"A butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a tornado in a certain location."  The Butterfly Effect Theory has always been something that has intrigued me.  The idea of a seemingly small unimportant event effecting the environment on a much grander scale.


As an interested player of Eve Online, that pops in and out of the game sporadically, I'm interested in the games concept in relation to this theory.  With hundreds of thousands of players in one "universe," small actions are bound to affect the universe on a much greater scale.  Take a look at the video and let me know what you think. As a lone wolf, I often feel my effect on the universe is non existent.  I may look at things a little differently now.

It's was a good busy weekend starting Friday with an apartment warming party at my friend Evan's place.  After a treacherous walk through the rain soaked streets of downtown Denver we arrive and socialized with a good group of people.

Woke up early Saturday to go for a ride with Greg and Dan.  As always I was a little late to the meeting when I did finally arrive we hung out for a bit because of the parking lot being packed because of the Mile High Nationals at Bandamere.  Got a free 180 energy drink which wasn't very good.  We rode north through Golden up in the hills.  It was a fun and new route marred only by the slow speeds because of the slow traffic.  Riding through Black Hawk/Central City was pretty neat.  It's amazing how things look different under the visor of a helmet.  We finally arrive in Idaho Springs where I had to use the little boys room and Dan needed to um...stretch his legs because of the previous nights activities.  We ate some excellent pizza at Beau Jo's and the went home.  The night was fun as Thuy came over with home made egg rolls.  We hung out watched a movie and played a little bit of video games.

I woke up entirely too early Sunday to meet Camille and her husband at High Plains Raceway for RMVR races.  It was hot and long but a fun day.  The most interesting event of the day was the remote control Blue Angels Jet having a rough landing and losing it's nose wheel as seen above.  I started up WoW again last night and Jesse, Dan, Ray and I ran Utgarde Keep.  I'm now 33% through 73 and am excited to nerd it up again.

That's about it for my weekend, what did everyone else do?

So today is E day the second coming, a rough day of work, teetering with anticipation led to a lucky apprehension of a Collectors Edition of Gears of War 2. I spent the night truly delving into my geekism and spent a friday night alone in my basement playing Gears with friends. The night flew by, as familiar feelings returned with the thrill of victory and the bitterness of defeat. It is time for me to retire as my sleep this week has been limited. Good night all and my heart is with the COG soldiers fighting the valiant fight!

So Gears of War 2 comes out tonight and after much debate of whether or not I should go to the midnight launch, I've decided I would rather spend time with my sweet sweet lady...I hope she knows the sacrifice's I make for her! ;-)
