Acceleration
Wow, what a turn of events. Suddenly it appears that there are two seperate yet equally interesting employment opportunities presenting themselves. One is a very good, solid job that will provide my family the stability that I've desperately needed these past few months, and the other will potentially move me across the country and into what could probably only called a Dream Job and will probably not work out because I'm just not that lucky.
But goddammit, a guy can dream can't he?
What does it do? Well, while I'm dickteasing like no other, let's break it down: There's IT stuff, there's game testing, there's game design, and there's game community work. It's like take me and all of my well-rounded skills and stick a salary on it. That's the fuckin job. Needless to say with both of them coming to a head I'm getting a little anxious about em. I should have some interesting news later.
Onto other topics: I'm so fascinated with podcasting it hurts. What I would really like to do is podcast some Star Chamber stuff, along with my own little show. As a kid I too was fascinated with radio (you know, back before MTV basically took over youth's every waking moment with glossy reality programs) and DJ's. But in this age, as it were, we're soon to find that real DJs, the kind that must entertain and actually think, are podcasting.
So speaking of DJs and podcasting, the grand poohbah of podcasters, the creator/visionary Adam Curry, hosts his Daily Source Code and it is absolutely necessary listening for anyone wondering what I'm speaking of. Some other shows such as anything on the brilliant ITConversations.com should be heard as well. I'm listening to the latest Source Code now. The guy who entertained me so much on MTV in the 80's (yes, when videos were actually played) entertains me now and is about 1,000x the geek I never thought he could be.
On a final note, MTGO can be so damn evil. I'm a hard-core drafter at heart, with my new love being Rochester. These days if you see me online in MTGO, I'll be in the auction room selling whatever I just drafted (so I can do it again), or, well, drafting. My wife on the other hand hates MTGO. In her eyes it seems to take money and literally give it directly to Satan with little or no interference between computerized bits and dark, red palms that ooze the hatred of the world.
Me? I'm still reeling from install Firefox 1.0. There's this great thing about using things that are in beta and/or uncomplete state: When you get them working just so, there is a new and spiffier version (and/or official as this update is), and me being the geek I am, feel it necessary to take the time and install and use this version. Therefore I downloaded and installed 1.0, tried to overwrite my existing install, at which point my computer took a large shit over all of my previous settings, bookmarks, and extensions. Say hello to a few hours of work trying to remember passwords I forgot eons ago, along with whatever goofy-ass bookmarks I relied and and promptly forgot about until they were suddenly missing, like my mind after an all-nighter.
So I must make this request to the powers that be: Dear Universe: Don't make me ever upgrade or update Firefox ever again. Hugs and kisses, me.
