It was a nice fall day a couple days ago. I really enjoyed this sight, in my backyard. \ud83d\ude42 Quite overcast and dull, the last couple of days, though.

Games<\/h3>\n

I updated my About<\/a> page with my Tetris Party<\/a> friend code. (Add me!!) It’s pretty fun, but I say that as someone who has never owned a Tetris game before, so I’m not a Tetris vet… (unlike Shirley and Alex, who think the DS game is far superior, apparently). My only real complaint with the game so far is the music – they could have done AWESOME things with it. I want a hoppin 8bit remix of these classic tunes… the included midi, even the classic stuff, is pretty dry and slow. Need something with a faster pace. The computer moves at seemingly impossible speeds at levels above 12, but I suspect that some people out there can play like that, as well. Scary. (Especially the top ranked in the Americas, Java AI<\/em> … hmmm…) Anyway, I can’t beat level 13 yet. And I think I still like Dr Mario<\/a> for VS more… so fun. … but Tetris Party offers tonnes of modes, including 4-player vs! That’s pretty cool. Maybe I’ll become a Tetris snob, yet.<\/p>\n

While on the topic of Wii(Ware), I also got World of Goo<\/a>. It’s a really great physics based puzzle title. I really love the dark and comical graphic design (reminds me of Tim Burton’s stuff). The music in Goo is epic, as well. I can’t believe everything<\/em> was made by two guys (+1 for Wii optimizations); two guys in debt! They’re my heroes. Seriously. Both Tetris Party<\/em> and World of Goo<\/em> are the most expensive games on WiiWare ($12 US, $15 US, respectively), but I haven’t been disappointed. And with Goo especially, I don’t have any problem supporting the little guys making great stuff. That’s where I’d like to be. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

WordPress<\/h3>\n

I updated my wp-upgrade script<\/a> to display a big warning to deactivate all your plugins before continuing (wouldn’t want to damage your database!). Then I used it to update to WordPress 2.6.3<\/a>. I think that makes me largely up-to-date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
