Only two more weeks and my time here in Seattle will be over. Wednesday is Beta ship day so that ought to be interesting. All nighter sort of interesting. I am continuing to work on my BizTalk course and studying for my first certification exam. I would say that the BizTalk course is far more entertaining and worthwhile than the certification studying is.These certifications are so bogus.

Is Twilight Princess heading towards the Nintendo Revolution? My vote is yes.With Zelda officially delayed until Q4 now, signs are pointing more and more to Zelda launching with the Revolution. But wait you say, Nintendo has repeatedly stated that Zelda would be a GCN game, that they owe it to their fans. Well, what if it is both. Nintendo has stated that GCN games played on the system will

Software is revolutionary because of its mutability. To resist software change is to deny its fundamental strength.You can roll that one up and smoke it.

Oh how easy it is to neglect your blog. I guess I can start from the top or something.On February 16 I officialy finished the training program I was on, and let me tell you what a kick ass program it was. There was a group of 27 of us of which we were split into teams between four and six members. We then were given a mock customer from which we had to gather requirements and then implement a

Being in a town that ends up being on the losing side of the greatest game ever played is more depressing than I had anticiapted...

If I had to think of two colors to describe Seattle, that would be it. Gray skies meet an evergreen forest.The flight over here was very smooth. One of the smoothest I've been on in a long time. I'll be flying American alot. In fact, I have four round trip flights to seattle booked between now and March 31. As a result of this, I issued a Gold Elite challenge, which means that if I get 5000

Did you know that .NET 2.0 supports anonymous delegates? What this means is say you have a function that takes a delegate as an argument. Well now you can do this:SomeFunc(2,3, delegate() {Console.WriteLine("Anonymously pass code anywhere!");} )Now that is some cool stuff.

Apparently a marketing firm was doing some research for Nintendo regarding the virtual console functionality. You can read about it here.

Well, it's been a while since I posted anything. Quite a few items of signifigance have happened since then, so let me enumerate a few.1. ChristmasGood stuff. Got some cool presents. Mostly stuff I actually wanted too. I got an awesome surround sound system (Onkyo 7.1), a nice coat, a cool brief case, some dvds, and some sorely needed clothes that lie on the business casual spectrum of

M. Night Shyamalan can kiss my ass. Why? Let's look at his filmography.1. The Sixth Sense - Decent Movie, pretty good twist2. M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable - watchable, terrible plot twist3. M. Night Shyamalan's Signs - stupid pseudo-religious crap4. M. Night Shyamalan's The Village - dumb dumb dumb and predictable5. M. Night Shyamalan's pretentious looking movie about some modern day fairy

In the coming days, I will be doing a collection of posts about things that really piss me off. Today, it is facebook. Well, not facebook in particular. Facebook is a wonderful tool that allows people to stay in touch with those friends they have made throughout school. When my dad was in school, the only way to maintain contact over distance was either by writing, or by long distance phone

So I graduated on Friday. It's finally over. Interestingly enough, my last semester turned out to be my best grade wise. I had a 3.5 for the semester. The ceremony was very nice but I feel I twinge of sadness leaving College Station. That place was my home for four and half years. However, I am also anxiously awaiting beginning my job, and more importantly receiving substantial paychecks."

The following jokes were found on popsicle sticks that I am currently eating.What is a cows favorite song?Home on the Range.What did the hockey player give the thief when he robbed him?A check.What has a trunk and wheels, but no engine?An elephant on rollerblades.What is the most musical bone?A trombone.And my personal favorite, and I'm quoting this.Why did the boy stick a hose in his friend's

"Samuel L. Jackson stars in the intense action feature "Snakes on a Plane" from director David Ellis ("Final Destination 2," "Cellular"). Jackson plays an FBI agent who is escorting a witness on a flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles when an assassin releases hundreds of deadly snakes on a commercial airplane in order to eliminate the witness. The FBI agent, along with a rookie pilot, frightened

So now that I am out of work and out of school, I have plenty of free time to kill. I think I was 12 and playing Final Fantasy III the last time I had this much free time. Of course, this all ends for me on January 11. With Avanade I will possibly be busier than I have ever been and I am thrilled at the prospect of it.The party on December 3rd was a little bumpy. We bought too much beer and not
