Jimmy’s Lost His Toilet Paper
Filed in Gaming, Internet, Noteworthy, Pictures, Twitter, blog, July 17, 2008, 7:42 amBack in January I was watching a 1up Show special on Indie Games where they reviewed a game called Crayon Physics. Well I checked out the developer’s website to see if he has finished Crayon Physics Deluxe. No Deluxe but he had another cute game called “Jimmy’s Lost His Toilet Paper.”
Here is the description of the game straight off the website:
“Jimmy lives a simple life. All he’s got is a roll of toilet paper. Until the faithful day that his TP rolled away. You play as Jimmy on his epic adventure to get back all that belongs to him and find love and meaning to his life on the way.”
This is a cute little game anyone can play and just like crayon physics, its easy to pick up, moderately challenging and pretty fun. Check it out and let me know what you think of it. Here is the link to download the game to try it out:

Radiohead’s New 3D Video
Filed in Internet, Music, Noteworthy, Video, blog, July 16, 2008, 1:59 am
Saw Engadget’s post about Radiohead’s new music video for “House of Cards” and it put a smile on my face. Radiohead continues to impress me. Every time I see something they put out it solidifies why I like them so much as innovators, musicians, and mavericks in their field. This video shows they can go against the grain and prove there is more than one way to produce a music video. Radiohead combines 3D plotting technology with Thom Yorke’s haunting melodies to produce a great piece of video art without cameras and “over done” look of most 3D animation. This is something fresh and new and that’s what I love about Radiohead.
Here are additional links to Google Code Pages that show the a behind the scenes making of and even an interactive 3D viewer model of some of the effects.
Check out my other story on Radiohead about “Scotch Mist” a video which was released on New Year’s Eve this year and it features every song from In Rainbows

Alpha is the New Beta
Filed in Internet, News, Software, blog, July 14, 2008, 6:00 am
Read this great articleby Mashable concerning the growning trend with software development companies to release very “buggy” software and passing it off as beta, when in fact they should be marked as Alpha. The author talks about Microsoft and Google with their Gmail service which should have the Beta tag removed.
Working for a software company, I see our software move through the development cycle and we would not release Alpha software for any kind of public consumption. Alpha releases are purely for our testers to test the software in-house. Only after much testing do we give software out to beta customers.
