XBox Project Natal
Microsoft announced their “Project Natal” at the E3 Expo this year. It’s a concept for future products, but if they can pull off what they hope to pull off…..wow.
Basically, it’s a video gaming system, on the Xbox 360
platform that utilizes no controllers other than your own physical body. There is a sensor [...]
Saturday iTunes v10.0
So I’m doing this “Saturday iTunes” entry much later than I normally do… if I do it at all. In fact, it’s so late that it’s almost Sunday as I’m typing this.
Anyway. Today was a good day. I woke up and finished editing down a video that I’ve been working on. [...]
Saturday iTunes v9.0
I’m sitting here with my Bigelow French Vanilla tea (my favorite… so good) as my brother and Romulo play Rock Band 2 across the room. An unnamed bassist (not related to me) keeps losing on System of a Down’s B.Y.O.B. I keep getting asked to come fill in to pass the song, but [...]
Saturday iTunes v8.0
It’s back! After a short hiatus (of about 8 months) I’m going to try to keep up with posting Saturday iTunes every week. This Saturday has been a slow one. I’ve mostly been working on the computer, editing photos, and enjoying some nice french vanilla tea (so good). It’s snowing out, [...]
Jose is not the Guitar Hero
Not quite Metallica, or Jose is not the Guitar Hero from William Hartz on Vimeo.
Most people post videos of when they destroy songs in Rock Band or Guitar Hero a la this guy.
Anyway, we find it much funnier to show how awful we are at stuff, and when Jose was trying to play Metallica’s Ride [...]
Next Gen Gaming
So I’m not really what you would call a “gamer. I have a PS2 and Gamecube, and I bought both well after they were released. In fact, I didn’t buy the Gamecube until after the Wii was on sale. I have a few games that I like, and I’ll get into little [...]
Spore
So I downloaded a free trial of the yet-to-be-released game, Spore. It comes out September 07, 2008.
Spore is a game in which you start out with a single-celled organism floating around in the vast ocean of the world they find themselves in. You only see the world on a microscopic level. And [...]
Text of the (quasi)Day, vol 10
Via SMS, from Maria:
Me: What is up, my gangsta friend from Camden?
Maria: Haha chilling, selling drugs.
Me: I figured you’d be up to something like that.
To try to get one of your comments posted here, text (if you have my number), Skype (whartz), IM (wmhartz) or Twitter me something witty and amusing.
iTunes Saturday v7.0
Greetings fellow audiophiles! It’s Saturday… at least it will be for another 30 minutes or so. That means it’s time for another exciting rendition of iTunes Saturday, where you get to peer into the musical listenings of me, myself, and I. As always, here are the rules. (1) You put [...]
Text of the (quasi)Day, Vol 9
It’s been awhile, but here comes another TOTQD. For some reason, this made me “LOL” for real. Probably because it’s so true.
Via G-Talk, from Aiko:
“and as you know, Japanese body is different from westerners. so our body isnt made for lots of butter or bread or cheese.”
To try to get one of your [...]
