Heady days of freedom. and stuff

Alrighty boys and girls, the semi/bi/tri/sometime Annual St. Albert LAN Party is getting planned! As one of the ONLY people I know who organize local LAN parties (and no the Edmonton Area does NOT count) I have taken it upon myself once again to spread the love and giving.
If you live in the St. Albert [...]

MEE 101: introduction to the michael edwards experience

Filed under: Uncategorized — medwards @ 1:07 am

There is a disappointing result of over-reading Frank Herbert novels. You start to view the world in a detached manner. When you stop looking at people and start looking for social undercurrents, internal pressures, and unconcious motives you enter a very different place.

Am I being truly objective? Is this really an ideal state? People stop [...]

I started a quotations sidebar to the left. Or to the right even… They are as much to show off some of the best works of fiction I own as they are a reminder to myself.
One quote I almost missed:“Some people will be dying in 30 years in Canada because we have not been responsible [...]

today’s good read

So. That Jesus Incident. Holy cow.
This puppy ranks up there with God Emperor of Dune. (the more reflective and introspective book in the Dune series)
On a related note, I discovered an interesting site called BookCrossing. You sign up, you take a book out of your library, and you put it in the “wild.” Other people [...]

sleepless in calgary

aunt1 and uncle5 in Calgary continue to surprise me with renovations of their home. Comparing their original kitchen to the kitchen they have now is like looking at an episode of Trading Spaces. They’ve finally started on a sidewalk to cross their lawn, but appear to have run into some delays thanks to disagreeable weather.

Anyways, [...]

oohhh man.

Tough day. It started out with school, a ‘goal assessment’ exercise.
What is a goal you would like to accomplish today
Not die during Pokemon League.
I was so on the money. Insanity does not begin to describe the day. First off, Pokemon League attracts 20+ little children a day. Two or more hours worth of them. Secondly, [...]

i feel used

Jesus. I just got off the phone with some telemarketer offering something useful for once, still I feel dumb.
Awhile back I got myself my first credit card. (emphasis intended) I know it will be bad for me, and in fact the running joke was I would be declaring bankruptcy in a month. Also there were [...]

man, my legs hurt

They do hurt. A lot. Dealing all day with shipments, cleaning, and Pokemon League. And it all changes next week. (new format for the league)
To boot I was working on my third essay rough draft and I realized that I didn’t really agree with what I was writing. I was going to be using books [...]

zen of gaming – redux

Managed to pull off not ONE but TWO ‘Technical Bonus’ boss kills in Stryker 1945 today! While not my first day of technical bonuses, (that would be yesterday) it is the first two bonuses I pulled off without being mauled to death by the swarms of shots or using a bomb to cover my approach.
/me [...]

the zen of everything else

Filed under: Uncategorized — medwards @ 6:09 pm

If your looking for me on campus there is a good chance that you’ll find me in the SUB arcade playing a little top-down arcade shooter called Strykers 1942.
It has become a little bit of an obsession of late, to the point that the high point of today was completing my first technical bonus. Which [...]
