OK, you know those IQ test ads that pop-up all around Facebook? Well, whilst checking out my hockey team in Hockey Tycoon (which may very well over take Mafia Wars as my favorite Facebook game, this ad came up…
What’s odd here is that, the first picture is Abbe, the second is her sister Rachel, her sister Emily’s pregnant belly, and then her brother’s girlfriend Mal. The captions below each picture kill me.
Some good news, Sage and I are moving forward with the FlashGameFever.com design, look for the flash game arcade to launch after the weekend most likely. I’ll be using Mochiads for the first time, pretty psyched to work with their engine. Lowgrove Farm will be live very soon as well, the owner is very pleased with the design that Liv and I came up with. I will be working on a Macon, GA pediatrician’s website in the next week or two thanks to a referral/sale by Liv as well. What does all this mean? Well, the checks haven’t started coming in yet, but I will most likely be able to cut back to partial unemployment very soon (and maybe even come completely off too). I’m right around the corner from really doing this. The furiousCMS that I started developing with Climate Skateboards (and subsequent modifications with the Wheelies redesign) is really making this happen. I’ll write more about this tomorrow or the next day, I need to head out the door to meet with Bill from Dixon Hill to get crackin’ on theFamilyRegistry.com.
Witness for the Prosectuion – I really wasn’t that impressed with this Agatha Christie film, it was OK, the characters were good, and I really liked Marlene Dietrich, but Tyrone Power’s overacting would have made William Shatner blush.
Bubs had his first day of summer camp and Viv had her first day of 5 year old swim yesterday, they both did awesome. Viv did her jump off the dock and then spent the rest of the day jumping into the water to Abbe (like about 4 hours of jumping in and swimming). I’m surprised Abbe didn’t have a Viv-print on her when they got back from 3 Beach.
On top of that, LarryMac stopped by with Bub’s new Haro BMX bike! Bubs and I took a ride together and Bubs really dug the new wheels. Here’s some pictures of all that stuff I was blabbing about…
Check out how cool my friends areā¦
Whilst cruising around Google Reader, I found out that my good buddy, Houston, has had his children’s book, Dozer the Destructor published! You should all go buy a copy, stat. I’m going to request a copy from my library in hopes they will order it and put it on their shelves, I think you should too.
The Lowgrove Farm page is nearly done, just need a few final tweaks and it’s launch time baby. I put together a draft of FlashGameFever.com, a site I’m partnering with Sage of Sageth.com fame that will be using a slick feed of flash games, more on that later (image of draft below)…
Van’s party was awesome… the kids were all so well behaved and most importantly, Bubs really had a great time… and here are the pictures! Be sure to enjoy the Viv gallery… she apparently took my iPhone for a photographic journey around the backyard…
Save a Buck : Summer Discounts at the Movies – thanks Mom! I swear I’m not reading AARP, but this is a sweet tip for any families (or seniors) looking to save some money this summer. Free movies and all-you-can eat popcorn sounds good to me!
The Video Bay – a possible YouTube competitor brought to you by the Pirate Bay, featuring my favorite Beta launch caveat ever “Don’t expect anything to work at all.”
I’ll keep this short today because my son, Van Jr. is 8 years old today. Thank you Bubba for teaching me so much and making me laugh. I love you champ, all my heart, always.
Pictures from the Battleship Blast… boy, we had fun. The Phillie Phanatic was there, there were folks from the Flyers, live music (on top of one of the turrets which must have been cool for the musicians), there were Wii games set up, food, a couple of ladies from the Sixers Dance Team, fireworks, and for the first time in 20 years, they fired the 5″ guns (which was the encore to the fireworks and WHOA they were loud!)…
