The Cult of the Mac
I recently turned to the dark side and got a Mac... well... an iPod Nano to be specific (so not a Mac at all then). It was actually my Christmas present from work and is quite a nice little mp3 player. However, having used it for a few weeks I have a few things to say (about Mac's in general).
InterfaceOne of the things you will hear absolutely everywhere, is all the ...
Cheapo Hosting
I got to talking to some friends at work and they couldn't believe how cheap my hosting is, and how many features it has. I'm with Dreamhost and, whilst it's far from perfect, it's incredibly good value for money. I use the level 3 plan and get 60gig of hard disk space, and 1.6terabyts (thats 1600 gigabytes) of bandwidth - for the less technically inclined amongst you that's quite a lot.
Anyway I told my friends I'd set up a ...
Be a video game designer
I'm loving the Google Video at the moment.
Westwood College (somewhere in the United States I'm thinking) are advertising their game design course. It looks surprisingly realistic, at least that's what an average day in the office looks like for me...

Make your website pretty
Research has been done by some clever people that proves that users can base their opinions of a website on their immediate first impressions.
Researchers found that the brain makes decisions in just a twentieth of a second of viewing a webpage.
They were surprised as they believed it would take at least 10 times longer to form an opinion.
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
Ever wondered what would happen if everyone... ever... got into a fight, and who the champion would be? Well now you can find out. I should warn you that this is a flash animation and it contains much gratuitios cartoon violence.
If, like me, you have recently become a fan of Lemon Demon (like in the last 5 m inutes), the one man band who performs 'The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny', you can visit his site, or
Dev Diary : Design
Well - I got a little behind with my dev diary. First Regulus became rather more popular than I expected, and then EbayEd sunk without a trace (FWIW I never expected it to be popular - it IS rather limited in appeal), I got accepted into the 9rules collective, and then there was Christmas. Now all that's out of the way I can get back to making games.
Hoorah!

David Hasselhoff files for divorce
The world has been a bit light on Hasselhoff news recently, but today I found out he has filed for divorce from his wife, Pamela Bach
The actor's publicist announced Thursday that Hasselhoff has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
On a happier note I also found an awful a brilliant Hasselhoff video today. Before you click on the link, you should beware that he sings in this - but that's not the best bit.
If, for some ...
