World of Goo

Over the past few months I have been kind of participating in an online game of sorts calledMacHeist.  It is a website that has different puzzles and missions that allow you to win free software.  At the end they have a bundle deal for $39 that has a ton of software worth like $900.  Anyways, I bought it and have been playing a game that came with it called World of Goo.  It is quite a fun and rather addicting game where your goal is to assemble structures out of the balls of goo that stick together to get to a pipe at the end of the puzzle where you have to have a certain number left over to get sucked in.  Here are a few screenshots of that game.

Granted it does look a little crazy, but it is a lot of fun.  The guy who made this started with the website ExperimentalGameplay which has a lot of free basic games that are fun to play.  Each was made in one week by one person, it started as a project for a graduate level computer science class at Carnegie Mellon University.

Another application that I got in the MacHeist bundle is called KineMac.  It is essentially a smaller version of Apple's Motion software, a 2D/3D animated graphics application.  I don't have much time right now, but I'm hoping this summer when I am just working a job that I can get some time to play around with it and post some stuff.

This may not have been a very exciting post, but I wanted to post something and I couldn't think of much.  So this is what I posted.

A New Day Has Begun

Well, it looks like I have a blog again.
I used to have one of these through Xanga awhile ago (it's probably still sitting around somewhere), but I stopped posting because of a lack of things to say, and frankly, laziness. I have decided to be cool again and start another blog here on blogspot. I hope to setup my own domain name and blog sometime in the kind of near future, but for now this will have to suffice. And hopefully I will be able to get a better customized theme for this blog in the near future.

Well, this blog will probably be a place for random musing, posts, and happenings in my life unless I think of some sort of dedicated or focused purpose for this.

Well, to start with, I am from the great state of Iowa (though I wasn't born there) and am currently going to school in Longview, TX at LeTourneau University. I am majoring in Engineering with a concentration in Electrical and with two minors: Mathematics and Computer Science. I am a proud member of the distinguished and mighty Dorm 41(I'm sure more posts/comments will come on that later). I am a first year student here, and have been enjoying it so far.

Well, I must say adios from my first blog post and go attempt some lame Physics homework.
Until next time, keep your head down and your powder dry.
