Caught In The Whirlwind
Random Happenings
I’ve got a few things to report about since my last update.
First of all, I think I’ve finally settled on a basic color scheme/design for my mom’s quilting/craft website. I’m still tweaking it at the moment and I’m trying to decide if it looks too…web 2.0-y for the craft content. But I finally found something I liked well enough to take it out of the initial planning stages. Going to see if I can get some more work in on it during my lunch here.
It’s a good thing that’s getting finalized too since one of the first projects in the Digital Typography course that I’m taking is to do a business card/letterhead/envelope for something, so I figure I can work her up some stationary while I’m at it. The course is coming along quite well. We’ve finally started working on the computer and with InDesign which I’m finding pretty cool. I’m learning some stuff and generally enjoying myself which is a pretty good sign. I’m not regretting the decision to go back to school.
On a totally different note, I got a little bored yesterday and continued my blog transfer. I’ve got everything that I’ve posted on Vox from when I signed up through November 2006. Once I get out of 2006 the months will speed up as I settled into more relaxed posting style.
Lastly, on a product review front: The new Muse album has REALLY grown on me since I posted my initial review. The weaker songs clicked and it’s become one of my favorite albums of the year. Which only serves to diminish the Porcupine Tree album more…Oh well. I’ve also been enjoying Scribblenauts. But I’ll save that for a separate post when I get a minute to do a proper review.

I’m excited for Scribblnauts, but I was worried I’d get bored with it quickly. I didn’t like Starfy which I understand is like Kirby.

I can see it being possible to get bored with Scribblenauts if you get into a rut, using the same objects to get the job done.
Half the fun of the game is trying out crazy crap and seeing if it’ll work or if the game has the object you’re trying to conjure up. They also encourage you trying different ways of solving the same puzzle. Once you finish one of the puzzles you can go back into it in “advanced mode” which basically means you have to solve the same puzzle 3 more times, but you can’t use any of the objects you used on a previous try.
Like say the puzzle is getting a cat out of a tree. Your first attempt in advance mode you can use anything, so “fireman” work. But the second attempt you are disallowed from using “fireman”.
I’m enjoying it. The first 2 worlds of puzzles are pretty easy, but the difficulty ramps up pretty good starting in world 3.
