OTFPOTD: September 18th edition

Tiny by BrianL on Comment 682 comments

Fuck you Scrappy.

In the news today:

Mirror's Edge has a release date now.

Peter Molyneux takes a break from over-hyping his games to badmouth the PS3, claims the console is still waiting for a defining title.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed released, sucks.

The secret Guitar Hero instrument is actually a MIDI import feature and that is awesome.

The OLPC XO laptop finally, FINALLY, is shipped to another country.

New Minneapolis bridge opens, 13 months after collapse.

Other potential discussion topics:

  • Am I the only one here who doesn't watch/enjoy hockey?
  • Has anyone else installed the iPhone 2.1 software update? How's it working for you?
  • Anyone here use the Asus eeePC?
  • The Microsoft Natural Pro keyboard: Best keyboard ever?
  • I've got a $200 gift card to use at Fry's. What should I buy?
  • Fall movies: anything worth seeing?
  • Who here loves rain?

I love hockey, but admit that I don't watch it as often as my other favorite sports.

I will likely never purchase an iPhone.

My coworker has an eeePC and absolutely loves it. I’ve seen it – it’s cool as hell.

I like a good southern rain. Seattle rain is pissy and annoying.

You have questions, I have answers

I used to love hockey. But we separated about 10 years ago, and it took a while to be back on speaking terms, but now we’re guardedly trying to be friends again. I don’t want to push anything so I won’t name a favorite – don’t want to scare hockey off again – but it is a fun sport to watch.

Don’t own an iphone, probably never will. My telephonic needs are not complex and an iphone is way more phone than I need or want.

Never used an ASUS eee but I love the concept.

Natural Pro Keyboard – very good, don’t know about best ever but it’s mighty fine.

$200 should buy you about eight miles of speaker wire. I have no idea what you should buy. What are your needs?

Several things worth seeing – Burn After Reading is a mess, but it’s an entertaining mess.

I tolerate rain. Ask me in February and I’ll go on a rain rant the likes of which you’ve never heard, but rain this weekend will be a nice break from 90+.

True story

When I worked at Fry’s I got a 10% over cost discount, meaning if something cost Fry’s $5.00 I could get it for 5.50. I was able to buy 50 feet of cat5 cable for 50 cents. It retailed for 40 dollars.

Oh, and awesome

AC/DC tickets go on sale Saturday morning. They’re playing two shows in the Puget Sound area – Saturday Nov 29 at the Key, and Sunday the 30th at the Tacoma Dome. But no Portland show. WTF? Anyway, the Supersuckers and Mudhoney are playing that Saturday, so I’m getting tickets for the Tacoma Dome show.

I’ve never seen them, and I’m absurdly excited about this. And, for a top-tier band like that, $80-120 is pretty much the going rate these days. Which sucks, but still.

The camera in Force Unleashed is horrid. And the gameplay is a shitty ripoff of God of War.

However, throwing people/objects around and force choking them is loads of fun. So far, it’s been mostly worth my bandwith money.

I was the biggest hocket fan around in the late 80's

Between Thunderbirds locally and Blackhawks in the NHL I just loved the sport.

Then the Blackhawks decided to become the worst run franchise in sports and I just could not find another team to care about.

I go to Vancouver once every couple years to catch a game just because it is a good way to spend a weekend, but that is about it. Now that the T-birds will be in Kent I will never go to another game.

Wow. that’s sad. I’m still annoyed they left the Center Arena – I’m surprised they lasted as long as they did in the Key, that place is way too big for a minor-league hockey team.

I've been thinking about adding hockey to my fandom

Haven’t watched much hockey in several years except for an occasional Chiefs game here in Spokane and caught some of last year’s final on tv. That Pens / Red Wing series was way more entertaining than I thought possible. I’m just not sure what team I would choose. I’m afraid to fall in love with a team again because I’ve been hurt so much lately…

Interesting Rays tidbit

Since the Rays won the season series with the Red Sox, they would win the AL East if they finish with an identical record as Boston. Essentially, they have a three game lead on the Red Sox.

germophobic people are funny

So I’m in the restroom just now, washing my hands. The guy next to me washes his hands pretty much all the way to his mid-forearm, makes a great show of drying his hands and then, when leaving the restroom, hits the disabled-person-automatic-door button. With his elbow. Then, he goes to the stairwell, opens the door with his bare hands, and proceeds to walk up the stairs clutching the handrail. He opens the door on his floor with his bare hands, and I assume at that point goes back to his desk and types on his keyboard without gloves or protective gear.

I’m all for personal hygiene, don’t get me wrong; it just cracks me up that people will be all OMGKILLERGERMSINTHEBATHROOM and not realize that there are actually germs everywhere, and most of them are benign as long as you maintain an elemental level of personal cleanliness.

Of course. Wash your hands when you're done.

Although I’ll skip it if I’m out camping wiht no facilities, or if I’m covered in grease while working on the car or something. Then I just wash my hands when I’m done with the project, or when I find somewhere I can actually wash (river, creek, etc). But in those cases I’m not touching the doorknobs or anything anyway.

I was just in a project management discussion where I had to warn people about scope creep. ‘Round here people go "well, we’ve defined the project as this, and it’s signed off and work has started – but what about adding that, that, that, and the other thing too?" and before long, the project spirals out of control because a simple thing now has no focus. Which is what happens when you take a simple eee pc and lard it up with accessories to make it just like a bigger machine.

And in a side note, I guarantee I will not say anything about the spurs game today.

I'm not a fan of that song really

but it does seem like it fell victim to the same thing a lot of 80’s songs did – horrible production. Producers and musicians got a bunch of new toys in the 80’s, and didn’t learn how to finesse them until about 1993 it seems. “What does this do? Let’s turn it on FULL BLAST!”. A lot of good songs were sent to their death in the 80’s by this school of production theory.

because Disintegration is a phenomenal album the way it stands; I can’t imagine messing with it. But yeah, DM definitely got hit by the 80’s stick; I’m not a huge fan but I saw them live once and was blown away at how raw and visceral they sounded as compared to on their records.

It's not so much loudness

Loudness didn’t really become a huge issue until the mid-00’s, and the prevalence of iPods and other personal media players. The reason post-92 CD’s sound better is that until about 1991 or so, the record industry was focused on churning out as many back-catalog CD’s as they could, because they realized they could make a ton of money as people converted their libraries from record to digital.

After about 1991 or so, people started noticing CD’s tended to sound like crap (my 1989 copy of Aerosmith’s Greatest Hits is a HORRIBLE transfer) so they started focusing more on quality of transfer than quantity.

The 80’s were just about playing with new toys and seeing what they did, and unfortunately, the learning curve ruined a lot of otherwise decent songs/albums.

We probably left around the 8th inning (I was 6 or 7, so even 9:30 was pretty late for me), and when we got home they were interviewing him on the radio, and my dad just told me to go upstairs and then he handed me the phone and they were already interviewing Edgar. It was awesome

but I’d be willing to bet it’s better than most downtown PDX clubs, which seem to have a large proportion of ASUBoyd types at them all weekend.

BINGO

I went there once on a Tuesday, and thought “wow, this place isn’t bad” despite their lack of a great beer selection – it was kinda mellow, the staff was pretty cool, and I was generally impressed. Then, we went there on a Friday after work, and by 6pm we all got tired of mocking each and every person that walked in the door for being a douchebag and left. By the time we came back that way to get our car which was parked right there, it was 9pm, the line to get in was around the corner, and everyone in that line was ASUBoyd.

I’ve never been back.

Barracuda might actually be worse...and that's saying a lot.

I thought you loved your Jack Pucells?

I did.

These are better. I finally found a pair of shoes that closely match the old EV Pros I loved so dearly.

I'm down to a no name brand of brown oxfords and an old pair of combat boots.
