See that sorta lime-green screen there? Today, coworker Shane Anthony pulled that out of a computer case shoved beneath one of the many empty desks in our bureau.

You probably don’t recognize it, but that, my friends, is a laptop computer. A Tandy 1100FD. It goes back to the early 90s or so, though you’ll notice a 1989 load date in one of the photos above.

This little machine provided a good 15 minutes of solid, nostalgic entertainment during a short break at work today. The Tandy didn’t appear to have any functionality beyond word processing capabilities. It had a couple basic programs but required one insert a floppy disk for them to work.

Its computer case included a telephone cord that supposedly gave it access to……wait for it……wait for it……..the INTERNET! Apparently, the Tandy also could connect to a cellular line, though we weren’t what kind of cell phone. One of those big suckers you stored in your car?

Shane there took a photo of our new friend, Tandy, with his iPhone, which is hilarious if you think about it.

Hard to believe anyone actually used the Tandy to file stories from the field.

One of the Tandy’s great features, though, was its keyboard, which is incredibly responsive to the touch of your fingers.  No stickiness whatsoever. It’s probably the best keyboard I’ve ever used.

They sure don’t make them like they used to. And when it comes to the Tandy, they don’t make them at all.

The Butchertown Neighborhood Association has sent out an e-mail blasting Metro Council President David Tandy for supporting a resolution that asks JBS to keep its meat processing plant in Butchertown. Tandy has supported moving the plant. I talked to him about this conflict. Here’s the report from WFPL:

The Louisville Metro Council could take action during its meeting Thursday to encourage the JBS company to keep its controversial meat processing plant in its current location.

Many residents of the Butchertown neighborhood have complained about the noise and odor generated by the plant. The council will vote on a non-binding resolution that asks JBS to keep the plant and its 13-hundred jobs in the neighborhood.

The resolution has bipartisan support, perhaps most notably from Council President David Tandy, who has been working with the company to look for a new site in Jefferson County.  Tandy says he’s still interested in seeing the plant move, but jobs take top priority.   If the plant can’t be relocated, Tandy says it could be upgraded to address Butchertown residents’ concerns.

“There’s language in there that wants them to stay in that location. My position has always been: I want to make sure those jobs stay here in Jefferson County. If they say in that current location, then we need to make sure the residents in that area, it creates a win-win for everyone,” he says. ”You can create meat processing facilities that aren’t like your grandfather’s meat processing facilities, where those facilities can peacefully coexist in a residential neighborhood.”

Tandy says if the plant cannot be moved elsewhere in the county, he would like JBS to make upgrades to make the plant quieter and cleaner.

Mission of Mercy Free Dental Clinic in Tolland

A free dental day will be held Wednesday in Southington as a part of the local dentist association’s continued initiative to help uninsured residents maintain good oral health.

The free dental days have been held about once a month since May when Dr. Ted Zdeblick officially revived the program.

Zdeblick had originally started holding free dental days 10 years ago when Connecticut experienced its last recession. His residency at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford made him more aware of the fact that there was a need for this type of work.

O Brasil acaba de ser escolhido o país sede das Olímpiadas 2016 , concorrendo com Tóquio, Chigago e Madri, Rio de Janeiro foi a escolha do Comitê Olípimpico.

Bem vindo a uma final olímpica!”

Tande – ex-jogador de vôlei que acompanhou a cobertura da votação da cidade que seria sede nas Olímpiadas em 2016, na Rede Globo.

The C-J has posted three quick blurbs about Metro Council members holding public events.

First you can wake up with 12th District Councilman Rick Blackwell, who has invited his constituents to coffee.

Then you can have lunch with Council President and mayoral candidate David Tandy, who is sponsoring the Willie B. Bright community barbecue.

That night you can head over to Hill Street Missionary Baptist Church for 3rd District Democrat Mary Woolridge’s town hall meeting.

As the countdown to Downsizing 2009 continues, tempers are flaring and I have been both privy to much back-stabbing and the beneficiary of mucho sucking up. It hasn’t been pretty, but good goddamn it has been extremely entertaining.

As witnessed at yesterday’s lunch with Carly, Diane, Melina, Tandy, and the diminutive Tremulous Cameo.

“Eric told me that if I get cut, I’ll be able to get Section 8 housing which is really cheap and they can’t kick me and the baby out and stuff ’cause I’m a mom with no job so then he can move in with us and we can save money for a house of our own,” Tandy rambled on between bites of her fully loaded cheesy curly fries. “Which would be good ’cause then we can get the high speed internet. Eric likes that to play World of Warcraft.”

I bit my tongue at the teen welfare queen’s total lack of ethics.

Tremulous Cameo, however, did not.

“You are setting a very bad example for your daughter, Tandy,” the Korean dwarf said, jabbing the air with an impeccably manicured Vienna sausage index finger. “Do you want her grow up to think that it is society’s responsibility to take care of her because she makes poor choices?”

Tandy stared at Cameo with her big, dumb Bambi eyes, her face conveying no sense of comprehension at all.

“You need to have some self respect, girl!” Tremulous C was on a roll now. She had gotten up on her knees on her chair and was leaning across the table on her ill-proportioned elbows, giving it to Tandy straight — no chaser. “Your daughter is going to think ‘Why should I listen to my mama? She always takes the easy way out’ and once that happens, she’s gonna wind up like you: pregnant, stupid, and no prospects.”

Ouch.

Speech over, Tremulous C manuevered her way back to a sitting position and used her freaky T-Rex arms to grab her diet soda and take a long swig. “You know what you need to do?” she asked.

Tandy shook her head, never taking her eyes off the diminutive orator.

“You need to go to church. You had a baby out of wedlock and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ doesn’t like that.”

Carly and I exchanged one of our knowing glances. This one said “Know what else our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ doesn’t like? Preachers who kill their hookers.”

“Yeah, well I don’t like to go to church,” Tandy said in her airy-fairy off the cuff manner, “and I don’t think Jesus likes you living with Joe and having sex if you’re not married and that’s worse than me ’cause you do go to church…”

Point and match.

Well played, welfare queen, well played.

8664 Co-Founder Tyler Allen is running for Mayor of Louisville.

So far, the candidates are:

Democrats:

• Tyler Allen
• Metro Council President David Tandy
• Metro Councilman Jim King
• Businessman Greg Fischer
• West Louisville resident Connie Marshall

Republicans:

• Developer/Activist Chris Thieneman

Independent:

• Coffee shop owner, professor Nimbus Couzin

Still Rumored:

• Republican Metro Councilman Hal Heiner – a decision is coming soon.
• Republican Metro Councilman Doug Hawkins – this is unlikely.

The Democratic primary is close to–or has reached–a critical mass. It’s likely now that candidates will begin splitting certain votes. For example, progressives may be torn between Fischer and Allen. There’s no runoff, so it’s possible the winning candidate will have only 26% of the vote.

A few people have asked why The Edit hasn’t posted any speculation about the mayoral race recently. Well, we don’t want to mislead anyone. But, with another candidate in the Mayor’s race, we’ll offer this.

Jim King made his announcement today with a PR firm (Tandem) behind him. He had a video crew record my interview with him and he’s clearly ready to sink a lot of money into this campaign.

Greg Fischer and David Tandy do not have as slick of campaigns as King…yet, but King’s entrance could put everyone into high gear for fundraising early on.

On the Republican side, Steve Pence is still an option, and Dan Seum said Doug Hawkins could fulfill his promise to run in State Sen. Seum’s steed. Hawkins would have to work hard to get the support he needs, and Pence may not want to give up his successful current career to run for a municipal office.

The GOP could also be working on choosing a candidate behind the scenes. With at least three Democrats battling it out in a primary, a unified Republican front could launch after Labor Day and smoothly sail until the general election campaign begins. This move would also save the Republican candidate significant energy and money by preventing a high-profile primary. It’s a smart political move, but it’s also risky; the public won’t have the chance to weed out a candidate they don’t like, and instead of losing a primary early on, the candidate loses the election much later.

However…The Republican candidate would have to compete with the media attention given to the contested Democratic primary.

It could be argued that the early start to the campaign will instill a fatigue in voters, and everyone will be tired of hearing about the candidates by the time the election comes around. I think the idea of voter fatigue is something that gets a lot of coverage, but doesn’t really exist.

C.D. Kaplan (who appears on our sister station WFPK every week) has a blog post up criticizing city officials and the Cordish Company for the sports bar project in 4th Street Live.

Cordish got a forgivable loan to renovate a bowling alley and isn’t keen on saying how the money was spent. A group of city officials–including Metro Council President and Mayoral Candidate David Tandy–went to Cordish’s Baltimore headquarters to investigate, and came up with even more secrets. (Kaplan says the trip was on the taxpayer’s dime, but Tandy’s assistant told me the President paid for his own ticket. I’m not sure about the others).

This part of Kaplan’s post jumped out at me:

…the five — Mike Norman, Bruce Traughber, David Morris, Ellis Shipley and mayoral wannabe David Tandy — signed away any power they might have had . . .  to do anything whatsoever. They put their John Hancocks on an airtight confidentiality agreement that includes indemnification clauses and penalty clauses and a draft of how Mike Norman’s final report to Abramson should read.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention, they agreed that the information was not subject to the state’s Open Records Laws.

That is not a typo. Before they even got to look at the scraps of “information” that Cordish revealed as a “courtesy,” the Five Stooges had to agree on what and how they would report to our mayor. And that nobody could demand to see the results of the “audit.” Such as they are. Not even the mayor. Nor we the lenders.

We’ve been saying this for months. Privatization frequently removes from government-funded projects the oversight mechanisms such as regulation, open records laws and even certain Constitutional protections for workers. It can also save tons of money, so there’s not usually much argument (or need for argument) about these types of projects until something like this Cordish debacle comes up.

There’s talk of Council legislation that will require the records of city-funded projects to be open. With this situation fresh in many Council member’s minds, I imagine that the resolution will be fairly popular.

Metro Council President David Tandy’s mayoral campaign will have at least two familiar politicos working behind the scenes. Jim Cauley, who worked with Barack Obama’s senate campaign and Steve Beshear’s gubernatorial campaign will be Tandy’s senior advisor. Former Kentucky Democratic Party Chair Jennifer Moore will be the Tandy campaign’s treasurer.

And then there were two…Democratic candidates for Metro Mayor.

Metro Council President David Tandy will run for mayor. He’ll face businessman Greg Fischer (and maybe others) in a primary.

WFPL’s coverage of the candidates:

A rundown of the potential competitors

An independent enters the race

Dan Seum steps out

Tandy’s recent trip to Baltimore to investigate Cordish’s spending didn’t cause the stir many observers were expecting. But nonetheless, he can tie his declaration to another news item…for better or for worse.

Here’s Metro Councilman Jim King’s statement on running in Abramson’s stead. Stephanie caught up with Council President David Tandy earlier today:

“I would like to congratulate Governor Steve Beshear for selecting one of America’s outstanding leaders, Mayor Jerry Abramson, to join his ticket for the 2011 Governor’s election. Whoever succeeds Mayor Abramson as the next Mayor of Louisville has large shoes to fill.  He has earned our respect and gratitude for his commitment to Louisville these last 25 years.

Over the past few weeks, as it grew increasingly clear that Mayor Abramson would be joining Governor Steve Beshear’s ticket, I have been encouraged by family, friends and respected leaders in our community to seriously consider running for Mayor in 2010.

Today is not the time for an announcement about my own political future, but it is certainly the time for our community to begin a discussion about how we move Louisville forward, particularly in these tough economic times. Now is also the beginning of what should be a great debate about what type of leader can best manage one of America’s largest cities and provide the vision for a Greater Louisville.

I look forward to participating in that debate and expect to make an announcement about my plans in the coming weeks.”

Did you watch the All-Star game on TV on Tuesday? Did you notice the softball field next to the stadium? Well, that was originally supposed to be a giant, multi-purpose entertainment and business complex called Ballpark Village. It was to be developed by the Baltimore-based Cordish Company, which is also behind 4th Street Live and Center City (when it happens).

Cordish isn’t solely, or even chiefly, responsible for Ballpark Village’s perpetual delay. But, the company’s involvement in the project provides a good excuse to bring up this hours-old news item. Metro Council President David Tandy is asking for some answers from Cordish. Tandy wants Cordish to say how it spent $950,000 on renovations to a bowling alley in 4th Street Live.

He writes:

While I believe that Fourth Street Live has been a successful venture for our community it is important for the Cordish Company, and for that matter any other company or entity that receives public funds to clearly demonstrate how taxpayer dollars are being used. There is serious public concern over the use of the $950,000 loan that funded the renovation of this recent project.

Development isn’t really something governments do themselves, so parternships with private entities are the norm. But this does raise questions of trust, and how much control governments should be willing to give up. How much control governments should have is an entirely different debate.

The enormous task of setting smart grid standards has been at the top of the industry’s list for months. Now there’s a similar type of effort underway for data specifically related to monitoring solar. An industry group dubbed the SunSpec Alliance will officially launch on Tuesday at the Intersolar North America conference, where it will detail its plan to set standards for representing basic solar information, such as current, voltage and temperature, starting with the Modbus protocol for devices such as inverters, meters and other measurement devices.

The new group is made up of firms particularly interested in managing and monitoring solar data. It includes renewable energy-monitoring company Fat Spaniel; inverter manufacturer SMA; solar project developer Nautilus Solar Energy; Veris Industries, which makes energy and environmental sensors; and Campbell Scientific, which makes monitoring and measurement instruments.

The problem the group hopes to fix is that most renewable energy-monitoring products collect the same information, but report it in different ways. The networks are custom-engineered, which is fine if customers are building a large, centralized plant, but a major hassle if they’ve got different-sized plants scattered all over the place, said Tom Tansy, vice president of marketing for Fat Spaniel. According to him, the lack of standards sometimes leads to project delays as –- just as customers are ready to flip the switch –- tests make it clear that some of the equipment may not work well together. “The outcry among customers has been pretty loud,” he said.

While many standardization efforts are already underway, notably the NIST’s smart grid effort, so far they’ve been largely focused on the utility industry, said Tansy. The SunSpec Alliance, on the other hand, is focusing on open standards targeted specifically at renewable energy components in an effort to help them interact with IT systems. Tansy says the group plans to participate in the smart-grid standards process at the federal level and that “the time was right to put our two cents in.”

It makes sense for companies with a stake in the industry to get involved in the discussion. Standards can effectively choose winners and losers, as some technologies aren’t compatible with the standards that end up being selected. “That’s a risk,” Tansy said, adding that different potential standards ultimately have to compete on their merits. “There’s always a risk that once you start standardization, someone’s going to get left behind and we think that’s healthy [to have a standardized base of hardware].”

The initial SunSpec effort shouldn’t stir up too much controversy, though, as almost everyone already supports Modbus, Tandy said. “We’re going for a fairly low common denominator, where someone doesn’t have to do much except have their information come out in a certain way,” he said.

One reason to develop open standards and make partners could also be to help position companies to get part of the stimulus and other government funding. Fat Spaniel could be following this trend with this SunSpec alliance, in addition to its other recent solar partnerships with Regen Energy, Satel Spain and Meteotest.

Tandy said the company is indeed positioning itself for stimulus money, but that it’s mainly taking these steps to build a solid business model and be able to offer more services. Fat Spaniel is hoping to tap into stimulus money for an initiative — in conjunction with the University of California at Berkeley — to provide solar monitoring for California schools, and also is going after funding for a couple of R&D projects, he said.

Realistic PRO-2010

I just bought myself a ’state of the art’ computerized, direct entry scanner: the Realistic PRO-2010 for the staggering price of 2 euros

The scanner was on sale on a street sale. It’s a bit dirty and the antenna is missing. But for 2 euros I’m not complaining. I’ve tuned it to 169.7500, which is the national emergency text-messaging frequency in the Netherlands, and reception is quite clear, even without an antenna! The volume knop is a bit tricky though, when I turn it the volume goes from soft to strong with nothing in between. The potmeter will need some cleaning…

The PRO-2010 was produced in the late 1980’s. It has 20 memory channels and 1 search limit memory. It’s known to be a cheaply build rig with marginal reception qualities.

Every computer geek has a story about the day he or she fell in love with computers, myself included.  For the most part of my grade school life, the closest thing to a computer my family owned was the electric typewriter in my mom’s office.  I had yet to reach 6th grade, where I would eventually be introduced to the fantastic Apple II personal computer.  In fact, the word “computer” meant nothing to me.  But that would all change in the summer of 1994.

My kindergarden teacher had remained a close friend of the family.  When it was time for her to retire her old reliable computer she offered it to my family.  The computer in question was the modest Tandy 1000 produced by Radio Shack in 1984.  When my dad brought it home we had nowhere to put it.  We didn’t have a computer room and we certainly didn’t have a computer desk.  It finally found a home on the dining room table.  Parked right next to it was the monstrous commercial microwave that I’m sure emitted radiation to my cat Fluffy who was always perched on top, but that’s another story.

The moment I flipped the Tandy’s switch and saw the startup screen I was hooked.  I only remember having 2 applications on that computer.  One was a spreadsheet program, much like a featureless version of Microsoft Excel.  The other was a game heavily laced with Radio Shack propaganda.  In the game you would play a PC Technician and visit neighborhood businesses and they would tell you what computer services they needed.  You would then walk to the local Radio Shack, buy the parts, and go back and install them for your customer.  I think I played that game everyday for at least a month.  My interest in computers had thus begun, and I quickly upgraded to a more powerful computer and haven’t stopped upgrading since.  Most people have never heard of the Tandy line of computers, but to me, the Tandy 1000 will forever be a fond memory of mine, marking the day I fell in love with the computer.

Here we have  a very special young lady! Tandy & I had such a blast Kayla!~ You certainly are beautiful from the inside out! We wish you the very best blessings as you move forward in life, onto bigger and more exciting adventures.  These pictures are now in memory of the Yellow Bug, it was such a fun car. Kayla we are so thankful you are alive and well, and we will continue to pray for healing! We love you!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful mother’s. May you all have a wonderful day!!!

sf (nosto+algo⁴+ia¹) Doença ou tristeza profunda, causada pelas saudades da pátria.

Ok, ok, esqueça toda essa parte de tristeza que o Aurélio nos descreveu. Não é a isso que me refiro, ainda mais nesse momento. Me refiro a uma certa saudade, e a como algumas coisas que podem te parecer tão comuns mexem com os sentidos de outras pessoas.

É quando a gente sente um cheiro de bolo de fubá que acabou de sair do forno e lembra da casa da avó. Desse mesmo aroma, os pensamentos e recordações invadem nossa mente e nos leva a infância. Daí, você se lembra de como era brincar na rua, de como foi aprender a andar de bicicleta, de assistir ao programa da Mara Maravilha, e no meu caso, todas as tardes, na década de 80, chegar correndo do ’prézinho’ , tirar o all star vermelho, dar uma leve sacudida naquele shortinho balonê salpicado de areia que me apertavam as coxas literalmente obesas, abrir um pacote de Passatempo, me estirar no sofá marrom de corvin e me deliciar assistindo Muppet Babies. Ter minha imaginação totalmente estimulada desejando saber COMO ERA A BENDITA BABÁ, cansada de ver somente suas meias listradas de verde e branco.  Ficar p*** da vida quando o epidósio da Caverna do Dragão acabava cheio de enigmas, ansiosa pro amanhã. Mas você, assim como eu nem se quer imaginava que sua sede do amanhã seria suprida tão rápido… nem que hoje sentiria saudades de tudo que viveu naquela época, da falta de responsabilidades, da escola, do seu lanche preferido da cantina da tia Vera…ou no seu caso, tia seiláoque.

E quando você leu pela primeira vez? Acho absurdo que alguém se esqueça de um fato tão importante! Me lembro muito bem. Tinha 4 anos e meio, e a primeira palavra foi “Vitaminado” numa embalagem de biscoitos. Depois foi “Tônico.” E depois, pra desespero da minha mãe, todas as placas de ruas, avenidas, letreiros, camisetas e anúncios que via pela frente…

Sempre quis ter irmãos. Mas sempre preenchi essa ausência chamando os lil’ trutas pra colar em casa. Lanchinho Especial da Dona Maria (minha mãe, e nunca a chame de “dona”, pois ela odeia. Só eu chamo assim, pra aloprar mesmo) quando tinha trabalho da escola em casa, e na sequência se matar de tanto jogar video-game. Sempre fui viciadíssima, e modéstia à parte não tinhapáninguém. Era Super Mário World, Donkey Kong, Bomber Man, Need for Speed…meu melhor presente de aniversário? SEMPRE video-game, sem sombra de dúvidas! Pra se ter uma noção, meu primeiro eu ganhei antes mesmo de nascer…ahahauiha, pois é! É um Atári (que tenho até hoje, aliás) que meu pai comprou quando Dona Maria estava grávida de 5 meses. Ele nem sabía o sexo “do bebê”, mas já dizia que seria santista rooooooooxo (sorry Dad!), e ensinaria o  “filhão” a jogar Pac Man e aqueles zuperezquizitos como Kung Fu e o cláaassico “Enduro”, de corrida.

E quando a gente saía pra passear de bike então? Era uma festa dominical! Talvez o “papai Maurício” realmente tivesse  mais talento pra lidar com um filhão. Quando eu tinha 8 meses e arriscava meus primeiros passos, ele fez o favor de me derrubar no chão do quintal da casinha de aluguel que morávamos e adivinha o que aconteceu? Eu, Lil’ Lucy fiquei morreeeeendo de medo e simplesmente travei. Não queria mais andar…O chão acimentado era vilão, bobo, feio! Hunf! Mas tudo bem. Foi só um susto de criança! Não tenho do que reclamar. Sempre tive tudo que quis (até onde podia) e a “pequena grande família” sempre foi tudo pra mim.

Ficava na casa da vovó enquanto meus pais trabalhavam. Minha mãe: numa maternidade e meu pai numa empresa de turismo (a mesma que eu uso até hoje pra ir visitá-los em São José dos Campos e voltar pra SP…). Mas nem sempre foi assim. Segundo eles mesmos, se conheceram e se “paqueraram” em seus antigos trampos: Tecelagem Parahyba. Minha mãe então fiadora de lã e meu papi tecelão. E era na hora do rango, quando eles se sentavam próximos aos trilhos do trem, rolava a famosa marrrrrrmiiiita esquentada em banho-maria…  meu pai ficava de papinho pra cima dela. Ora ora hein! hauahuiahauiahau…e por aí vai…

Me lembro muito bem de quando eu tive um soluço que não parava por nada e meu avô me disse: “Come jiló que ele passa…” Foi um dos meus primeiros momentos de revolta infantil. Mas eu era esperta. Sim, e muito! Ele pensou que ía me enganar e me ver torcendo o nariz ao sentir aquele gosto horrível… Mas eu, Lil’ queria mais que uma sugestão, queria provas! E pro meu alívio me recusei. Mesmo assim ele riu da situação, orgulhoso e bobão de ver que a netinha era esperta, mesmo desesperada! hahahaha…

Pensamentos vagos que vão tomando forma aqui dentro. Como quando o artesão faz um vaso. No começo é estranho, meio torto, mas depois ele vai tomando seu formato. E nenhum fica igual… Com as pessoas deve ser assim também. Cada um leva consigo uma bagagem especial e é uma pena que tantos e tantas se esqueçam ou que tentem apagar fatos tão importantes em sua formação… cada um à sua maneira, sempre.

O mais engraçado era que eu só ia falar de como foi bom baixar os emuladores de Playstation e Snes pros meus pc’s e os joguinhos magavilhosos. E agora, saca o tamanho e a proporção que o meu post foi tomando! Mas mesmo assim eu consegui abordar o que queria, que é essa coisa de uma lembrança, ou um simples prazer nos transportar pra anos e até décadas atrás! Bom…pra terminar, eu, que já tive Snes, Playstation, N64, Dream Cast, debulhadora nata de Resident’s Evil, Metal Gear, Rpg’s, e tudo que é joguinho mais precário que se possa imaginar, quero compartilhar esses Print Screens que tirei hoje, durante a sessão Nostalgia em casa com ‘quem possa interessar’ ou somente se identificar com algumas coisas que eu escrevi. Então, lá vaaaaaai:

Aladdin (a fase “7″ é sem dúvida a mais difícil, passar  com o tapete pela onda de fogo que te persegue…é osso queridão! mas os chefes são bico!)

A fase do parque, CLASSIC! Um dos melhores jogos de todos os tempos: DONKEY KONG COUNTRY. Esse é o viciante volume 2, onde você controla Diddy Kong, o macaquinho de boné vermelho, e Dixie Kong, a guria de boina rosa. Vocês devem salvar o tiozão Donkey Kong das garras do terrível capitão Kaptain K. Rool. Bom demáaas! E cheio de segredos, hoho…

Olha os dois em ação. O segredo é sempre seguir os rastros de banana, ok? hauiahuia, Se liga na seta bombando. Ali embaixo esse peixe..essa piranha maldita que adora f**** com o a sua vida no jogo. Mas tudo bem, você é feraaaa e tira ela de letra, mesmo nessa fase em que a maré sobe SUPER rápido e você deve se pendurar em ganchos e utilizar  todo o sistema de barris, marca registrada da série criada em 1994 para o Snes, pela Rareware (inclusive foi e é um sucesso estrondoso, o primeiro jogo a apresentar uma qualidade assim pra um console de apenas 16 bits…).

Bom, é isso aí, sumemo, é nóiz, valeu, tô com sono e vou dormir!

 Sem mais delongas,

L.

P.S: Passatempo recheada, All Star vermelho, Snoopy, cair de bicicleta, jogar “taco” na rua, lancheira, bisnaguinha, ioiô’s da Coca-Cola, Tandy Tutti-Fruti (O melhor creme dental), Pirocóptero, Hora do recreio, Zé Gotinha, Pogobol, Pica-Pau, Chaves e Chapolin, Trem da Alegria, Ursinhos Fofy’s (R.I.P), Johnson’s Baby Shampoooo, uáaaa!

While browsing other peoples blogs I found Joel Ewy’s cool blog on reimaging a Tandy / Radio Shack Color Computer 3 onto a single chip / FPGA.

It has been a while since I have been able to post. There are so many changes coming up and Tim and I have been very active getting our house ready to sell that Dez has had to take on alot of Sugar Snap lately. I am happy to say that while there is many  things coming down the pipe, I am back in full swing and so ready to explore all of what Orlando has to offer.  These are a few pictures that were taken while we were visiting. I have already made a few new friends there. Our move is offiicial in June. Look for more things coming from Sugar Snap Orlando!

I have been waiting for months for this show! Although, I think that I prefer the British version (Ladette to Lady).  I was so sad when L2L ended.  I only got to see season 3.  If anyone can find the first 2 seasons for me, I promise to reward you handsomely!!

Anyhow, the show is produced by Donald Trump (hence Tara Conner as the host) and it was fairly entertaining.  These girls are crazy!!  I think that they should lock Chris Brown up in a room with them.  Yah.  Let’s see him beat on some girls then.  They would kill that fool in about 2.34 seconds.  Especially Margie.  That girl is scary… and it was funny when Headmistress Harbord and Mrs. Schrager told her that everyone thought so. 

Some of you may be thinking that I am kind of sad for watching this show in the first place (and perhaps you are right).  And I am totally blaming the gaming industry for this one!  After beating Build-a-Lot in… hmm… a day…  I had the following thoughts: Why the freak am I playing Build-a-Lot and what happened to all of the good games?!?!?!  I mean, no offense to Hipsoft.  They are good at what they do; they produce some decent strategy games.  

But where is everyone else??  What happened to those games which blew you away??  If one does not come out soon, I may have to go dig out Wolfenstein 3D or Myst and my freakin Tandy computer. >:|  I cannot think of any game which has really captivated me lately… Okay, Fable II, Assassin’s Creed, and Little Big Planet are really nice.  And Professor Layton looks good, but I have not tried it yet.  But what I wouldn’t do for another Perfect Dark, Baldur’s Gate II, or even Syberia…  Any recommendations?  Maybe I will get this 9-year old kid to write me some gaming gold.
