Ok, I promised, so here it is. I’ve been working on a new set of header graphics and graphics layout for the site. I was inspired by many of the winamp skins that I have a large collection of, as many of you know. Is 75 skins to many? No, really. So, I’ve been whipping up some cool graphics that will merge the header and side column and add graphical links to the sides. I’m also working on a new layout in general. I have a tendency to generate the layout AS I’m working on the graphics, that way everything fits. Oh well, it’s still a little way off but it’ll get there. Anyway, here’s a sneak peak. It’s been watermarked for various reasons, mostly because a large section is still undone and very stealable. But we hope that won’t happen. Ok, more to come, but it’s dinner time first. Later.

Flipping through the channels last night I came across “Fatal Fury” the anime on the SciFi channel. It’s frightening how much you can lose through translation and editing. Now, I’ve seen the original movie, in japanese, with subtitles, unedited and last night I thought I was watching a different movie. I’m not sure who edited that copy, but it was complete crap. Ok, I’ll leave that alone, what should I expect for 2am, right? As for today, I think I’m going to head down to the hair salon and get a trim, then I’ve got to return a pair of dress pants to the mall since I got the wrong size. Aight, I’m gonna go get in the shower, I’ll probably let you guys in on my graphics thingy this afternoon, most of you have already seen it, so why not? Ok, I’ll be back. Later.

Hey there. More randomness for the moment. First, I can’t wait to see Darren Emerson on Friday. I might have convinced my co-worker, Brent, to join us in having the day off and heading into Boston. Should be cool if he tags along. I wonder if Chris found out any more info about the show (hint, hint, email me.) Also, if you guys haven’t checked out Timo Maas’ new album, I suggest you do so. Thats about all I got for the moment, I hook you fools up with some kick ass links tomorrow, or maybe I’ll unveil my new graphics project, we’ll see. Later.

Whats this! Holy Shit! Matts writting something… hey guys, take a look at this! (haha, very funny). Ok, I’m back from another great day at work (pla) and have finally taken off my shoes and I’m going to kick back, watch the red sox game and fall blissfully into slumber. Today was fun, it was only me and Brent, so we hung out and poked fun at customers when we felt like it. I’m starting to understand what Eric and Brent say when they talk about nothing being done around the store. I’m not sure what the other associates do, but the three of us who have brains in our heads seem to do all the work. Also, on a funny note, an old lady came in today, saying that she was harrassed by an associate and that she wanted to let managment know. This is funny simply because it was Ash that did it and we all hate him and were looking for a reason to fire him… guess what, problem solved. At any rate, I’m still holding off on the A.I. review till Chip gets around to seeing it, but for those of you who need to read something, you can check out Chris’ page, he pretty much feels exactly the same way as I do. Lets see, what else.. Oh ya, picked up Dogma Special Edition and Snatch Special Edition before legal street date. YAH! The perks of being an employee. Nagle, if you haven’t gotten it already, the Dogam SE is bad ass, go get it! Ok, I guess its time for me to relax a little. I’ll rant some more before bed time. Later.

I appologize for the lack of journal entries in the past two days. I’ve been busy and such. I’m also busy at the moment, and I’m about to head to bed. At any rate, I’ve got to work all weekend so I probably won’t get around to some proper web rantings till monday. To tide you over, go see A.I. I promised Chip I wouldn’t review it yet since he wasn’t able to see it with us. But you can expect a nice lengthy description on Monday. I will say this… I liked it… but. There were some party that I felt could have been retouched and rewritten, mainly in the last have of the movie. But like I said, that’ll have to wait until Monday. The reason for my working all weekend is that I switched Sunday, open till close, for not having to work on Friday, which would allow me to see Darren Emerson, world renowned DJ, in Boston with Chris. Can’t wait for that. Ok, off to bed, I’ve got to get up in a few hours and head back to work. Yay! Later.

Well, last nights game fest wasn’t quite the spectacular event that I had hoped, basically due to the lack of Chip and Jason. But, playing BoxWars with Dave was very fun. After a little CS we switched over to that and beat the box-crap out of each other. In other news, Microsoft won its appeal in court, which in my opinion, is a mixed bag. I do like IE over NS, but that shouldn’t mean that Microsoft can strong arm Sun and Apple into installing IE over NS on all their systems. I also completely disagree with MS’s whole internet-active-web-top-desk-integrated-activation-semi-subcription-thingy-bullshit-battleplan. I mean, you can’t force people to conform to a subscription-ish system and integrate the web into their desktop without them wanting it. Maybe I’m living in a bubble, but I don’t want the web IN my desktop. I’ve turned off “active-desktop” since it was introduced into Win98. I also don’t want to have to call MS every time I install some new hardware and my hardware key changes. When I use software, including operating systems, and I’ve paid for it, NO ONE is going to be in control of it except for me. This would be giving control back to companies almost in a subscription sort of way. All this in exchange for some conveniences, like being able to log onto someone else’s computer and have all your shortcuts, favorites, documents etc. I don’t like the trade. My documents should never be “on file” somewhere. Ok, enough MS ranting for today, I’m sure Chris will smack me around and tell me all the good reasons for some of this tonight or tomorrow. At any rate, I’ve got to run some errands and drop my dad off at a baseball game. Later.
