My cashier days are almost over!

Firstly, yes. I've been a bad boy and haven't blogged in over a week. So sue me :-P.

Anyhoo, as the title so clearly states I will no longer be a cashier at Wal-Mart the day after tomorrow. That's right, I've been fired :-(. Just kidding, ha ha! I'm being moved over into the "overstock manager" job and my first day is Saturday starting a 4am :-) (yeah, that's a close paren, not a P). I'm looking forward to it because now I will be able to spend the rest of the day at home doing whatever which'll be nice. I should probbaly use some of that time to clean and organize my desk :-P.

My emulator is coming along pretty sweet. Metroid and Mario are basically completely playable, but Zelda and Stinger are still having some scrolling problems. I'll be looking into these as soon as I'm done with a new project that's come up.

My Uncle Dave (hey dude :-D) was kind enough to give me his old Handspring Visor (circa 1999) which will now be my new programming toy. The only app I have in mind at the moment is a bowling scoring thing which I will take to, duh, bowling. If I ever get proficient enough I'd even like to try to get it graphing averages and such, which'd be cool. I may also try to write a game or two for it (NES emu perhaps?). We'll just have to see.

I can now say I've done everything, including playing Doom on my iPod. Yes, last week I put Linux on my iPod (because I could) and played Doom (because it was there). However, it seemed to be borking up my music so I uninstalled it and now it's back to it's music playing goodness. I even bought 23 tracks worth of SpongeBob stuff off of iTunes yesterday and also the Hitchhiker's theme (originally performed by the Eagles for you old timers out there). I've been getting into listening to podcasts as well, my favorites being this WEEK in TECH, RevoGaming.net (the place where my bro "works"), and Diggnation (gotta love Kevin Rose).

I've been re-envisioning my site design again (some things die hard, let's face it). This time, however, I'd integrate my blog into the design. Also, I've had an idea for a cartoon about Goldy and the 3 Bears (old-skool style), but we'll see where that goes.

Well, I believe I have sufficiently updated you all on the ins and outs of my life at this point. Just remember, if you vote for Pedro your wildest dreams will come true :-).
