Crayon Physics Deluxe

This game is absolutley amazing, I’m just awe struck by this video, I can’t wait to go play it right after I finish writing this.

Edit: Well I’m not going to lie, I’m sort of depressed turns out the beta version is a .exe meaning that I can’t run it on my mac so I can’t wait to get to school tomorrow ;). Oh and you can check out the site here.

Thanks to Pandora I found some bands that are a lot like one of my favorite bands of all time, Crossfade. From this I rediscovered how much I love Breaking Benjamin and I found a new band to love…Default. Now I’m addicted to them especially “It Only Hurts”.

Just figured I’d share that little tid bit with everyone.

I’m not one to really support charity mainly because they drive me nuts, especially the telemarketers but if it’s a cause like getting clean water to third world countries and they’re not going to be calling my house three times a day every day (like the American Cancer Society) I’ll give them some support so this image below is my way of supporting World Water Day which is March 22.

After all I’m not a robot, I do have feelings for these kids drinking terrible water.

Today I brought my Mighty Mouse with me to the Apple store because despite the tons of suggested remedies to solve the problem with dirt in the track ball on the Mighty Mouse I gave up just short of taking the mouse apart to clean out the sensors. After the genius OKed it with his manager he was able to go ahead and give me a brand new mouse! I must say it’s weird to be able to scroll down after months of not being able to. All I’ve got to say is that today was another great experience with an Apple genius - The End.

While I’m sitting on hold for only the first time with Optimum Online customer support I figured I might as well write a rant about how much I hate thier custotmer support. To start off you get a fairly sarcastic sounding recording that uses a really annoying repetative tone and as it goes through the options when you’re waiting for the option for technical support and then you realize maybe after the second or third round…it’s not coming. So this forces you to hit 0 which will put you on hold. At this point you hear terrible music the same recording about Optimum Rewards over and over. After that torture you get a general operator who will take down all your information, try to get you to upgrade your service, then transfer you. After this you finally get to a tech support person who is usually very helpful but will take down your information again and it’s just a flat out hassle to get to them. Except you still need to wait at least 20-30 minutes for someone to help.
