Minecraft

Okay, I'm gonna geek out for a second. Minecraft is one of the most amazing games I have played in a fairly long time. I learnt of it about two months ago, and I since then my computer and I have been inseparable. It was created by this guy named "Notch" who develops this game out of Norway (I think) Anyhow, the graphics are terrible but the game is superb. It's really hard to explain it; the best description I could think of was this: virtual legos on crack. You build up your world and fight zombies and these little green things called "creepers." (Kinda like the old guys who follow you around on BART) When they get close to you the explode. On the right you'll see a little animated GIF with a creeper. It's really funny. Anyhow, the game is now in beta and you should all support the developer. He wrote this whole game from scratch and he's now sold 800,000 copies of the game at 15 euros apiece. I think he's due for early retirement. Anyhow, this game is an incredible programming feat. Below is a picture of my newest home. It's very bright and I'm quite proud of it.

New Beginnings

So I have two other failed blogs. One is called "The Devil's Advocate," which dealt mainly with political issues (and was constituted almost exclusively by my ranting) and "The Philosophy(μ)," which was my way of venting emotional stuff. Both of those blogs were unsustainable because my life is tumultuous and constantly changing. Therefore, I needed something that could be flexible; I needed something that wasn't fixed to any one subject.

Now I know that on all of the blog "help" sites, they say that you need to find one topic and stick to it in order to become successful. I tried that and now I disagree. Success isn't judged by how many people visit your blog; it's judged by how sincere the blogger is who is making it. Hopefully this blog will be more sustainable. (And hopefully it actually does get some page views.) Anyhow, it's about one in the morning here so I had better get to bed, but I should be posting fairly regularly and this should be a more fruitful venture than my past blogs. So long!
