Stuff that's rattling around in my head...

...episodes of the Super Mario Brothers cartoons, I used to dream about...and there wasn't a term for it then...a sandbox game where you could build cars and forts out of the pipes, koopa shells, blocks, etc. from the Mario games. A game where you could design your own Koopa ship, like the Koopa Kids had in SMB3. Cartoonish technological clades like those have always intrigued me. I love looking at ...

The passing of a legend

... effects and multi-million dollar budgets to dazzle and amaze. "Thriller" became a mini-movie in itself, with fantastic costuming and makeup. "Billie Jean" featured those totally cool light-up sidewalk blocks -- and who among us hasn't imitated walking down a checkerboard tile floor and wished they lit up? "Black and White" had those beautiful synchronized dance moves and the birth of the ...

It Already Is A Scripting Language

..." the creation of content on a web server, you go right ahead. You can put your "top level" methods in "script" blocks and your "top level" statements in " " blocks and you'll thereby avoid the ritual of having to be explicit about the containers for those code elements. The ASP.NET code automatically reorganizes ...

Decisions, Decisions

...that there are a lot of good reasons for me to be riding my bicycle constantly on the weekends. (Most of these reasons involve me not having air conditioning, but having a lovely 60-degree lake a few blocks away to swim in.) Unfortunately, on my most recent bike ride I discovered, among other things I already knew were wrong, that I basically have no brakes. So, I've resolved to get my bike fixed....

Ghost of a Good Thing - Chapter 5

... week into recording, when they were done for the day and on their way to the nearest bar. "Sure!" She grabbed her bag and joined them. They walked, the nearest bar was very conveniently located just a few blocks away, and they were already well on the way to being drunk, anyway. Allison wasn't quite as drunk yet, but a few beers at the bar were going to fix that, she was sure. They were a ...

It has been two days

Since my last fast food stop. I must say this is really hard. They just opened a new Burger King less than 3 blocks from my house. I love burger king. Its in my top 3 favorite fast food places, and now I don't have to go clear across town for it any more! (insert whine here) I can't believe how many times while I was out yesterday I had to tell myself I did not need to run through the closest McD...

The Trouble with Magic

... the ground. The extremis, he thought, oh - Tony's consciousness was guttering, like a candle in a strong wind. The world around him flickered, as he processed various images, interspersed with blocks of black. The edges of walls grew tiny teeth, and zipped themselves together. Beams and slats of wood interlocked like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, firmed, and formed the roof. His armor clattered to...

Sound of Pulling Heaven Down: Chapter 11 (Part 1)

... the roof of a nearby building, and this one did manage to penetrate the energy field, spearing the Messenger right through its chest.

Fevers

... a bit of jerk, mostly because I don't think he really understood how much help I was going to need. I can't drive anywhere, so when water tasted like vomit and all I wanted was a Sonic Slush from 3 blocks away, I had to wait 5 hours. I've been really feverish (102.7º !) and thus weird and kind of whiney because I never get them. I'm not really eating for the vomit-flavored reason. I need help ...
