I will actually make a real post soon, but for now I’ll just keep posting up random images that Josh is sending me while on his trip.

Josh says high from Germany. (Pun intended.) Picture taken from highest point in the country.

Plants vs Zombies

PopCap made Peggle and Bejewled, among other games. They’re casual game making extraordinaires. Their next game, due to release tomorrow for $10 (here), has me more excited than it should considering it’s nothing but a casual game (i.e. dumbed down) take on the tower defense genre. I knew the game was coming, but I didn’t bother really looking into it until I saw the following music video. It’s genius.

If that song doesn’t get stuck in your head, well, you aren’t human.

I also was able to make my own zombie using their Zombatar. The marketing for this game is simply hilarious. They sold me.

As far as the game is concerned, I played the timed demo and when the demo kicked me out I was itching for more. Oh PopCap, how you suck us in so easily. Damn you PopCap. Damn you.

Zen master Hakuin

The Zen master Hakuin was praised by his neighbors as one living a pure life.

A beautiful Japanese girl whose parents owned a food store lived near him. Suddenly, without any warning, her parents discovered she was with child.

This made her parents very angry. She would not confess who the man was, but after much harassment at last named Hakuin.

In great anger the parents went to the master. “Is that so?” was all he would say.

After the child was born it was brought to Hakuin. By this time he had lost his reputation, which did not trouble him, but he took very good care of the child. He obtained milk from his neighbors and everything else the little one needed.

A year later the girl-mother could stand it no longer. She told her parents the truth - that the real father of the child was a young man who worked in the fishmarket.

The mother and father of the girl at once went to Hakuin to ask his forgiveness, to apologize at length, and to get the child back again.

Hakuin was willing. In yielding the child, all he said was: “Is that so?”

Obama ftw . . . ?

Like wow, a picture

This is me at work today waiting to get sent home because of the weather. It’s actually an accidental picture, but thought I’d share it since I never have pics of myself.

Oatmeal

Paul — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 23:03:12 +0000

I just had oatmeal for dinner. Not the prepackaged kind, but the standard, plain oats. I added cinnamon and a little sugar, then crushed up some almonds. It was delish. And I’m shocked. I always thought straight oats were gross when I was a kid. It’s amazing how things change.

If anyone has any ideas on some good oatmeal combos, I’m all in. I’m looking to put some apples in tomorrow.

Why don’t zombies eat each other?
