Everyone go buy Castle Crashers! It’s an amazingly simple throwback of a game, and with an awesome sense of humor added in.

Where do all of these people come from in testing who are running 64-bit Windows? I’m at a loss.

Imagine how awesome the Flash video thing from Madden would be if they added it to, say, Burnout Paradise. Yeah: whoa.

Madden Video Highlights: Nice Touch

While chasing after an Achievement tonight, I managed a pretty decent punt return for a TD with the ‘Fins. I know, I know: bad team selection. But I wanted to post the video highlight because I think the capability to take a Flash video of a play in a video football game is one of [...]

@gruber McCarver?!? I think the late hour is getting to you. Think about what you’re saying.

Why does the Delicious blog posting tool just randomly crap out every few weeks? I have to go back in and restart it myself all the time…

I’m Not Sure, But I Think This Is Mildly Accurate

This progress bar is WAY more awesome than the last one I was watching.

Anyone have $20 I can borrow to buy my wife a dinner? I think she needs it. I wish I could take off the rest of the week.

Caleb has been diagnosed with mild autism. I admit that I feel lost and unsure as to how to respond. Yeah, not the best week.

On the other hand, being home with my other three, I always learn interesting things about them. I’m pretty sure they’re crazy.

I’m home with the kids this morning while Amanda is with Caleb at his evaluation. “Nervous” doesn’t begin to describe my day so far.
