In my everlasting attempt to create things to entertain people, I’ve made video games, blogs, radio shows, contests…lots of things, and it’s all been fun, but I have yet to make a web-based game that I consider successful. I’ve tried but it never worked out like I had hoped. I’m trying again and this time it just feels right.

In a world of Word and Google Docs it’s easy to overlook Notepad. Notepad sits quietly in Windows just waiting for some action. Every time that quick thought or copy/paste moment enters your brain, Notepad gets excited. Then feels bitter disappointment when you go to Word or some on-line app. It’s time to make Notepad happy.

Trials HD from the Xbox Live Arcade is another title saved by having a big TV. When I played the demo on my old TV, I just couldn’t get into the experience. The graphics were too dark and too small. But now, they’re awesome. This is game is what you’d get if Excitebike was really exciting.

Remember going to the circus? I remember going almost yearly when I was little and I was always excited, but then when we got there it was always a little disappointing. I guess it’s because I’m the video game generation and gas like a minibike in a sphere didn’t really amaze me. Thankfully though, as an adult there is another circus to enjoy - pro wrestling.

I love the idea of a tablet PC. They make sense to me, but whatever tablets come out this year - Apple, Microsoft, whoever - they need to include one thing for me to buy them: let me write on it.

What goes up, must come down. And that old addege applies to toys as well. When it comes to building toys, you almost guarantee that any sort of giant structure is going to come down, usually in a most spectacular way. At one point during my childhood I had a toy that was a little different than other building toys - it was meant to come down.
