I guess we're just going to skip Spring completely here in Albany.  6-10 inches of snow are predicted to fall tomorrow and Friday.  I hope it is an April Fools joke.  Tucson has been in the 80's.

I made this today.

Somehow, some way, spring finally got here.  Though summer is the best time of the year, spring taught me to appreciate summer and understand what winter does to a person.

The logo changes with the seasons.  See?  Now the twig has some leaves and the snow has melted.  Maybe we'll get some new ones with cactus instead.

It will be cooler this week than the past week but a few warm days with some direct sunlight really made a big difference for me.

Erin and I will be moving to Tucson, Arizona this summer.  Maybe I can get some sleep now.

We'll find out on Thursday.

Get well soon.

I'll be streaming some video games on Saturday at around 5 PM eastern time.  Two players, two microphones.  Come join us but language may be adult rated.  Click on the media/justin.tv link up at the top of this page.

I specifically remember the first time I saw the game box.  It was around 2002 or 2003.  Netflix wasn't really a thing yet and we all had to go to the Blockbuster or the "blue place" equivalent to rent a movie.  Always for too much money.  A game rental from Blockbuster was around $8 at one point.  Where if I thought I would rent something twice, I would probably also rent it a third time and therefore it would be worth buying used somewhere.

I bought the GameCube on the day it was released.  I didn't really plan on doing it but at the time I was working at a PetCo that shared a parking lot with a Target.  That morning, I dropped into Target to get that day's lunch before there was a crowd and saw the "new GameCubes here" sign.  I casually walked up and asked if they had any.  They said that they had just a few more but only the black ones.  I bought it, put it in the back of my car, and worked the rest of the day.  I remember getting home and sitting down and then remembering that I just bought one.  I must have forgotten because I sure didn't plan on buying a new video game system that day.  Either way, it was the last time Nintendo had a competitively fast system on the market.  And it didn't last long.

I have been playing through Cubivore on justin.tv at nights after work.  Come on over and join us.
