Back from Dallas

Wow.

So, Project Neo, my robotics team, left for Dallas on Thursday. We competed in the semi-nationals, competing against 59 other teams from the west side of the Mississippi. Out of those 60 teams, we scored 28th place in the game. This is considerably higher than we had imagined we would score. Unfortunately, the awards ceremony was at 6:00 pm on Saturday, which was precisely the time we needed to catch our plane back. So, we don't know the full results- for all I know, we could have won the 1st place championship overall BEST award... but that's unlikely.

I just got back from a good game of Halo 2. As per usual, I got whipped.

I'll let you know more information as I find out.

Bubbles Course 2

I've just released a new game, and considering that people probably read this blog a lot more often than they check my software website, I figured I should mention it here as well. After a short beta test, I've released the sequel to the generally-liked game, Bubbles Course 2. Download! Play! Enjoy!

Evan VS. - Round 1.

I was just relaxing, jamming to tunes, when an old friend of mine decided to talk at me. I was bored, and he wanted to debate me on religion, so hilarity ensued. [Warning- contains adult language and subject material.]

Aaaargh

Whew! What a long week. I haven't gotten around to updating in the last few days, despite everything there is to say.

Well, we all know it- Bush won. At least the constitution limits him to two terms. I honestly think that if voters actually knew the issues, Kerry would have won- and oh, do I feel sorry for the poor guy. There can't be anything more embarrasing than losing to the president who has absoloutely reversed the budget surplus he started out with, been the first president in 70 years to lose jobs, and cannot pronounce ' nuclear'.

On Tuesday, that same day, I got my learner's permit. You'd best stay off all the roads until I get the hang of driving... perhaps you should stay off the sidewalks as well. :-D

I've been super-busy with robotics- I'm leaving one week from now to go to Dallas. I haven't been on an airplane in the longest time... No worries, though.

I'm working on setting up a webring between myself and several friends with similarly pointless websites. I'll let you know how that goes.

Happy Halloween!

Whew, what a long weekend. Friday night, I went to a Halloween party. The highlight of that one was watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show- "Only once you have watched the horrific absurdity of such an act can you truly be sure of your masculinity." Went to another 'party' Saturday night, but it was neither a party nor was it for Halloween- it was a weekly gathering of a small group of people to play Halo over a bunch of XBOXes. Needless to say, I got pwned, considering that I don't even own the game. Finally, tonight, I ended up greeting trick-or-treaters in a less-than-terrifying jester costume- it was fun regardless.

I hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween/Samhain.

Gmail Accounts

Now that I've given them out to personal friends that actually want them, here's the place for me to advertise them- does anybody want a gmail invite? As long as you don't already have one, and promise to actually use one, I'll be glad to send some out. I have three as of the writing of this message. Post comments on this blog to request invites.

Yes, regionals!

So, the word is in- we're going to Dallas, to participate in the regionals. Although we got second place, we're planning on defeating the New Mexico first place team, Mesilla Valley Christian, in this 'rematch'- if nothing else. November 12th and 13th.
