Thought for the Dazed

I've had to give up that Distance Learning course as I was having trouble seeing the teacher.

Now that's what I call Silly

I've just spent 24 quid. That is probably what some people spend on drinks on a Friday night. I could have got half of Bioshock for the 360 (which number one son says is worth a punt). I could have bought "Elite Beat Agents" for the Nintendo DS (but I don't have to because number one son got me it for my birthday). Instead I've bought:

www.verysillygames.com

- for two years. I know I could have got it cheaper, but I like to have all my domains in one place and I've used my favourite company for years and they have a very easy to use interface.

It occurred to me that I'm going to need a place to put all the silly XNA games that will form part of the book. So I bought the domain. At the moment it points into this site, but that can change. Anyone fancy setting me a site up for 25% of the equity, a profit sharing scheme and fringe benefits (in other words no money at all)?

Oh and Chapter 3 is coming along nicely. I should have it on the site some time next week. Prepare yourselves for the gaming sensation that is "Color Nerve" (note American spelling in vain attempt to increase market penetration).

I wish I were clever enough to come up with and buy fun domains like VerySillyGames.com. Maybe I'll take you up on the amazing income possibilities. Too much extra income has nasty tax implications so this sounds wonderful. :-)

As for using American spelling, there are some in America who find the British spelling exotic and adding to the flavour (note British spelling to fake having class. Some American think that all English are abover averaget in class).I've been known to throw around words like boot and bonnet when talking about cars as well to pretend an international worldliness that I don't really have.
