Death Race 2000 – Peter style

Thursday, March 24th, 2005

Peter has been unwittingly recreating scenes from the movie Death Race 2000. Unwittingly, because he’s never seen the movie, of course. His killer car of choice is a souped-up pink doll stroller. He straps in his baby doll Caesar (“I call him Caesar because I didn’t have a boy doll named Caesar before”) and the […]

MOVE’D

Sunday, March 13th, 2005

Okay, this is the last entry at this old location, http://my.tbaytel.net/macbeth/blogger.html – please update your links etc. to http://www.psw.ca/blogger.php – I already have on my main page. I paid extra when I moved to godaddy.com hosting so I could continue to have cgi support which my comments system requires. It turns out that Godaddy has […]

Moving

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2005

I’m switching hosts for psw.ca which is where my blog’s commenting system lives, so the comments may act strange for a while. But once everything’s settled, it should work much better, and get rid of that stalling problem that happens sometimes with my current you-get-what-you-pay-for-and-can’t-complain host. Both my real job and my top-secret-cool-job have been […]

Creative Inspiration

Wednesday, February 16th, 2005

I spend a lot of time thinking about being creative. I think about articles and blog entries I want to write, I think about video games I want to program, I think about books I want to write, songs I want to write and record, even an idea I have for a movie (a fictional […]

Kids and Video Games

Tuesday, February 15th, 2005

What, can’t drag Johnny away from that book he’s reading? Can’t get Suzy inside the house on a beautiful spring day? Like most parents, you want your little kids to be playing video games, and you get worried when they seem disinterested, or they find the games too frustrating or confusing. Well, I’ve got some […]

Electronic Music

Monday, February 7th, 2005

My tastes in music have changed a lot over the years. In the early 80s I was listening to the current top-40 type stuff, like Billy Joel or Bruce Springsteen or, dare I admit it, Michael Jackson. Then I remember during the breakdance craze starting to listen to some rap and some techno-type music. Then […]

Tron 2.0 Killer App

Friday, February 4th, 2005

Not only a really good pun, Tron 2.0 Killer App for the Gameboy Advance is also an excellent game. I spent this last weekend playing Tron whenever I could. It’s a fairly short game – I was able to finish it in two days, but it was a good trip, and it’s full of extras […]

Wrong address/phone information will cause Parcel Lose.

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2005

I’ve written before about how much I enjoy good ol’ NHL 98 on the Sega Genesis. My friend Victor organizes approximately three tournaments a year where we get together and play this game. Two of the three involve modern NHL rosters. This becomes more of a problem which each passing year, as more and more […]

Robin’s Green Bass vs. Richard’s Yamaha Acoustic Guitar

Wednesday, January 26th, 2005

Richard and I have had a running joke that playing the bass is just a subset of playing guitar, and therefore, any decent guitarist is automatically a decent bassist. Well, it’s usually Richard’s joke, and I’m the butt of it. It got brought up again in Richard’s blog, and so I’ve been thinking about this […]

My Lame Cartoon Idea

Friday, January 21st, 2005

Just because Rich and Shroom have been sharing their kinda joke / cartoon ideas: While walking back to my truck in the Canada Games Complex parking lot, I was about to walk by a fairly distinguished looking fellow, probably in his 50s, who was heading towards the building. For the last several years I’ve deliberately […]
