Well it's about time

With all the so called activist judges, and both parties working hard to erode the constitution and take our freedoms away one bit at a time, a president who's more confused that Whitney Huston on a coke binge, it's nice to see that there are still people with a little common sence left in this world. Whether you like firearms or not, the Second Ammendment of the Bill of Rights was created in order to guarantee the people a certain freedom, one that is representative of all the other freedoms we have come to enjoy. Even though this ruling does not give the people any new freedoms, at least it does not take one away.

Dude - I'm Getting a Revolution!

(burn) — Sat, 25 Mar 2006 06:32:34 GMT

Quote from Nintendo:

Iwata also announced partnerships with Sega and Hudson to offer downloadable access to their classic games via Revolution's Virtual Console. Revolution owners will be able to relive their past gaming glories from the Sega Genesis console by playing a "best of" selection from more than 1,000 Genesis titles, as well as games sold for the TurboGrafx console (a system jointly developed by NEC and Hudson).

Oh my god - the TG16! DOn't call it a come back. You are all going down in Bomberman '94!

video game screen captures

(novacodova) — Fri, 10 Mar 2006 19:24:01 GMT

Hey all,

I have been asked to design a poster for a gaming convention that will be taking place at The University of Minnesota Duluth. What I am looking for from theposse gaming pros is funny high quality screen captures that will be blown up to Life-Size proportions. You must have captured them I can't used images unless you captured them.

If you have any that you are willing to give up and made into a poster please e-mail them to me. Sorry I can't pay anything, because I am not getting paid anything, but I can probably send you a poster if I use your image. me@novacodova.com

I will update you all more about the convention when I know more.

Thanks,
Tony

Back to the future as we never wanted to see it

how to live in Madison

(burn) — Wed, 11 Jan 2006 08:42:06 GMT

my email is in my profile if you need more specific stuff - this is but a primer. and off the top of my head.

Kate -

Not sure what your plans are.. are you sub-leasing, going to go back to school, getting a job, asking for someone else?

Madison housing is normally broken down into six or seven districts.

assuming you want to live downtown in a college local I will throw only three up:

Near West - this is everything just west of the isthmus. This is the area includes the University proper. It stretches from Lake Medota (north) down to Lake Wingra (south) and as far west as Midvale blvd. This area is a mix of students (majority), families, and professors (I lived in near west throughout my college years). If you are looking to live with a bunch of people (IE renting a house) everything west of Park st. (151) and south of Regent st. is classic college houses (big porches, 3 to 5 room houses, backyards, parking)... price ranges from 1500 - 2500 a month during the school year (normally breaks down to 450 - 650 per person - utilities not included). Near west is nice because it lacks the whole 'shit where you live' feeling. There are house parties but for the most part you walk (or take the bus) to state street and the neighborhood is generally quite. The neighborhood is safe. driveway parking is normally included in the rent and street parking is readaly available.

central - everything on the isthmus... this includes the capitol, east campus, and state street. This area is college kids, bars, coffee shops, frats, sororities, the Memorial Union Terrace, civic center, and arts/humanities... if you are hanging out in Madison for the summer I guarantee you will spend most evenings here. While there are a lot of houses in this area the majority are apartment buildings. Recently this has been getting more trendy (especially up by the capitol)- I have been told that King street (the state street on the other side of the capitol) has become very saturated with trendy bars and restaurants. Parking up here can be, for lack of a better term, 'a bitch'. Living in center will basically put you in the heart of everything especially if you live a block or two off state. Rent here is around 600 - 1300 for 1-2 bedroom apartment.

Near East - just east of the Isthmus. don't live past Tenny park or you are too far to walk... and then you get into east. The more hippie side of town (Williamson st mostly)... food co-ops, hippies, grad students.

-----
things in the summer

Farmers Market - One of, if not, the nations largest farmers market is held every Saturday morning around the capitol... the entire capitol; you cant miss it.

Madison Zoo - it is in Henry Villas Park (north end of Lake Wingra) - its free - and surprisingly good for a free zoo.

Memorial Union Terrace - beer, sun, and the lake - free music on the weekend -- everyone is here... so get there early and grab a few friends, tables, beers, and get a tan.

---

moving stuff -

Everyone is homeless in Madison for 24 hours on noon August 14th to noon August 15th. Thats how the leases are written.

Madison has very strong tenant rights groups so you rarely hear of people getting screwed over by landlords.

if you are looking for a place to move into for the next school year start looking in Feb. By March most 'good' stuff is gone.

if you have specific questins about certain streets or companies I can tell you about them... if you need a person on the ground to give you some info i may be able to hook that up too.
