Inspired by previews of A Boy and His Blob
I was reading the April 2009 issue of Nintendo Power and couldn’t believe the artwork for A Boy and His Blob. I was really blown away because some elements of the game resembled ideas and sketches from a project I’ve been working on with my son.

Early adopter: Samsung BD-P1600 BluRay with Netflix Pandora
My DVD player died about 2 weeks ago. I took the opportunity to step-up one component of my aging electronics arrangement by buying the Samsung BD-P1600 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player
The main draw to this device was the NetFlix and Pandora support, and WiFi. I already subscribe to NetFlix, and don’t have Cable anymore. So, I use NetFlix as my main source for that kind of entertainment. Until now, I’ve been only able to stream NetFlix over my laptop. That’s OK, but my wife wouldn’t want to watch a movie on the laptop with me.

Favorite Indie Games: Cave Story
Cave Story is one of my favorite Indie Games. When I bought my Gp2x, Cave Story was one of the first games I downloaded for it. I immediately introduced it to my son so that I could share the sweetness of this game.

I want to take an AMC Winter skills course
I think a Winter skills course with my wife would be a lot of fun. She and I like to hike and enjoy snowshoeing. I’ve gone to Crawford Notch in New Hampshire to photograph ice climbers and people taking mountaineering courses. I think it’s time that we do something like that ourselves. It’s a bit pricey (could be $300-$400+ per person) but I suppose it’s cheaper and more adventurous than most hotel stays.

Getting accustomed to Mac: a short list of peeves
Switching to a Mac has been unexpectedly easy. I can do almost everything I would want to do with the exception of watching streaming NetFlix movies – and that will hopefully be resolved soon. Besides that one nagging issue, here is a list of things I need to get used to.

How to buy a Mac
“Finally got a Mac Book Pro by waiting until the price drop happened on the model being phased out. “
How I did it: I waited and waited and a friend, Mike Desjardins, told me about the price drops on Mac Book Pro laptops after the new model was announced. I just happened to have the cash on hand and did it.
Lessons & tips: Save up and wait until the new models are announced and take advantage of the price drop. These things are expensive enough, there is no reason to finance it, too.
Resources: I found my item on Amazon, offered by J&R Electronics in Brooklyn (I think). But Mac Mall had the same price on the same model.
It took me 3 months.
It made me Feel a little silly

Cleaning house
I’m cleaning house – on the site, anyway. I’m going through my posts and pages cleaning up the topics. I may move some topics to my other website, EricHolsinger.net, which is now my general blogging site. I’m doing all of this in preparation of converting this site to photography related topics, exclusively.
