Free Time

Since I’ve got loads of free time all of a sudden, I’ve been looking around the web. I found two really nice videos.

I found a really cool music video for the song, “When I Wake Up,” by Wintergreen. I think the coolest part about the video is that they actually went to dig up the games that Atari buried in a landfill way back in like the 80s. At least I think they did. I have a soft spot for retro games and such. The song is also beyond cool.

I also found a really nice video of a guy named Jake (judging from the URL) playing, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” on the ukulele. I need to get one of those things. They sound really nice.

Just Another Sunday

Photo Booth

Today, I went to the Apple Store with Rasidul and Sudman. It was pretty fun. We checked out the new iMacs and took Photo Booth for a test drive. It’s pretty cool. Something that’s good for when you have parties and such. You can just fire up your computer and let people take photos. Sudman and I took a really funny one, but we didn’t remember to post it to Flickr.

Sudman got a bunch of iPod nano Tubes for him and his sister. Sudman also blogged from the store. I wish he kept the browser open to his blog. I remember doing that way-back-when I used the old ‘zikken’ subdomain on Blog*Spot. I don’t think I had any readers back then. I just left one of the Macs subscribed to my feed. I also left a videoblog post on one of the (video) iPods.

Relatively Unrelated Things

I’ve found out a few things in the past few days. As the title suggests, they are relatively unrelated.

  • My LC-A should ship by Monday, if not, I won’t even bother complain since I want the camera too badly. I’ve been wanting to get a “lomography” camera since more than a year ago.
  • I found my Game Boy Color.
  • I am hooked on playing Donkey Kong Land on my Game Boy Color. The color looks horrible on the Game Boy Advance.
  • You should never blow into your game paks. This might be what you were taught to do to your non-working games as a kid, but this just makes it worse since the metal connectors get corroded from the water vapor in your breath. Just take a cotton swab and swipe it a few times along the connectors in the game pak.

Well, I guess some of those were related to each other. It’s just that I rarely plan out my posts.

Games to Get

Nintendo!

I really want a game for my Nintendo. I’ve never played with it. I guess that’s because I never got the chance to get games for it.

Since my mom is pretty happy that I finally went back to getting 90+ averages, she says she’ll get me some games.

My first choice is definitely that 3-in-1 I was talking about. I also want to get some other games, since you can get them for cheap on eBay. Maybe Legend of Zelda. Do you guys have any suggestions to make?

Weapon of Choice



My PDA, originally uploaded by cafenut.

This is my weapon of choice for NaNoWriMo. I wanted to use it last year, but was too lazy to find batteries. I hope my English teacher lets me use it if we work on our novels on computers.
