So apparently the Russian Mig pilots aren’t so friendly when you take their picture as Top Gun would lead you to believe! This is a pretty crazy video that was supposedly taken from a Georgian unmanned UAV.
Yeah, it’s pretty freakin sweet.

I just got a hard drive for my Xbox 360 this weekend so I’ve been going through the list of games you can download to try them all out. At the end of the list I found myself taking a trip down memory lane with Virtua Fighter!
Virtua Fighter was one of the first great 3D fighting games I had on a console growing up. I was one of the 7 people who bought a Sega Saturn and I had both Virtua Fighter and Virtua Fighter II on it. The great thing about Virtua Fighter is that they keep the same characters and just add a few here and there giving you tons of punch-kick-throw combinations along with a fist full of nostalgia.
I’m almost tempted to buy the game to do a little Drunken Kung Fu with Shun Di or some of those back breaking spears with Wolf Hawkfield!
The only thing better than the characters are the unbeatably cheesy taunts that the characters use throughout the game.
Now lets see if I can find a 360 version of Panzer Dragoon or perhaps Daytona USA…..”Daaa tone aaaaAAAaaaa” [in an oddly high pitched voice]

Well it all started with my simple request for some gummy bears. At Blend we have a marker board in the kitchen that we use for quite a few different things (shopping lists, brain storming, etc.). Well I put up my usual request for more gummy bears (a must for production meetings) and then Sam came along and drew a couple simple pictures of gummy bear and a teddy graham and wrote TEDDY GRAHAM VS. GUMMY BEAR. Well from there Deane, gave the gummy bear a gun and shot teddy graham. So then someone gave teddy graham a spear and well…from there the battle ensued.

This was a much more painless process than I thought it would be. It really isn’t as big of a jump as I expected, as far as functionality goes and even admin navigation (or at least less than what I thought it was going to be when I got my first glances at it).
I just finished clearing up little “details” in my upgrade and here is a general review of what you need to do to upgrade.
- Download the wp 2.5 install.
- Move your current content from your home directory to a backup
- Unzip it to your public/htdocs/etc. (whatever you use for your site’s root directory)
- Copy your Plugins over
- Copy your themes over
- Copy the database credentials from good wp-config.php into your wp-config-sample.php and fill out the new “pass phrase” that they included in this install.
- rename the wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php.
- and like I forgot to do until tonight, move .htaccess file if you are using one.
Other than that, you just load up your home page (it will tell you that your database is out of date) and you can click on the link to upgrade your database.
and there you go…painless!
