Life, code, and everything from Brian Arnold

  1. God in the console

    As both a Christian and a gamer, the article on MSNBC entitled God in the console called out to me to be read. I found it through the Internet for Christians newsletter I receive weekly.
    The article discusses some interesting facets of gaming, including the fact that there are a number of Christian games that are [...]

  2. Nostalgic Gaming

    Ah, classic video gaming – games I grew up with, playing in arcades or on home systems, games I will cherish as some of the best gaming ever.
    One thing that I find both fascinating and highly enjoyable is how game companies are playing on the nostalgia of gamers by re-releasing old games, usually bundled together, [...]

  3. A solution to sloth!

    One of the problems with being slothful with a blog in the Movable Type system is that, if you don’t post for a week or two and then someone leaves a comment, it can wipe your front page clean of content, and leave a weird link bar. I love the Movable Type system, and have [...]

  4. Shuffling things up

    For now, I’ve gone back to the default “clean” style sheet for my blog, as it turns out that the “Georgia Blue” theme from MT was causing weird issues in Internet Explorer – mainly, that any content that was longer than my sidebar (which is fairly short in itself) was being cropped off. Sometimes it [...]

  5. Looney Tunes: Back In Action

    For those who are uninformed, I thought I would share that there is a new Looney Tunes cartoon movie in development – Looney Tunes: Back In Action.
    I’m quite excited by this prospect, I must say.

  6. First day of class, last class of degree

    I really need to get off of my butt and update this thing more frequently. I actually have people who stop by and read it now, like Carlos.
    There has been much activity over the past few days, which deserves proper blog coverage, so this post may get quite long. Hopefully they won’t always be this [...]

  7. Nothing wrong with me

    That is, aside from some sloth. I really should update this more often. This week wasn’t terribly eventful once I got the router. Work is work, life goes on. We’re going hiking again tomorrow, which is fun. We’re also going to the Fall Crawl downtown – a venture that is somewhat atypical of us, but [...]

  8. New Router

    I’m writing this entry from my laptop in my living room, and connecting via my new USB 802.11b network adapter from Linksys and my new Belkin Wireless Router/4-port switch. It’s great to be able to connect from anywhere in my house now. While I’m not a giant fan of working on my laptop all the [...]

  9. One awesome day

    Today was a great day. It’s hard to believe that it’s all been just one day though, because it’s been so filled with activity. In some ways, I feel like I need a day off to recover from my day off. Thank the Lord that Sundays are usually a bit more relaxed of a day.
    My [...]

  10. Dental Work Stinks

    Today I had to go and get a series of cavities filled. The dentist that I went to back at the end of last year is apparently quite an awful dentist. He found and filled a few cavities on the right side of my mouth, but missed the entire left side. Therefore, today the cavities [...]

  11. GameSpy on Nintendo

    GameSpy on Nintendo
    This article is all about why Nintendo isn’t nearly as weak as some people seem to think, and it makes some really good points about the strength of the company. As I am quite the fan of Nintendo products in general, I found this article to have some great content, and I definitely [...]

  12. Lots of activity

    I would have to say that of all of the things that I love about the Movable Type system, the one thing I would add to it is some flexibility that I saw in the Typepad beta testing program – primarily, the ability to specify a number of posts to stay on the front page, [...]
