That's Nolan Bushnell. You might recognize him from his small projects, such as being the founder of Atari, Inc and Chuck E. Cheese's. He's been inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame as well as the Consumer Electronics Association Hall of Fame. Newsweek recognized Mr. Bushnell as one of the "50 Men Who Changed America". He's also founder of the adult entertainment restaurants, uWink, and Chairman of the board at NeoEdge Networks. Hey, he even created Pong, and he'll be in Georgia.

This is a test using a program called Scribefire.

Let's see how well tags work. Woo! 

So here I am, watching Avatar and testing our API by using a standalone client to update the site. I am using Blogilo right now.

This movie provides me many chances to surf the internet and also gives me the opportunity to say things like, "Street Fighter x Tekken and Tekken x Street Fighter has me excited." Although I really have to question the decision making skills at Capcom. For instance, they release a Vs Capcom game for the Wii that pits Capcom characters against obscure japanese anime characters, that on a percentage basis is safe to say nobody in North America recognizes. Before the game has a chance to really get it's footing, they announce Marvel Vs Capcom for the Xbox 360 and Playsation 3.

Now, I don't claim to be a top notch industry analyst, but that seems like a poor decision to me. Overshadow your own game with one that hosts characters North America not only recognizes, but have grown up with! A sequel to one of the greatest fighting games this side of the ocean. What was that Wii game again? Who cares!? Marvel vs Capcom!!!

Now that MvC3 is about to reach consumers, Capcom announces another fighting game that will use their popular engine, this time pitting their Street Fighter characters against Namco's Tekken roster.

What the %&*^!?

In my younger day, most people were either a Tekken fan or a Street Fighter fan. It was like Nintendo vs Sega, except with two franchises that promoted violence! Now all I can think about is Street Fighter II facing off against Tekken II. Two of my favorite fighting games together at last!

I am excited, for both the Capcom version of the game and the Namco version. Capcom's being based on the Street Fighter engine, and Namco's on their own Tekken engine. 2D vs 3D. Unfortunately for Capcom, this also means I wont be picking up MvC3, just as that game helped me overlook Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

Because I am too clumsy to ever remember the things I want, and often get caught up in what is the newest release, I am making this post as a reminder.

Now, on my way to purchase Monster Hunter: Tri.

Tomorrow I begin the trek toward the Grand Canyon. Celebrating my sixth wedding anniversary, and I'm taking the wife along! Our reservations are for Monday and Tuesday nights, but we're going to take our time getting there so I can show her the painted desert, and maybe stop to see the worlds largest ball of yarn.

Hiking 9 miles in the canyon on the first day, and then 12 the next. I'm going to be exhausted. This is my first time camping in a tent. I have already set it up in the backyard and then disassembled it. I even managed to get the thing back in the carry bag. Apparently I'm a tenting prodigy.

Ms. JJNova has never been to the Grand Canyon, so the entire experience will be new for her. The only time I have gone, my family and I just looked into the canyon. I picked up a rock and threw it into the opening, which I think disappointed my father, as he looked at me and said, "Now it wont ever be the same for anyone else." Odd as it may seem, I learned a lot about respect that day.

So here I go again. Wish me luck!

Man, ATT is pushing really hard.
I don't know if they are losing a ton of customers or what, but I can't do anything without ATT letting me know they have more voice coverage than anyone else on the planet.

Well well, looky here. A place I can unleash and scare the living daylights out of those who know me. In a time when micro-blogging and text messages are dominating the technological crowd, I make an unprecedented move and travel in reverse. I spit in the eye of adversity. I.... really don't have anything to say. Test.
