Today it's a really bad cover of "The Way It Is" (originally by Tupac). Rally bad.
I hacked my thumb with a knife on Monday. Cutting a frozen bagel of all things. Worse than the last time I hacked myself cutting a frozen bagel. Maybe you don't want to eat a bagel at my house. It's one of those little injuries that you can't just ignore. Every time I dress myself, eat, or whatever other basic thing I do for the past couple days it's been bugging me.
Damn that's a good song.
The expo floor just closed and Jeff and I made it out at the front of the wave of people heading for the doors. In the last few minutes we did get to talk to a few more exhibitors we hadn't seen yesterday.
There was a talk given yesterday by Rosanna Sun about the benefits of working with a Hollywood production company. I took some notes and mixed it up with some of my opinion. I wish I had time to write up more, but we have to do lunch. Anyway, here's some of what I've got...
I just wanted to add a little more about things said during the State of Wireless session. Oliver Miao (CEO of Centerscore) had a good point. To paraphrase, he said that people are lazy, if they have a cell phone in their pocket that they can play games on, they will. Even if they have a Playstation 3 at home, the cell phone is right there. I think this is a huge reason for the wireless game market to even exist. The limits on the hardware and the fees that a user incurs make it a bad platform for someone to choose when they think about playing a video game.
The State of The Mobile Industry talk just wrapped up at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. It was informative with some of the encouraging this-is-just-the-beginning pep talk, but not too much. The focus (at least from the time we arrived) was on the cell phone market.
Okay, so now I'm one of those guys at the airport that collect around the AC outlets to get some juice for their notebook computers. I've got no issues with that.
There are some great write-ups over on Wonderland about Second Life and some of the talks that have gone on at GDC already.
As for me, Jeff and I pretty much have plans firmed up. I can't wait - I fly out tomorrow night.
Blender 3d has just put out a new release. The release notes state that version 2.36 is all about fixing bugs. I see a couple of new features listed in there as well, though.
