Getting our creatinating flowing.


For Christmas Becky and I got a video game called Little Big Planet 2. For those not versed in the video game world this is a game where you can not only play level but make levels. They include tools where people can make some of the most incredible stuff I've seen in video games. We decided to try our hand at making something.


Becky sat through all the tutorials and I thought a simple music based level would be good for our first attempt. She worked for hours coding in John Schmidt's Waterfall, one of her favorite piano pieces. Out of what she plays it is one of mine as well. I thought it would stop there but she also decided to make a huge platforming level so the player can run though and have the song end when they hit the end. We then took an hour decorating it and learning more nuances in level building. It was fun.

if you have Little Big Planet 2 feel free to try out the level and give us feedback. Everyone else... run out and buy it. It's amazing. Here is the link:

Jimmer what? Jimmer who? Switcha flow getcha dough.


Jimmer Fredette, the new BYU basketball sensation is sweeping the nation. This has led to lots of people using his name in common speech. SDSU got jimmered! Inspired by my cousin's disdain for nouns turning into verbs I decided to figure out even more ways to include jimmer into normal speech. Jimmer it in there so to speak.


You got jimmered

I jimmered in my pants

Getting my jimmer on

Don't jimmer with my stuff

Jim jimmery, jim jimmery, jim, jim, jery

It's jimmer time

Quit your jimmer jamming

Shoot and fredette it

Fredette yo' neck

Unfredettable

Fredetaboutit


OK, I snuck some Fredettitudes in there but who cares? BYU might actually get out of the first round this year. That would be jimmerific!





What we do for fun


So the best part about Little Big Planet 2? The clothes...

Being accident prone is apparently quite contagious

Not sure how many people know (I guess I forgot to tell my family at least) but I just went through knee surgery a week ago. Things went well and it turned out to be just an arthroscopic surgery and not a full ACL reconstruction like I've had in the past. The pain is there but much less than my past surgeries so I've been quickly recovering and trying to get back into real life again. For some reason my wife won't let me play basketball this weekend though.


Becky unfortunately has also come down with some sort of knee injury. The pain is near unbearable recently and she's been having trouble walking. At church we look like a pair of cripples hobbling along trying to support each other even though we both are limping. The weird thing is she has no swelling, inflammation, redness, bruising, cuts, or anything normally associated with joint injury. We can't figure out what she did to hurt it and have no idea what it is. We see the doctor on Thursday but my suspicion is she caught it from me.

Zombie Haiku

As promised the first zombie haiku of the new year. Originally I thought this book was just a bunch of random poems. I was wrong. Apparently it is a journal of sorts chronicling the end of days for the world and in particular the author. The cheesy backstory is the author is a poet of sorts yet he chooses haiku as his form. I thought real poets abhorred haikus? Aren't they like only for children and teenagers looking for straight D's on their English projects? I would share these in the order they occur in the book but that would take years and probably would be too much plagiarism. Instead I will read through, give some background and share snippets. Let's start at the beginning though. This man is starting his descent into madness and early on starts out with one of his most touching haikus.


Brains, brains, brains, brains, brains.
Brains, brains, brains, brains, brains, brains, brains.
Brains, brains, brains, brains, brains.

Apparently zombies like brains.

Resolutions

It's that time of year again. The time we all decide to better ourselves and make a list of things we are going to do in the upcoming year. Normally I don't set resolutions. Just don't see the point to it. I'll just forget what they were and get disappointed around February when I fail everything. This year however I do have one resolution to set. MOAR ZOMBIIIIESSS! My cousin bought me some zombie books last year so I could continue the monthly zombie posts. It's about time to start using them. Starting January I will be posting zombie stuff every month. The best part? It's zombie poetry! It doesn't get much better than that. Let's see if this will be a resolution I keep.

HaxXors!

For those of you that didn't see my Facebook on this already Gawker and all of their sites were hacked.


For those that don't know Gawker runs the following sites; Kotaku, Gawker, Deadspin, Jezebel, i09, Jalopnik, Fleshbot, Gizmodo, and LifeHacker. Almost all of Gawkers login information was compromised and released on bittorrent. If you had a login for any of those sites this means if you use the same login here or anywhere else on the web thousands of people now have your password. Change any account with that password and avoid using a shared password on any Gawker site until everything is settled and they fix their security. Some people are already reporting their email accounts and other accounts being compromised and sending out tons of spam etc.... There is a list of all compromised accounts out on Google Docs if you want to verify.

Otherwise just be safe and make sure you always use strong passwords and don't share password for super important sites like your bank or anywhere with your credit card info. An article with a lot more in depth information can be found here.

歡迎光臨

Don't let the nice design and layout fool you. this is a crazy place where I write all kinds of crazy stuff. Well technically not crazy but everyone else had a blog so I wanted one too. This was what resulted from it. See my first post ever for the full details.
