Ok, bought myself a Nintendo DS Lite. I was able to get it (in a like new condition) for $95.25 (+ $5 shipping) on eBay. That's like $30 cheaper than just getting a brand new one from Amazon or something. It comes with a nice clear vinyl case with flames on it too. The DS Lite is the crimson and black one, which is the coolest of them all, even cooler than the cobalt blue and black IMHO. Yes yes, I already have a DS, but I wanted a DS Lite since everything is better about it. I plan to sell my original DS.

I need to stop using money if I want to go to Canada to see my buddy ~Jason9811. Bah, I have enough!

I just released my first Mumble skin today. Everything is skinned, even the configuration window. For more information and to download it, go here: Mumble Skins

Ok, do you like that subject I gave this? Hmm? You only would if your a programmer, right? I'll tell you what it means later.

<!-- Half-Life 2 Garry's Mod -->
I've been playing it a lot of GMod and couldn't stop. I got mods for it (yes, mods for a mod). One mod is called "wires" which allows you to wire up electronic components up to things and make them do stuff. One of the things I made was a altitude sensitive bomb, I launch it with thrusters and once it reaches a certain altitude it will blow up. Me and a friend made a countdown panel for launching rockets and blowing up nukes and the like. It counts from 20 by default (we made it so you can set the time before starting) and will launch on zero. I also made some lights to indicate how much time is left even though we did have a display to show it. All the wiring up of conditionals and controls (and the such) came natural to me because of my coding knowledge, it's just that I had to learn how to use them. There's also a chip, called the expression chip, that you can program, I'm looking into learning how to do that. If I learn how to code the expression chip, I can probably turn our countdown panel from like 20 chips to 1 chip, the expression chip.

So, does this game sound interesting? If you find this very interesting and you can't seem to stop playing with it, you will like GMod.

If you ever had or have Lego Mindstorms and loved it, you will love GMod with the wires mod. It's the same thing, but you can work with explosives, guns, lasters, and all sorts of other stuff with the added bonus of no limitations, well except the sky, but even that is pretty high up on most maps.

If you want to know exactly what you can do in GMod, search for it on YouTube. You will find all sorts of stuff you can make, even with the wires mod.

<!-- My New Airsoft Gun -->
Well, I've had it for a few weeks now and I broke it. Nothing serious, just something some epoxy should take care of. I also managed to receive batteries from the seller when I asked about them. The batteries are NiCD, but I got them for nothing, so why complain? When they have no more life due to the "memory effect" that they are known for, I will use NiMH instead. Other than it being broken right now, if fires great, but I need fresh alkaline batteries for it to run good. My old NiMH batteries have lost too much of their power to do anything and I haven't had a chance to try the new NiCD batteries sent by the seller. Anyway, needs fixed, I will get to fixing it soon, I hope. It's just a matter of time.

<!-- About the Subject -->
Well, it basically means if the news is good, the subject is "GMod", otherwise it's "Airsoft". Understand? It's a shorthand conditional. It can be used in PHP as well as Perl and some other lanuages. If your a coder and you want to know how to use it, Google it.

I had to shoten it because dA doesn't like long Subjects. It tried to make it this:
($news=='good')?'GMod':'Airsoft';

Oh well...

Anyway, fun stuff. ^_^

I went to the 2008 Detroit Auto Show (AKA: North American International Auto Show) last Monday with my dad and two friends. (I didn't want to post about this until I got pictures up on my website, in case you were wondering.)

Of course the spotlight of all this are the concept vehicles. So, we got pictures of them. I'm in the slow process of getting all the pictures titled and described on my website, so if the title is something like "Auto-Show-2008-###", I haven't got to it yet. Also, I may just put a short description in some then beef them up later.

Highlights
1. Lamborghini and Ferrari were very cool.
2. Nissan Forum was my favorite concept car.
3. Flash crashed on Windows XP on one of the Honda touch screens. I wish I got a picture of it.
4. The new Hummer, the HX, looks like the Warthog in Halo crashed into the H3.
5. Jeep was trying to do the same thing with their concept.

So, here's the link to all the pictures: [link]
Enjoy the pictures!

--- IN OTHER NEWS ---
I recently ordered a new Airsoft from eBay, I can't wait for it to arrive. It's expected to come the 29th. ThinkGeek has it, but they are/were out of stock and I was impatient: [link]

Yeah, to start the year off with a bang, I released all the rerenders of my classics:


So, what did everyone do for new years? What are your resolutions if any?

I have no resolutions this year, at least not yet.

New years eve I went to a party where I played Guitar Hero for the first time. I guess I did ok for a first timer. I also played some ping pong, a little Doom on my DS, and a game of DDR. Watched the ball drop and some funny dancing (got some video of that, hehe). Had lots of food, fun, etc. Nuff said.

Need to go to bed... so I must.
