Same ugly blog, only prettier

Sunday, August 29th, 2004

Don’t be alarmed by the sudden change of the appearance of this blog. I decided to pick another default template to use, and will hopefully be getting around to learning enough CSS to be able to customize it a little. I was getting really tired of the right-justified link column. And yes, I know I need to add more links; I’m just too lazy to do it right now.

My new unhealthy obsession

Sunday, August 29th, 2004

As opposed to my healthy obsession, a Mango-A-Go-Go juice from Jamba Juice. On a 90° day like today, it tastes oh so good.

The unhealthy obsession is this little joystick you can connect to your TV from Jakks TV Games. These things (there are several) include some of the arcade classics. Today, I bought a Namco one, which includes Ms. Pac Man, Galaxian, and Pole Position, among others. If you’re an old-school gamer like me, this is a lot of fun. And on sale at Target this week for $16. The only drawback to these things is that they’re designed for right-handed people. So if you’re a lefty, like me, be prepared for some difficult maneuvering.
