June 27th, 2008My First Spore Creature
I am anxiously awaiting the September 7th release of Spore, a game in which you build, paint, play and share your creature. In the meantime, Spore Creature Creator (a starter kit), will have to suffice. I even made a video of one of my spores. Of course, now I’m even more impatient for the full game to come out!

I think this may be the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen.
June 24th, 2008The Me Mosaic Meme
I saw this on Nick’s Bytes and thought I’d give it a try.

Here’s how it works . . .
• Answer each of the questions below.
• Surf over to Flickr (set up an account if you don’t have one–it’s quick and easy AND I DON’T THINK YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO THIS - SET UP AN ACCOUNT) and type your answers (one at a time) into the search bar.
• From the choice of pictures shown only on the front page, click on the one that moves you.
• Once the page with your picture opens, copy the URL.
• Surf over to the Mosaic Maker, set up your mosaic, and paste your URLs.
• Click “Create!”
The Questions:
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you attend?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. What is your favorite drink?
7. Where would you go on your dream vacation?
8. What is your favorite dessert?
9. What do you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. Choose one word to describe you?
12. Your Flickr name? (Substitute a nickname if you don’t have an account.)

Tomatos with Salmonella…
Spinach with E. coli…
Even cantaloupes have had their battle with Salmonella…
I’m just waiting for the cucumber recall due to Herpes contamination.
Yup. I said it.
June 8th, 2008Pop Snark Hooligan!
Dan’s new blog is finally all moved over to my domain and ready to roll. Now all he needs to do is post something! Check it out and give him a nudge: Pop Snark Hooligan!
June 6th, 2008Map Out Your Future, But do it in Pencil
Update: I actually prepared this post on Wednesday night, and for some reason I forgot to hit ‘Publish’.
Instead of uploading a butt-load of photos that always seem to take forever to load anyway, I thought I would just make videos from now on. It’s actually a little less tedious than uploading every individual photo, and it should save you some loading time. Hopefully.
Tomorrow (actually, I guess it’s today, now) we’re heading down to Missoula so Dan can do a little comics shopping and we can do a little geocaching. Oh, and bird toys, Solomon’s stock is running low and there’s just no selection here in Kalispell. Maybe I’ll even bring back a pinkie or two for the Leopard Gecko.
