An opponent of proposed $250 million wind farm sought Monday to show what the project would look like from his point of view. Are others out there using free tools like this to help their cases in community forums, meetings, etc.? Seems like a great use of technology.
I really like the ability that these tools give the user. The integration between the two is fantastic. Real world visualization that would have bene prohibitively difficult or expensive can now be had by anyone with some time.
Really cool animation, fun music, great art… All in all a very solid flash game! Lots of fun.
I have built puzzle games, exploratory games, quiz games, side scroller race games, but never a platformer. Maybe I should try one once. Anyone need a platformer game out there?
I do miss the days of the 2D sidescroller. Hopefully with the Wii’s Virtual Console success we’ll see a resurgence in the old school mechanics of a good ole’ scrolly game.
So, I am planning on making a series of posts that will detail some of the things that I am waiting for/anticipating, etc in the year 2007. Many people make a list of top ten albums, movies etc that they enjoyed at the end of the year, but I guess I’m kind of flipping that around. I will be posting a list under each of my blog categories. (At this time: Family, Fun, Industry, School, Uncategorized, Work). Probably won’t be in that order. I think I’ll probably post in whatever order I formalize my thoughts in first.
I would ask that if you are reading this, you think of doing the same. What will you be thankful for at the end of the year? What new toys will you be playing with? How will your work, life, friends, etc. be different or, better?
Keep checking this site. I’ll be posting about every other day on this topic until I’m done.
The list is hilarious, but I feel they missed a couple of my favorites.
1. Good guys use Macs, bad guys use PCs.
2. Fingerprint scanning systems have really cool GUIs that show not only the print they are currently scanning, but also the number of matching points and the photo of the person the print is currently being compared against, for just a split second.
3. No one uses windows. Everyone uses some sort of OS developed by a Flash developer or some sort of KDE/Gnome theme.
4. When you connect to a remote system you have to call it something cool, like “uplinking”, or “jacking in”.
5. Even broadband connected computers have to go through a connection routine akin to dialing in via modem.
6. All systems at CTU have keyloggers and remote access/VNC on them.
Whenever I watch TV with my wife and I notice these, I usually can’t help but let out an amused snort.
I have had about 3-4 blogs that never really got off the ground. Blogspot, movabletype, a couple other platforms, etc… Just never had the motivation to write. This time will hopefully be different. Hopefully.
