Purple Podcaster/Blog.

So, a friend of mine has ventured onto a new project.

Purple Podcaster. He also is going to be the host for blogs.

I'm am mostly like going to flip over there to help support his new venture. I suggest you do the same, and leave Blogspot. Of course, it'll take me a bit of time to switch over.

Just keep hmph.ca in mind as you look for my blog, as I will redirect the link to there. Hell, if I can remember how. :)

Commodore 64

Had to post this. I had one, it was my first computer. 64K memory. Wow, eh? Lots... And, I had a tape drive! Yes, a tape drive. My first upgrade was to buy a 5.5 disk drive.. OooooOoo.. 

The last few days, or a week, I've been playing with a few tools to customize my windows/desktop.

You can go here to see the programs. Basically, it just a way to change how your windows look, customize it, even make it more functional for yourself. It uses widgets which are very familiar with Konfabulators widgets.

Anyways, I bought the software, and I've been addicted to it ever since. So far, I havent really decided on how my windows will look, and I am still learning it. Next thing is to be able to customize the desktop with unique object bars.

Christmas Game!

Yah, it's the season to be jolly. I remember last year posting cheap flash games during the Christmas season, and I thought I would continue the tradition.

So, here is one.

Santa Ski Jump!

Not bad game, when Santa doesnt land right, he makes a crunching noise. It's a lil disturbing.

 

Ullllaaaaaaaa!

Today saw the release of Spielberg's War of the Worlds. Most people know that this was based on HG Wells novels of the same title, and even some folks remember the old 1953's movie. And of course, the radio broadcast by Orson Wells that caused panic in the United States.

Their has been some other remakes in the last decade, a really bad TV show, and I also believe that their has been a few other movies (Though, I've never seen them.)

But, their is one that only a few people seem to know. The musical version of War of the Worlds! Yah, released in 1976, it's narrated by Richard Burton. By far the best narrator to this story (Morgan Freeman did the new one, but, not even in the same ballpark to Burton). As to the music. Ha! I love it. Their is no doubt that it's from the 70's, with it infusion of disco/guitar rocking solo's. Richard Burton narrates the story between the music. Not just instruemental, it has actual songs! Why do I love this CD? One part nostalgia, I remember listening to it on the radio when I lived in Germany on Halloween night. But, even while the music is somewhat cheesy, it conveys the story. And with Burton's narration, it's a sheer escapism for myself.

The above picture is from the CD, it's the battleship "Thunder Child" and a Martian Tripod. The steamer began to move slowly away, but on the landward horizon appeared the silhouette of a fighting machine. Another came, and another, striding over hills and trees, plunging far out to sea and blocking the exit of the steamer. Between them lay the silent, gray, ironclad Thunderchild. Slowly it moved towards shore, then with a deafening roar and whoosh of spray it swung about and drove at full speed towards the waiting Martians. (insert a musical score/song here).. The Martians released their black smoke, but the ship sped on, cutting down one of the tripod figures. Instantly, the others raised their heat rays, and melted the Thunderchild's valiant heart. When the smoke cleared, the little steamer had reached the misty horizon, and Carrie was safe. But the Thunderchild had vanished forever, taking with her man's last hope of victory. The leaden sky was lit by green flashes, cylinder following cylinder, and no one and nothing was left now to fight them. The earth belonged to the Martians.
