I want to talk about online and offline computer games for a sec. Oh, wait, I guess they can all be online, given that Guitar Hero III and Rock Band are console games that connect to the internet, but I digress. I asked Brian to post about GH and I do hope to sponge off him again in regards to rock band. But I had lunch with Brian last week who was able to show me Eve online. It’s an incredible space opera massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) which is in fact not that new (although Mac access just came as of recently). But I was hooked as soon as I saw it in action. There is one drawback in which you have to stay “in ship” during the game. And while I would probably play anyway, I really hope an MMOG is set up for the Firefly/Serenity universe that would be the walkthrough of Second Life, with the in ship action of Eve online. Dare to dream.

I got the chance to do a little extra work on the site this week, and now I have an email address reveal that appears on the ‘about’ page. The folks at Wordpress, and the open source superstars that cater to it, have really created a flexible platform that allows for very specialized presentations. Version 2.3 has been out for a month, and I think it’s a quantum leap in comparison to the 2.1.3 I first started with (all of five months ago, now).
I wish I could grasp a grain of what they talk about on Floss. I remember getting a C in ‘C’ in college, and that was pretty much the end of programming for me.
My super wife had the greatest comment about CSI:NY last night, which was heavily involved with Second Life. She said to me, “I’m glad your Second Life is in heaven with me.” I heartily agreed, and then we talked about our serious need for DSL. Yay!
