Lately I’ve been going to the gym in the mornings before I go to work. It’s a change of pace compared to when I would go only during the weekends. I’m doing this because I need to work out more and spread each session out across the whole week. Things were going great for a while but lately it’s been a big challenge as the heater automatically turns on while I’m there. I don’t know if the thermostat is still set to the winter season or if they are trying to get me to leave, but man does it get HOT.
The gym is actually kind of small and includes only about ten exercise machines, so the room heats up pretty quickly; and to top it off, the vents for the heater are basically right above and behind the machines I use that it feels like the maintenance crew is sneaking in and placing a large industrial size heater behind me when I’m not looking so they can cause me great agony and turn me into a puddle of sweat. But on the bright side, I guess all that heat helps to burn calories faster, so take that, thermostat of hate.
Many years ago when I was going to college (probably 11 or 12 years ago), I went to the computer lab to work on a project. When I sat down at an open computer, I noticed someone left a floppy disk in the drive. After logging into Windows I checked the floppy to see what was on it. There was nothing but one small video file. This is what I saw:
I had (and still have) no idea what it was, but it was pure magic. I just found a copy of it on an old hard drive and decided to share it with the world. Extreme video compressions and all!
It’s cool to see that 1up is back online. Not that there’s any new content, but at least we can access the nearly ten years’ worth of previews, reviews, and blogs again.
My favorite part of 1up is the cover stories -- especially the articles written by James Mielke.
I was planning to release my backup copies of these cover stories on to my website because it looked like the 1up website was never coming back online, so I figured I should at least post what I had of it. But lo and behold it came back! If you’ve never been there, I highly recommend checking it out.
Hopefully they plan to get the videos back up, too (but I doubt it).
Amazon sure does have a sense of humor. Earlier today I visited their website, and lo and behold, their homepage had the layout and design from the 1990s. Actually it wasn’t functional -- just an image. Once you clicked it, the actual homepage appears. That Jeff Bezos, what a card.
I went there because I just found out there’s an official DVD that documents the Attitude era of WWE (or WWF, whatever you prefer). This was my favorite era and was happy to discover that something like this actually exists. Then I saw the number of poor reviews for it and was quickly disappointed. This is all thanks to this weeks Giant Bombcast where they were talkin’ a whole lotta wrestlin'. They actually caught my attention when they noted how the WWE Network is going to have a host of new shows, including an animated short from Seth Green. I might actually check this network out since it’s only $10 a month with no contract. No foolin’!
Recent IRL stuff has been keeping me from posting regularly on this website. Apologies if anyone actually checks this site from time to time for new content. Should be back in about a week.
