So I have this predictament.

The curious can check out images and snapshots taken one week ago at the Data Destruction show in Chicago's very own Bottom Lounge. Check out the grainy, low-light images! The advent of this gallery script should provide a windfall of...

Hooray! I just wobbled my way back home from the excellent Data Destruction Chicago show, featuring the bands named above as well as local talent Bud Melvin, and I have to say that I had a blast. I'll surely be...

...and then crawled into bed before making a journal entry.

But... you don't!

Sorry but I'm unable to grab my photos off my camera tonight so I'm going to leave the details of the day for a later post. What I can do is give you an idea of what I saw.

It's not every day that your local musuem sets up shop with an exhibit containing over 100 video games, all on free play!

We just finished covering Neural Networks in my Artificial Intelligent class and I've come to the quick conclusion that they are totally radical. Unfortunately, neural networks are in fact too radical and are rarely used for games - the AI...

Months and months ago the Sony Metreon announced that it would be creating the "Walk of Game", a video game industry version of Hollywood's Walk of Fame. This sounds cool (or it did to me at least) in theory, but the whole thing is extremely flawed.

Leaving the Game On exhibition earlier today left me feeling underwhelmed. While there's some great objects there to be fawned over, I felt there were some severe shortcomings with the exhibit. I'll surely go into some more detail in my...

Well peccaui hasn't cold cocked me with a sock full of oranges, yet. So I guess it's safe to preceed. Only because I love Ronn so much, do I do this. This week has been... complicated in the terms of...

I have been beaten, bruised and berated, but I won't let her tear me away from the wheel.

Blah. It seems that at some point I made another movie. Who would've thought! I worried that the first one might be too big of an inside joke, I'm thinking this one is gonna be even MORE of one. But...
