ME! ME! ME!

So, since my wife thinks I should start a blog, here we are!

I'm 30, a SAHD, a geek, a gamer, a lover of punk and a fan of cooking. I figure this blog will be a combination of all of that, plus the occasional religious/political post.

Any SAHDs out there need to watch The Other F Word and read Punk Rock Dad. While it isn't about SAHD it's still a great book about being a Dad. It really helped me realize I don't need to conform to what the public expects and just be me.

So I'll keep gaming and rocking out to some good punk while getting dinner ready.

I'll try to blog about what I'm making for dinner and post pictures. I'm Italian so expect lots of tasty Italian dishes.

Late Night Ramblings

So apparently, late at night, when the baby wakes us up, I sometimes speak incoherently. These are a few of my highlights, so to speak.(typed up by my wife at 4:30 AM feeding) "You gotta give it to the snow people, you know [like I'm (my wife) the dumb one], the ones at the iPad store.  You plug the people in and they turn into a Lego monster." Then later... You, Angrily: "The snow people read your stats off your glasses!" Me (wife) : dafuq??? You: "The glasses on your face!  They read your stats!" Previous interview: Going into the bathroom, after I asked you where you were randomly going: "I'm going in here to brown my sausage! Me (wife) : dafuq??? Why??? You: "because there's a skillet in there!" Me (wife) : what?! Why is there a skillet in there?? You, angrily: "BECAUSE IT'S GERMAN!!" Upon me asking why you went downstairs and came back up empty handed: "I had to put the cake in the microwave because ...

Pope Benedict XVI

So the Pope is resigning. A surprise, but not a shock. You just have to look at his past comments, he has always mentioned that the Pope should resign if he cannot continue to do the job 100%. As I've mentioned, health care is so amazing now, that he could last a long time, ie another John Paul II at the end. A conclave should be starting in early March and by Easter there should be a new Pope. The mass media will get carried away with papabile, and if the past is any indication the next Pope most likely won't come from that last. I'd pick Cardinal Burke or Ranjith if I had a vote :P

Programming!

When Quake came out I was hooked, it was incredible. When QuakeC(and the level designer) came out, I was even more hooked. I literally jumped headfirst into it with no programming or design experience whatsoever. Level designing and me didn't quite work out, I was never happy with the maps I finished. Programming though? Man it was awesome. I spent a ton of time, tinkering and making various mini mods. Eventually, I'm proud to say, I was able to write up a bot that worked quite well, IMO of course.. I never released it, due to that fear of rejection. Eventually, real life took its toll and I started to stray away from it all. I made a few maps for Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament. I dabbled a bit with UDK but nothing to the extent of the fun I had with QuakeC. Anyway, recently, in a effort to better occupy my free time, I've kinda jumped back into programming. I have no desire to release any games or software, but its certainly been a blast just tinkering. The Unity software i...
