Wings - Game 3

Commadore just had an Epic Fail of a hit against Cleary.

The block is nice, the pick is better

Playoffs postSeason = new Playoffs(2009);


NHL 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs start today! I’m floored; the Western Conference fight is going to be a real good one this year. In fact, a Western Conference final between the Blackhawks & the Wings would be AMAZING! In honor of the first day of the playoffs, I present “The Hockey Song”
GO WINGS!ozzy1



OSX + VTK = Pretty Cool!

Continuing my long standing tradition of being overwhelming uninteresting, I thought I would post a screen shot of my first attempt at using VTK for medical imaging. Thank you, Rogue Research. Happy Easter, everybody!

Website Update

Added a listing for my undergraduate research project, “CodeParty,” under the “Games & Apps” page. Also added our teams hockey schedule for this season to the “Hockey” page.

Game 1: Wet Bandits vs. IronFeet

First game of the season went to the opponents. I’m guessing I stopped 12 of 17 shots. Meaning I had let in 5 goals, but truthfully, it didn’t matter.

What a rush! Can’t wait till next week’s game!

An Epiphany!

For the first time, I was scanning through twitter posts using the search term “video games,” and it finally dawns on my why I hate Twitter so much.

I don’t hate the premise of Twitter, but rather it’s users’ need for using Twitter. I liken it to the hybrid car craze, and more specifically, the class of consumers who would make absolutely sure they let you know they’re driving a hybrid, and for all the right reasons, and you’re not.

I can see a real earnest use for Twitter, especially in the academic sector (social psychologist must be having a field day). That is something I could be excited about, even though ironically, having that information available would require the very participation I’ve already described as inane. (Hilarious).

But in a more troubling sense, this ecosystem of self-affirmation seems to provide the most vivid glimpse into a possible future that I would rather not be a part of. So instead, I’ll maintain my thoughts on an obscure, empty website like this, hoping that no one ever reads whatever I put on here. Cause its probably a waste of their time.

April Ghouls!

Wow. Its time for an update!

I got VTK to build on Leopard 10.5; CMake sure is an awesome program! I used the SimpleCocoaVTK app as a code sample. I’m really excited how well it works.

Also, I made a iTunes playlist for when I do programming. Any suggestions are welcome.

First league game is on Friday! I can’t wait.

There was something else I was going to say...durrrrr.
