Don't have much complaints about 2013, mainly because it's gone by remarkably fast. The holidays are quickly approaching around the corner. I should know, I was at Walmart last Saturday and the Christmas tree displays are already up right next to Halloween decorations for Pete's sakes.

I would imagine they're counting on consumers in a mindset like this now even well before Black Friday/Christmas.

Speaking of holidays, I didn't realize Thanksgiving was so late this year. It's not until the 28th, I've been assuming for months it was on the 21st.

I don't think this has been addressed with the whole Weather All the Time thing, but I hope they overhaul some of these outdated 2008 graphics they're still using on certain live programming. I know it's such a minor thing, but it really bugs me that there lacks uniformity nowadays.

Whenever you get a broad upper level trough, you can expect little impulses or shortwave troughs to ride along the periphery of the main upper level trough. Those disturbances end up as your Alberta clippers, and they happen all the time.

Is it unusual to see a parade of clippers swing through the US this early in the season though? I thought they usually don't dive in until November and later.

We've had a steady light rain most of the day today, I don't know how much we picked up yet though.

I'm not sure anyone has the answer to this, but I've been wondering why is it that Comcast (maybe other cable companies also) is/are so slow to display an EAS bulletin? One was shown this evening for a teenage girl abducted here in GA, it took about 6-7 minutes for it to show up on Comcast after the bulletin played on the digital analog TV that has no cable.

EDIT: The audio message must of been recorded because it was exactly word from word from earlier once it played on the TVs w/ cable on it.

One of my most favorite games of all time!

You and I both!

SMW being the best one out of the whole series imo.

I never got the chance to play the original version on the NES, but I played the heck (and still own a working cartridge copy) of the GBA version. I've had it since it came out in 2001. The cape was my favorite power-up. I played this game just last month for old times sake.

This is the first project of the semester we had to work on.

Our assignment was to make at minimum a 15 second animation using only keyframe animations (Scale, Rotation, Position, etc.)

Everything is not perfect, but I did the best I could within the time I had to work on this which was about 3 weeks.

I spent a week before that redrawing Mario in Adobe Illustrator using the Pen/Shape tools. The Mario at 19-21 seconds in is just a still image (Time didn't allow me to redraw that Mario or the still Luigi in Illustrator.)
