Cartoons

I download and record a lot of cartoons and other shows. I've slowly filled 2 giant disc booklets with burned media I obtained on the Internet and myself. I dedicate my Saturday mornings to recording TV shows for my own collection.

Why? Because I want to watch them? Yes, that's the goal, but to be more specific, it's to amass my own channel.

The eventual goal I have is to eventually put these all on a few 1TB hard drives (Yeah, I have a lot) and make a player app that will stream these throughout the house all day, like my own private cartoon channel.

It would be like a real channel, with scheduled times for cartoons, playing them in order. I haven't figured out about commercials yet. I have a bunch of vintage ones, but not enough, and it might get annoying.

It wouldn't be accessible on TV, rather walls in the house would have monitors embedded in them playing the cartoons 24/7. My dream house has a lot of rooms catering to my hobbies. :) I also intended on making a room divider that was all glass shelves, to display my action figures.

I know they're big aspirations, but I have to believe in them because my mother did, and she eventually built her library in our house like she wanted. (With her Barbie doll collection on display in the cabinets) One day, I'll get mine.

Step 1 is getting a job.

Oh and gaming shit... uhm...
Burnout: Domintor is out this Wednesday
God of War II is next Wednesday

Somehow I have to finish God of War 1 first. Lots of playing to do!

Black Friday 2008

At one Fry's last year, the police had to come. The manager came out around 5AM or so, about an hour before opening, and told everyone to condense the line as it wrapped around the store more than once. So rather than do it calmly, it caused this huge surge of people leaving a ton of shit behind, people in tents getting fucked over and a whole bunch of jazz. Understandably, the line DID compress greatly, as people were now excited, however, it was about 5-6 people deep. A giant mess, really and somehow I ended up near the front because of how deep it was. Then, to counter-act this, I SHIT YOU NOT, the manager got on the megaphone and said "If your hand isn't touching the wall, you're out of line." At that point I went pale. I was against the wall, next to a small mother and her child. I had to brace myself because a shitload of people were pushing against us and would surely crush them. A few metal shopping carts got torn apart, one car got wrecked, the railing...

Been using twitter a lot lately. http://twitter.com/m3wthr33 Also, Google Reader. Once you get the RSS link for your favorite news sites, you don't need anything else. It tracks articles you read, has keyboard shortcuts and you can even share with friends. It's pretty nuts. And playing a shitton of music games. Got platinum in Rock Band 2 and it feels so good. Now working on Guitar Hero Metallica . I don't think I'll get platinum, but I'll do my best to play every song on every instrument and get as far as I can. There's a handful of trophies that VERY VERY few people have got. Also getting back into Fallout 3 now that Broken Steel came out, and rasied the level cap. Playing Operation: Anchorage and enjoying the change in scenery and gameplay so far. Although it's painfully obvious the engine isn't made for heavy action. I'll post more now, but seriously, Twitter and Google Reader are where it's at for me now. Still thinking of redesigning this ...

Media Monkey

I love Media Monkey. It's a great way to organize files. Anyways, the auto-organize is the best feature, but of course we all have our own tweaks. H:\MEDIA\MUSIC\$if(<Album>,$if(<Type><>mp3,$if(<Genre>=Christmas,iTunes Xmas Music\,iTunes\),$if(<Genre>=Christmas,Xmas Music\,Albums\))$if(<Label>,#<Label>,<Album Artist>)\<Album>\$if(<Disc#>,$if($len(<Disc#>)<2,<Disc#:2>,<Disc#>) - ,)$if(<Track#>,$if(<Special>=Over100,<Track#:3>,<Track#:2>) - ,),No Album\)<Artist>$if(<Feat.>, feat. <Feat.>) - <Title> That, my friends, is my sorting script. It's made to filter out Christmas music, iTunes files and any special sorting tags. I also have rules for leading zeroes on albums over 100 tracks (Well, 100 OR over, but I'll tweak that later). I also strip out 'featuring' in the title or artist, because it pollutes the artist list with unneeded duplicates,...
