Where would a tech 'blog' be without tech related material? So for my first post, I'd like to list a couple things that I'm planning on learning before friday of next week. As it is, this is a completely unattainable goal since I just got my hand on a Nintendo Wii. But never the less ... this is it.
- ASUnit - I'd like to learn more about unit testing. The project I'm working on at work requires us to use unit testing ... something I know very little about. We're using ASUnit since the project is in AS3.
- Adobe Labs AS3 Libraries - I had no clue these existed. I never have time to explore this stuff .. hopefully this week, I'll find time.
- Adobe Macromedia Flash 9 CS3 Blaze Beta 4 - whatever it's called today, I finally got my hands on the beta and I'm planning on tinkering with it.
I think that's enough for now. Somewhere in there is "begin working on fun projects" and "finish reviewing chapters for Joey's flex book." So much to do ... I'm going to go play Elebits.

You’ve absolutely no chance of getting through these if you just got a Wii. I predict you can’t make it through one, much less all three. Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten one yet, but a few years back, when I was right in the middle of my dissertation, my fiancé thought it would be a great idea to give me a Gamecube for Christmas as “motivation.” “Read for an hour, then play for fifteen minutes,” she said innocently. Let’s just say getting it finished took longer than it might have. I have to say, the central reason I want a Wii is to access the same game that I played non-stop on the Gamecube: Tiger Woods. Now, I recognize that to some golf doesn’t exactly compare to some of the more action-centered games, but at least in the most recent version, it’s possible to create an avatar in the game that looks completely you – you spend up to two or three hours perfecting how you look. I think maybe that “sims” aspect of the game helped to suck me in.
