Our good friend Jill (I would link to her blog but she DOESN’T HAVE ONE) sent me this link to carve your own pumpkin. It’s kind of fun. Too bad there isn’t some kindof export tool to save the image you come up with. Have a good time with this one.
Hey, I finally got a “Wordpress.com” blog. It is http://arandomact.wordpress.com. Nothing exciting going on there. I think I’m just going to put observations about wordpress there. The Wordpress.com interface is pretty cool.. it is a little different then the vanilla install of wordpress.org. I haven’t figured out how to put my own themes in there yet. But I would be surprised if it wasn’t possible.
Anyway.. just thought I would let you know. Check it out from time to time. Maybe it will get interesting.

Josh > So you have determined that it is Microsofts servers and not yours?
xxxxxxx > Yes, it’s been a Microsoft issue. They are blocking email from all Comcast customers unfortunately.
xxxxxxx > Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Did you have any other questionst at this time?
Josh > Is this on purpose? I only ask, because if so.. I would like to contact Microsoft
Josh > I just want to figure out where to take my frustrations
xxxxxxx > As far as we’ve been told it’s not being done on purpose.

The topic of Lost is starting to heat up with everyone coming up with there own theories as to what is going on. Jon over at chuggnutt.com just wrote a long post about what makes of what is going on in the show. From what I read, some of his ideas seem to make a lot of sense.
Its been a while since a show has captured my attention like this one. It makes you think. I find myself trying to come up with my own theories of whats happening. Is the island some big social experiment? Why was there a quarantine sticker on the inside of the hatch door? What are your theories?

Well, time to dust off my Java skills. I was asked today to start working on a project here at work that will utilize a language that I haven’t touched in almost 3 years. But its Java, how hard can it be? It should be rather fun (I’m such a geek) to use Java again. Its the programming language that I learned in college at Western Oregon University but it has evolved quite a bit since then.
So we’ll see if I can hack it. I’ve been working with C# a lot lately and Java isn’t to far different. Wish me luck!

That should just about cover it. Thanks to Witty Fish for the list.
I just got done reading an article about how Peter Jackson has just been hired to produce the movie Halo which is based on Microsoft’s extremely popular game of the same name. In that same article I found out that another movie, Doom, is being released later this year. That got us thinking here in the office. Has there ever been a Movie based on a Video game that was GOOD? What are your thoughts on this? Below, I’ve compiled a list of movies based on games, let me know if I’m missing any. I’m struggling to find any that were great to watch.

Well you may or may not care about where I’ve been spending my time lately, but I thought I would let everyone know anyway. Pat and I have started up another website. This one is definitely a ‘niche’ sort of thing since it pertains to the game that we spend much of our free time on. So I’ve been working on getting that all prettied up for prime time which is reason for some of my neglect here. Sorry ’bout that. Seems like I post alot about not posting. Maybe I should post about that. Hmmm.
Anyway.. I’ll see if I can’t rustle up some pertinent content here soon. But then, what is pertinent? Well that is the beauty of being the author, I get to decide.
