I just finished the excellent free (thanks to podiobooks.com) audiobook The Crown Conspiracy by Michael J. Sullivan today. I highly recommend it if you enjoy the medieval/fantasy genre. The story is excellent and Nathan Lowell (of the Share series) does a great job of narration. I can find no flaws in the audio, narration, or story. I can’t wait for more of the series. Check it out – you won’t be sorry.
I bought a used white Nintendo DS Lite a while back so I could play games with my daughter. I got a really good deal on it but it was white – not the coolest looking DSL. So, I bought a clear replacement shell from DealExtreme and just installed it today. Took me about 3 hours and was a major pain in the arse (though now that I have done one, I bet I could do a second MUCH quicker and easier). The result is a really great looking DS Lite. Sweet.
Today is the one yar anniversary of Teenormous. We wrote up a long blog post detailing lots of numbers for the year (traffic, pageviews, $$$) here:

It has been successful beyond what we could ever have hoped for in the first year.
Firefox plus LiveHTTPHeaders. That’s all I’m saying.
A friend of mine just released his new game, Creeper World for the Mac and PC. He worked on another game a while back that was simple yet loads of fun. I’m expecting this one to be the same. I’m off to go give it a try now. From the FAQ: “Creeper World is a unique and fresh look at RTS, defense, puzzle, physics, and management based games.”
UPDATE: Ok, I must admit, Creeper World is fun. I just played through the first three levels and enjoyed it and I am NOT a strategy game fan. I will be playing the rest of the levels.
