It's been awhile since I posted anything, so I thought I'd post a brief update on life, liberty, and the pursuit of unlocking all the race tracks in Mario Kart Wii.

A couple of friends at work have been talking about the Music Genome Project at Pandora.com. It is an interactive web radio-like system with a unique approach to classifying music. It classifies music based on a variety of factors and then groups them based on their similarities. Users then can create a "station" based on a single musician, group, or song, and the system will provide them with a steady stream of music similar to their style.

I've added a new Projects page to host any personal projects that I release publicly. It currently only has one entry, DuSTED, which is a simple tile editor I wrote for the DS. Click on the 'projects' link above to check it out.

Penny Arcade's annual Child's Play Charity kicked off its seasonal drive at the beginning of this month. For those of you not familiar with it, Child's Play is a charity started in 2003 by some gamers to fight the media's negative stereotype of gamers by motivating the gaming community to become involved in a worthwhile cause that's related to our favorite pastime. This year it has partnered with 45 childrens hospitals around the world to donate toys, games, books, and cash for the kids being treated at these hospitals.

The title of this post means two things. One, I've been watching way too much of the Star Trek: Borg fan collective lately. Two, I'm now a member of Facebook.

Last night, several members of my lifegroup volunteered at Middleton Outreach Ministry's food pantry. A few of us had done this before, but it was a new experience for me.

My mom won an Honorable Mention award from the Creative Home Arts Club for a pair of hand-knitted Peter Rabbit mittens she entered into their Hats, Mittens & Scarves Contest.
