My Day So Far With Modern Warfare 3
I will keep updating through out the day…

12.15am I picked up Modern Warfare 3 this morning, the midnight release to what is and will be the most anticipated video game release to date.  

12.30am I text my friends to go online and my girlfriend goodnight and with idea she won’t be seeing me for the next few days.  The gaming ensues.

5.30am I hear my roommate get up and head out to work for an early business meeting.  I decide to play one more Team Deathmatch and head to bed.

8.30am I get up with a slight pain in my right eye.  I washed it out and play more of the single player campaign mode for another hour.

11.30am After eating breakfast and catching up on tv (it was my day off today) I go upstairs for more gaming, but when I opened the curtains… my room is a mess.  I swear it wasn’t like this the day before, the girlfriend would have said something.  I tidied up my room and played multiplayer for another hour.

1.30pm I decide to show my face to the social online world and write this blog, and I’m also gonna go outside and run some errands.

3.30pm Back from errands do one hour of single player campaign mode.

4.30pm Sleep overcome me and I nap while rewatching Bridesmaids, cause I slept through it the other night.  Ironic.

5.15pm Played several hours of both campaign and multiplayer mode.  My eyes are officially straining, and my brain has melted out of my ears.  Comprehension and thought process are out the window.  Canceled grocery shopping plans.  Girlfriend mentions Blue Martini for drinks… That’s not gonna happen…

7.30pm I finally finished my game play for the day.  By the end I put in over 13 hours of Modern Warfare 3 in a 24 hours.  It’s time to sleep.

What has been your experience on your first day of Modern Warfare 3?

So you want to know what it takes to shoot a movie in 3D?  You think 3D is simply a phase?  I’m sorry, but it’s here, it’s now, and it’s gonna stay.  Studios are dropping millions of dollars in the development of newer 3D cameras and here in this webisode of The Hobbit, Peter Jackson takes into the background and into the methodology of shooting The Hobbit in 3D.  If anyone knows anything about video format, I can just say these movies are being shot in 5K resolution at 48 frames per second in 3D.  Our new fancy 1080p machines are about 1K resolution, so there you have it.  Enjoy the episode and have a pint while you watch.

And this why you don’t go sneaking in pools at night…

Three friends decided to go on epic vacation. It all started with an idea to go on a cruise. That idea blossomed into a 7 day Mediterranean cruise starting from Barcelona, Spain; Florence, Roma, Naples, Italy; and finally to the Island of Palma Majorca. We began this journey with 4 amazing days in Barcelona hanging with family and friends, and ending with a great journey on the Norwegian Cruise Lines’ newest ship, the Epic.

Although I wished I shot more videos, these here are simply a collection of an afterthought. Enjoy.

Emptyage: Generation X Doesn't Want to Hear It

Earlier generations have weathered recessions, of course; this stall we’re in has the look of something nastier. Social Security and Medicare are going to be diminished, at best. Hours worked are up even as hiring staggers along: Blood from a stone looks to be the normal order of things “going…

My new running shoes.  They’re suppose to give my already toned legs more definition. We’ll see about that.

Our Free One Night Stay at Hard Rock Hotel at Hollywood Florida

In conjunction we also got a $50 gift certificate to the Hard Rock Cafe, and two tickets so see Weird Al, which was surprisingly fun to watch.

Time Lapse: I Never Expected a Bridge Demolition Would Look Like This(via @Gizmodo)

Don’t expect a big explosion. This time lapse video shows how to demolish a video with finesse and patience, over night. It was taken in England on April 9, using a Canon 5Dmk2 over the course of 18 hours, taking 4,000 images that were assembled in QuickTime.

World War II in Photos

This is a very interesting look at photography and images of life before World War 2 and the aftermath it left behind.  The piece isn’t completed yet and they are three more entries left by the end of October.  They are literally hundreds of photos to look through.  One can only hope history doesn’t repeat itself.
