB) is really a game I worked on with two other people for my senior design project. Of course, Justin thought I had lost my mind when I suggested that we take this on as our project. Then about a month in to the project he was convinced I was a complete looney when we had little working code to show of our efforts. By the end of the semester we has a working multiplayer game (although you need multiple cartriges to play multiplayer) and it was really cool to see all the hard work and effort. Alright, I think that is enough self promotion for now. If you haven't checked out CMB you really, really should.

Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog. Have a great weekend.
