Past win, Greg the bunny dvd

This is the greg the bunny dvd I won in June. The sweepstakes was a daily entry sweepstakes.

I had not heard of greg the bunny before I stared entering the sweepstakes for the greg the bunny dvd, but I entered the sweepstakes anyway. I have not watched the dvd yet, but I want to.

CameSpace

I read a post on make magazines blog about camSpace a program that allows you to use a web cam to play video games. I have not used cameSpace yet so I am not sure if my web cam will work. I am not sure if my web cam will work because my web cam is also my digital camera.

To make my digital camera into a web cam all I need to do is screw in a part to the bottom of my camera. The part allows my camera to sit on my computer or any flat surface. I hope my web cam works because cameSpace sure seems like it would be fun.

Game studio

On about.com c/c++ David Bolton has a post about a program called game studio. The program is used for developing video games. I want to try the program, but have not download it yet. I hope to download the free version of game studio soon.

I always write that I want to create video games, but I never think about what kind of video games I want to make, plus I have not even made a video game yet unless I count a simple game I made with blender. I need to make a video game.

A flash game tutorial I want to complete

I read this ars technica article about Kongregate Labs having a tutorial showing how to make a game in flash. I thought great I want to do the tutorial, but I don't have flash so I was disappointed until I read in the article about open source tools to do the tutorial.

I can't wait to do the flash tutorial because I have never done any flash. I am also anxious to see if I can get all the tools to do the tutorial set up right. I'll just have to do the tutorial and hope everything works.

Some perl websites

Yesterday I looked through my Perl bookmarks folder so today I want to write about some Perl links I found. So here I go. Oh yeah I originally got most if not all of the websites from about.com perl.

I found an article about developing games in Perl from ars technica. I forgot about the article until I found it yesterday. I probably was excited when I first bookmarked this article, but sadly I have not made a game in Perl.

Some other websites I have bookmarked that I think are interesting are perl name script generator, Graphical vi-Vim cheat sheet, perlMonks and Perl.org. I wish I would have learned Perl, but I didn't, Oh well.

Goal #15 Browser Bookmarks

I want to clean out my bookmarks because I have way to many. It seems like I have bookmarked every website I have ever been to. I bookmark a lot of sites because I think someday I might need the information on a website.

That system of bookmarking websites does not work so well for me. I have so many bookmarks I don't know what websites I have bookmarked. I bookmark a website and never go back to it because there are just to many bookmarks. I put the bookmarks in folders, but that does not help either.

SO I want to look thought all of my bookmarks and the websites I like I want to put on my blog, either write a post about the website or put a link to it in favorite sites.

The Rdtrocomputing Museum

I've been cleaning out my browser favorites today and I found a website I like. I knew I had the website bookmarked, but I always forget about it. Anyway the websites name is The Retrocomputing Museum.

About.com python had a link to an article on Linux Journal called Why Python and in the article there is a link to the Retrocomputing Museum, that is how I found the retrocomputing museum.

The retrocomputing museum is one of my favorite sites because of all the old programming languages it has. I just love programming languages. One of my favorite languages on the site is INTERCAL. I have not written any source code in INTERCAL, but some day I want to give it a try. The website also has some interesting articles that I want to read eventually.

C++ scripting language

In doctor Dobb's report there was a link to a post written by Christopher Diggins on Dr. Dobb's Code Talk about C++ script. When I saw the post I thought wow someone made a C++ scripting language cool, I want to try C++ script. Maybe some day I will get around to trying C++ script.

Bedroom Wall Posters

I read a post on about.com exotic cars written by Kristen Hall-Geisler called Bedrom exotics. The article talks a little bit about wall posters, that post gave me the idea to write about some of the bedroom wall posters I had.

I had a couple of posters of Ferrari's and Lamborghini's. I can't remember what models the cars were.

The sports posters are the ones I remember the best. I had a few posters of basketball players, Chris Webber when he was with the golden state warriors, Charles Barkley when he was with the Phoenix suns, two posters of Michael Jordan one poster was regular sized, but the other poster could almost cover my bedroom door it must have been 3 or 4 feet long.

I had a few wall posters of football players. One was Joe Montana when he was with the Kansas city chiefs and the other poster was of Troy Aikman of the Dallas Cowboys.

I don't have bedroom wall posters anymore. I am not sure why I took down all my posters, but I did. Maybe someday I will hang the posters back up, or even buy some new posters.

Reading

I read two articles about speed reading so I want to write about reading today. The fist article Speed Read is from wired by Emily Saso and the second article is from wiseBread and is written by Lindsey Knerl it's a review of the book The complete idiot's guide to speed reading.

When I was younger I didn't read a books for pleasure, I read books because they were school assignments. I probably finished the reading assignments, but I am sure I disliked reading those books and would rather have been watching T.V or playing video games

I did read sports Illustrated and the sports section of the news paper, but I wish I would have also read fiction and non fiction so I could learn about something other than sports.

It was about a decade ago when I started reading books for pleasure. I am still not a fast reader and I need to look up big words in the dictionary, but now I enjoy reading.

One problem I had with reading was I thought I had to remember every word in a sentence and I read very slow for awhile. Now I don't worry about remembering everything and that works much better.

I still read books although now I do most of my reading on my computer. I read blogs and websites and also some books that I download as PDF's.

Small basic programming language

I read an article on Digg about the small basic programming language for windows. Small basic looks like fun and I want to try it, but I have not had time to use it. I wanted to write about small basic on my blog so I remember to try small basic otherwise I might forget about it.

Commodore Basic programming language

A couple of days ago I saw a post on lifehacker by Jackson West about commodore basic. I want to try commodore basic, but I have not installed it on my computer yet. I am not sure if I will be able to make anything interesting once I do download and install it, but I will try commodore basic anyway because I like trying different programming languages.

The end of November

I can't believe it's the end of November already. I entered all my monthly sweepstakes today. Yesterday I went through all the one entries ending to day and entered the ones that had prizes I want.

It's a lot of work to enter all the sweepstakes I want to enter at the end of the month, but after I am finished entering the sweepstakes I feel great.

In November I had three wins. I won 5 greeting cards at the beginning of the month. I also won a 3M race day credential holder and The Cosby show on DVD. I hope next month is as good as this month for sweepstakes wins.

I got my cosby show dvd set

Yesterday I got the Cosby show DVDs I won on November 18. I was not expecting the DVDs to arrive so soon, they arrived in 10 days, Wow that is fast.
