webos development, borderlands, fun
i’ve been spending the last couple of weeks familiarizing myself with palm’s mojo sdk for webos. i’m looking at building an irc app for webos since there aren’t any yet. it’ll take me a bit of work, but the SDK and development environment are pretty intuitive. the application framework makes extensive use of JSON (jscript) and CSS elements.
the broncos have managed to start this season 6-0, which is pretty awesome since they haven’t managed to play terribly well since around 1999. being brought up as a cynical broncos fan means that i’m still extremely skeptical of the possibility of any future winds.
i’ve been looking at playing borderlands, but i’m sort of on the fence about it still. some reviews talk about how great the game is and that it’s fun, challenging and also really great in terms of graphics. other reviews, however, have pointed to it being a repetitive mess that isn’t any fun for more than maybe 20 hours, and that it turns into a grind-fest.
i also recently picked up both infamous for ps3 and arma ii for pc. infamous is incredibly fun. it’s sort of like gta4 with superhero powers. arma ii is what project reality wishes it could be–full military simulation. everything from bullet physics to wind modeling to vegetation trampling, flight dynamics, vehicle behavior, etc are all accurately modeled. it’s sort of buggy, but it’s a lot of fun and looks fucking phenomenal.
5 – 0
the denver broncos beat the patriots and are carrying a 5 and 0 record. i heard on talk radio on my way home first that the denver broncos’ win over dallas last week was a fluke and this week, they were purely lucky and/or bellichick let them win. i’m the world’s most negative broncos fan and even i am willing to accept that they played well today and last week.
guess people just can’t handle their stupid teams losing.
preceding post updated.
so i updated my previous post regarding my favorite albums of this year to include alice in chains’ black gives way to blue.
