Long Division, Emulators and Ninjas

So I loaded up a Super NES emulator that I had on my computer earlier this week and I have to say that I miss some of the games that I played as a kid! I've been spending the majority of time that I play on a little known game called Aerobiz. It involves you running an airline and setting up routes and buying planes. I used to stay up to all hours of the night playing it with Eddie Stairs back in the day, he and Josh Harris are the only other people I know of who have even heard of it. But if you like simulations you definitely need to check it out. (Don't worry I have been playing NHL '94 too!)

I found a pretty sweet band the other day as I was cruising PureVolume. They are called Mute Math and they are definitely worth a look. They have a very unique sound that is very catchy. You need to watch some of the videos that they have up on PureVolume, especially the one for their instrumental song Reset. Their drummer is definitely sweet.

Finally, I became aware of, yet another, must visit site. The site, askaninja.blogspot.com, has some very funny videos about Ninjas and their way of life. I swear that the Ninja guy is Ben Stiller, at least that's who he reminds me of.

I was thinking today about how easy it can be to become popular on the internet. Things get around so fast now that if you have something that is any good, everyone hears about it. However internet fame is shorter lived then other types of fame...maybe the should change the saying "15 minutes of fame" to something like "50 page views of fame"...or something.

Jon,

I can't believe you haven't heard of Mute Math before now? They have been around for two or more years. They are definitely a sweet band with a very unique sound!

Mute Math used to be known as Earthsuit, I think.

In the biz, those page visits are known as "hits". So it could be your "100 hits of fame". That's pretty catchy.

Future line from gritty cop show about a witness who's enjoying his spotlight in the media:

"Alright, Kryzinski, you've had your 100 hits. Now you gotta pay the piper."

Oh yeah.

Warrior said...

Jon--I need new music and I need some now. You are my only hope. You know me. Suggest something you would think I would like and I'll check it out
