Feeling blue today
As you can see, team wwbd has been hard at work revamping the dump.
I’ve replaced most of the graphics and done some extensive work to the css for the blog. Hopefully you’ll like the scheme better. There will be bugs… things that have been missed in the conversion. If you find any, please let me know.. I’ll fix ’em.
The 3 year anniversary of 9/11 came and went. We spent the day doing what we should be… living life as normal. My wife and I went out on a quick motorcycle ride (75 miles) with my brother-in-law. It was windy as hell, but we had a good time!
Later on Saturday, my neighbors came over for dinner. We made beer butt chicken, which is to die for (seriously!!). Here’s a pic of the birds on the grill (after, of course, the obligatory 2 hours of slow cooking):
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm… good stuff!
Sunday was a day of recuperation (after all the drinks with the good neighbors the night before). I spent most of the day being lazy (well… except when I was working to make this site look better).
Oh… final thought:
I got a copy of the beta for Tribes Vengeance and 3 serial numbers (one for me, one for each of my kids). Man… I like it!
Sure… it’s a beta and I’ve been dumped to the desktop a few times, but it plays pretty damn smooth on all 3 of our machines. Then again… I’ve been playing Tribes since it first came out, so I’m slightly biased.
I am about to give up on FPS multiplayers – I plain suck vapors!
That being said, this Tribes vengeance ain’t too bad, except for the crashy bits.
1about this beer butt chicken – you cook it over an open can of beer?
I’d have picked guinness, except for that plastic capsule thingy enclosed in the can.
2You do a dry rub on the chicken (onion powder, garlic powder, dry mustard, sea salt, paprika and brown sugar), then you insert a 3/4 full 16oz can into it’s … um… butt. Then you slow roast it for 2 hours, spraying it with a mix of apple juice, beer, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar every 10 minutes or so.
Tasty stuff!
Though I’d stay away from the Guinness… that plastic widget (yes… that’s the actual name of the little ball in there) inside might make things taste pretty darn nasty after all the beer cooks off (unless you have another can to pour it in).
And after you’ve posted a comment, I can now see that I still have some editing to do to the css.
3So if you want to use Guiness open the top of the can a bit and take the widget out! Or just pour the Guiness into another can…its not rocket surgery.
