12-12-12

OK, so at about 10:12 pm last night, the closest thing to the end of the world that I noticed was that a piece of space debris brilliantly burned out in the farmer’s field behind the house. Which, when you think about it, could be considered a close call.

On the bright side, on 12-12-12, the last triplet we’ll ever have (until we find that youth serum), I topped 5.7 million on Robotron and made it to level 235 – twenty levels shy of the game reaching the famed crash! A bit frustrating as I typically find it hard to top 3 million. So this was a serious run that I don’t think I’ll be able to duplicate.

Echo & James

I can’t believe it. Echo & James will be playing together on 3 nights in April but in the UK. I wonder if it’s a co-headline or if James is the main act?

Anyway, let’s wait a bit to see if they announce any North American dates. If not, time to make that trip across the pond!

Wonderboy Website

Been sprucing up the website using Jquery components. It’s pretty neat what can be done with HTML5 these days. Yeah, you need a heavier browser for this but it seems like all the smartphones have a decent browser these days.

Also been doing some native smartphone (iOS, Android, BB) development at work as well as JQuery Mobile / Phonegap development.

All of this makes me wonder where we can take Wonderboy in terms of a product.
