    I enjoyed The Car Show, Adam Carolla's latest attempt to be on TV.

    I've decided I really hate the phrase "call or click" in commercials.

    Its a frightening new day: Nicole has a cell phone.

    I was good at the gym today. 5K on the treadmill, then weights and 300M in the pool.

    Very clever idea. I have an iPod Touch (and an iPad), I may give this a try.

    I ran the mile with the CAP cadets tonight. And by "with" them, I mean "well behind" them.

    Yes, I still have my original 4-switch VCS and it is the one I generally use when I play. Of course, I've got several more now, of various types, but I love my original one. I still play most of my original carts, too, especially Starmaster and Adventure.

    Whatever the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial, I plan to claim "I knew it all along".

    Happy birthday America! You don't look a day over 200...

    Took Moose back to the vet this morning for more x-rays and tests

  11. Tinman

    Now THAT'S how you win a game! (go Rays!)

    Moose is home and sleeping, with pain meds, Gas-X and Pepcid. We'll see how he does. He still seems under the weather.

    Moose has been panting and pacing around the house for a couple of hours so Beth just took him to the emergency vet.

      Was it hard to find a vet that can treat a moose?

    I made Baja-style fish tacos and my mom's recipe for mango relish/ salsa for dinner. The tacos were good and the salsa was excellent.

    I seriously dig the new Jaguar XJL. Anyone have an extra $80K lying around?

    I hadn't seen that video; thanks for posting it! I'm reasonably familiar with the Atari architecture, partly from Crane's iOS apps, partly from these forums, and mostly from the book "Racing the Beam", but the video was still very interesting.

    I posted some maps to the four types of levels some years back. They're around here somewhere if you look for them. Michael Found them, thanks! I may give the game another try...

    Finally stating to get some good thunderstorms! I was beginning to wonder about this summer.

    It's not a horrible game, considering the limitations of the Atari, but my biggest problem is that I just don't have the patience for that kind of game in general. The payoff isn't worth the effort of mapping, etc.

    I think Robot Tank has more "advanced" features. I love the weather and time-of-day changes, the moving radar sweep, and the on-screen text messages. But Battlezone has better enemy tank movement for sure. I love that the enemies have to turn slowly towards you before they can fire at you. On Robot Tank, the enemy tanks seem to just face one side direction or the other and can fire at you no matter which way they're facing. Both games are pretty fun and offer pretty cool graphics for the 2600.

    Fox and Friends had both Miss America and Miss USA on this morning. Miss USA is cuter.

    Our female turtle laid an egg. No sign of a baby; if there was one, it probably got eaten.

      Check the sand for more eggs they usually don't lay just one.

    We've had good luck with our flights all day, but now it looks like our last one, from Charlotte to Tampa, is delayed.

      This is the first time in years I haven't gone.

    I personally think that the original 8-bit version of Star Raiders is the best computer game ever made. It has always been my favorite and I think that the 2600 version is pretty decent, given the limitations ofnthe platform. However I actually like Activision Starmaster better on the 2600. It seems a bit faster-moving and just a more fun game. Starpath Phaser Patrol is excellent, too, especially with the improved graphics on the Supercharger.
