An Invaders work is never done...

I'd rather be playing...

So, I planned on getting out in the gorgeous sunshine today... visit some clients... go to the beach .. anything but being stuck inside.... But, my boss decided that today was a great day to stay indoors and do a sales blitz....   So here I am mid-week... Hump-day such a blah day of the whole week?? not as bad as Monday... urghhh!!! when all i want to do is sleep in... but not as great as Saturday when I can play... I think the world should go to a 2 day work week and 5 day weekend...

Ideas for a game

Okay.. so I guess most of you that read this.. realize.. I love Atari, enjoy collecting and selling carts... BUT.. do not have the first clue about writing a game or programing ... Although that doenst mean I dont have an interest in learning...   My question is this... If I have ideas for games... what do I do first??? Is it best to team up with an expert who writes games and just lend the ideas?? OR>>>>> Is it something that I could learn and actually get good at .. over

Radio dial flip flop...

Well, a station that I started 6 years ago (106.5 The Promise .. contemp. Christian music) was bought by a big company here in the market (Cox Radio) ... They ended up letting a small local station pick up the format... so now they are 88.1 The Promise.. not as good a signal, but still on the dial.... GLAD TO SEE MY "BABY" didnt get BLOWN OFF THE DIAL...   What will COX put on 106.5??? anybodies guess right now... They're running a teaser saying it could be latin, or dance, or country...

Oldies Radio... or not?

There are talks at work about BIG Changes.... I sell radio ads... fun and often frustrating all at the same time... I work for an oldies station (60s & 70s Hits... Funny that is now considered oldies).. anyway... the station holds it's own.. but isnt making money.. and you know it's all about making a profit.... so.. there has been some behind the scene talks.. No one will say but I think they are going to "flip" the station to another format...   This could be bad at first.. but ma

Time will tell what direction the company is taking...   I have of course been trying to do some fun stuff in my free time... Went to the beach a few times ...

I think next week I'll crack the ice so to speak...   I'm looking forward to the weekend.. I've got to

Was it JAWS?

Everything in life would be better with a theme song.... Don't ya think??? I've decided to add a sound track to my life this weekend... Here's what I've got so far...   Like this weekend it could be Jimmy Buffett's "Headin up to San Fransico for the Labor Day weekend show... I got my hush puppies on, I guess I never was made for glitter rock and roll......... "   Friday night theme could have been some pacman sound effects.... I played some video games   Saturday could have b
