Halo Wars on the Xbox 360
Friday, September 29, 2006Wow, very cool stuff. Another fun example of how little Microsoft employees know about Microsoft products (I learned about this game from gamespot!) but still, very exciting. Another RTS for the 360 too; I'm playing Battle for Middle Earth now so I'm looking forward to the idea of a second RTS to play from my couch! More details on Halo Wars, including trailers, available here. [read more...]Filed under | 0 comments »Share this -
Have you created an Avatar on Gravatar?
Thursday, September 28, 2006Some people have great ideas, like Tom Werner's Gravatar (Globally Recognized Avatar) site... a single place on the web to upload an avatar that any blog software can then retrieve using a fairly easily constructed URL. Neat stuff, I think I'll add it to my site. [read more...]Share this -

Categories vs. Tags in Blogs and Blog Editors
Wednesday, September 27, 2006I've been pondering categories vs. tags in blogs, in my sites (such as http://on10.net) we've completely done away with the concept of categories as distinct entities from tags, which works fine on the site but is causing me a bit of a headache when I look at blog editing and blog editing APIs. I've enabled the metaweblogapi on my sites so that standard blog editing tools like performancing, windows live writer, etc... can be used by our staff to post entries, and I've used the 'categories' area of that API to represent tags. This has caused me two issues: [read more...]Filed under | 6 comments »Share this -
New favorite Xbox desktop wallpaper
Tuesday, September 26, 2006I went over to 360Style.net today to find that it has been totally redesigned... same great content, much easier to find your way around. While I was there I picked up a new background for my Vista box. The wallpapers that ship with Vista are beautiful, but they can't compare with this...

I giggle in an embarassing fashion
Monday, September 25, 2006Which isn't a big deal, but it is amazing to me that the same comic can sometimes make me produce some form of giggle/snort/outburst every single time I see it. After viewing this comic once, I was going back and forth between browsers and it ended up coming up a few different times. Maybe four times. I laughed every time. On a related note, these two comics produce the same effect... especially when viewed together. [read more...]Filed under | 0 comments »Share this -
Alfred Thompson discusses "Laptops in the classroom"
Monday, September 18, 2006In a recent post on Microsoft 10, Alfred talks about the idea and controversy around having students equipped with laptops. Check out his post for the full details, but to summarize... it can work well, but it has to be done right, with the right software and teachers... I agree with Alfred on this, but I also think it isn't that big of a surprise. This same concept applies in just about everything whether it is software engineering, fitness or even lawn care. The same technology or plan can succeed or fail because of some aspect of the implementation. The [read more...]Filed under | 0 comments »Share this -
