Gears of War Rocks

I got Gears of War for XBox 360 and it is awesome. The character design, level design, and lighting effects are amazing. The controls are very intuitive. I'm about half way through it so far and it's getting really tough - but so am I - heh, heh.

Radio Star

I had an awkward moment in the spotlight last Monday. A guy from KSL Radio came to Richter7 and interviewed Tim Brown and I for a story on Advertising in video games. It was kind of creepy to hear myself on the radio. Here is the link. Click here

Old School

I decided to chuck my PDA "smartphone" and go back to a Franklin planner. I also chucked my Treo 650 and got a cheap flipphone off of eBay for $40. It's nice to sit in front of my planner and not have to type a password to open it - or worry if it will run out of batteries. I just pull the pen out of the slot and remind myself what it is like to lay ink down on paper. I take all my meeting notes - not worrying how to type an asterisk or a period. My cheap flip phone is also cool. Just flip it open and say the name of the person I want to talk to. No camera, no web browser, no silly rings, no crappy tiny keyboard, no crappy spread sheet and word processor. Ahhhhh - good times, good times. and I don't care much for the new iPhone.
