I’ve been on a countdown and top 10 type of kick lately;  I think I’ve been reading a little too much at Bleacherreport.com, but I came up with this idea last week when it was raining and I had nothing to do in my apartment.  Booted up some old videogames, and got to thinking about all the older games that remind me of different times in my life or have a particular meaning to me, for one reason or another.  This certainly isn’t a list of the games that I think are the greatest in the world, though a few are, simply the games that I look back on and have a nice memory attached to them.  Most of these games are games everyone knows, but I’ll add a little backstory as to why I look back fondly on these games, and how they will always have a small 8-bit size part of my heart.

I’m a nerd.  And a dork.  Plus a little geeky.  Most people that know me know this.  Additionally, these traits are usually somewhat requisite in order to be a huge Apple fan.  I know Apple comes off as “cool”, but the people that are buying Apple products because they’re cool more than anything aren’t true nerdy, geeky, dorky Apple fans.  But I digress.  I have been actively following the news, rumors, and speculation regarding the next iPhone, because my iPhone 3G is wheeling around in a nursing home.  It’s on it’s last legs and I intend to get the next iPhone when it is released.  So here are some of my thoughts and predictions about what we can expect from the next iPhone.

Advice From Joe

Blogging is very much a love/hate relationship, and lately it has been leaning towards the hate side.  My biggest problem is regularly writing stuff.  This wasn’t always a problem but I’ll explain why it is now.

When I first started writing randomness in 2008 (2007?) , there was the newness factor to it all.  Wow, I have a website!  Super neato gang!  That “newness” fueled a lot of my early posting and I felt like I had a lot of material to write about.

At some point however, I just stopped caring.  Not that I’m a debbie downer or went into some sort of depression, but honestly, who cares?  I write a post about trying a new Thai recipe, or deciding between two pairs of running shoes.  Who cares!?  I wouldn’t read about someone else posting this so why would someone else.  At this point, about 2009, I became less and less interested in posting because my posts weren’t interesting.

My friend Matt is pretty brilliant with lots of things, namely music and computers.  His major was computer science I believe and has been working with computers for a very long time.  His company, SuperChop games, just released its’ first game:  Brutal Farmer for the Android App Store.

Now I would love to give this game a glowing endorsement, however Matt apparently doesn’t like Steve Jobs and hasn’t released it for the iOS App Store.  He has said that his next game will be for the iOS store, probably because he realizes how much cooler it is.  That has to be the reason.  Check out the video after the page break… Continue reading →
