Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Feb 13, 2007 6:00pm PSTI'm a bit of an RTS slut and am quite eager for the new C&C 3 demo that will be on FileShack next Tuesday. Hopefully it is not suck. I had a good amount of fun with Generals but not much from the C&C franchise since the original. Red Alert was well done but for some reason didnt grab me like it did most. Oh and that plot line O_o

It seems like it was only a few years ago that tech magazines were predicting apple's demise. I guess it's not really surprising. The pre os x operating systems, in my limited experience, were lame. Very little software available. The hardware was... weird. Who thought those fruity little imac's were cool besides teenage girls? The apple zealots at the time seemed to be all about how Apples' hardware was just categorically better than any wintel compatible stuff. Now of course they're run of the mill intel boxes just like everybody else.
Was it OS X that did it? They seem to really have thrust themselves back into the mainstream.

I think Mass Effect is f***ing amazing. [BioWare has] put a lot of work into the facial animation, and, for me, Mass Effect feels like this kind of a Syd Mead-type, futuristic environment. It feels like the first time I saw “Star Wars†to be honest, and I don’t know why. They take that almost ’80s version of the future, and I buy it hook, line and sinker.
That pretty much sums up how I feel about it.

Meanwhile I'm stuck behind you until you take a turn, and then I can go the proper 45-55 mph.

My suburban street was completely invisible, not one single red brick was discernible through the snow. My office shut down at 12 yesterday, and notified everyone by email that we'd be closed again today as of 10:30 last night. SO yay snowday!
Then the plow came down my street creating a 5 foot long, 3 foot deep barrier of ice and snow at the end of my driveway. It's gonna take HOURS to shovel that out by hand. Maybe we'll stay closed until temps are back in the 40's.

It absolutely stuns me that people that have the money to buy cars like that but don't have the intelligence to understand simple concepts like rear-wheel drive and winter tires.

Been listening to Type O Negatives "Dead Again" (Promo Copy) and I have to say that I love it. I received it yesterday and I have not stopped listening to it since. Type O is one of the few bands that I really get excited about when they release new stuff (last album was "Life is Killing Me" (2003)) and as always they really knocked it out of the park with this one.....I mean, the sound they have is just pure awesome, and with Peter's vocals....it's just hauntingly good.
If I had to pick which was my favorite track (which I couldn't), it would be between "She Burned Me Down" and "Tripping a Blind Man."
Gah, i hope I am able to catch them in concert this year, last time I saw them in 2004 it was an incredible show.

There is a huge crack in my wife's windshield. Geico won't cover it because the crack is larger than a dollar bill. $219 to get it replaced. I wonder what they do with smaller cracks that they make a distinction. Wouldn't you have to replace a crack either way?
I also broke my scraper in half trying to get the quarter inch of ice off my car.
This has been a fun morning.

I noticed that my new Wiimote that came with Wii play has an ever so slightly different battery cover. I would consider it the difference between a matte and a glossy finish. It isn't so much as textured as it is just not smooth.
