I made a game called Maziness last winter that I didn’t announce.

Back in elementary school, we would sit for hours drawing mazes on graph paper. This game was a visit to the past with my knowledge of today. It’s very minimalist as well, mostly because I just didn’t care to work on it after the initial revision.

The purpose is to get from start to finish in the smallest amount of time possible. It relies heavily on the JavaScript capabilities of your web browser, so those with Google Chrome or Safari 4 will be able to play the large maze. I used a well known but simple maze algorithm to generate the mazes, which regenerate everytime you refresh the page.

If you’re bored, check it out: http://maziness.com.

The new site has a minimalist design. A person is running away from an alien spacecraft but the large yellow beam- similar to the spot light at a prison- has spotted him and is following him. The oddly balanced rectangular block gives the city an alien feel as well.

I liked the simplicity of my last site, but I wanted to shrink the header image and make it less egocentric. The content started half way down the page, so I believe I’ve resolved that problem. The grey background and black foreground help bring out the yellow parts, which draw attention to the more active elements of the site. I used Pixelmator, a cool graphics program that Chris recommended. It’s basically a stripped down version of photoshop with Mac style for $59.

I have leveled my WoW character, Webertron, to 80, which is the max. Check out Webertron on WOW Armory.

I will probably never play this stupid game ever again.

Have you read the latest news from Netflix? If you own a Blu-Ray player (PS3) like myself and you use Netflix to rent Blu-Ray videos, you are now subject to a higher monthly fee. I’m currently subscribed to the two-videos-at-a-time plan, which puts me at a three dollar premium. Oh no!

So really, why does anybody care? If you own a Blu-Ray player, you can afford three bucks a month. PC World says, “Time to Switch to Blockbuster?” Give me a break. There’s a reason you chose Netflix, and it’s not for the price. The evil blue empire has run local video shops out of business for years. It’s about time someone challenged them at their own game.

Be a champ, don’t make the switch. Either pay the premium or watch normal DVDs for the same old price.
