Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

Reparations1

I'm not sure if this cartoon is funny or whether I've used the term "reparations" in a historically correct context, but whatever -- I just wanted to post a cartoon of a shark wearing a suit and tie.

The San Jose Sharks have made it to the conference finals two times now, and they have yet to win a home game in this round. In their previous WCF in 2004, the Sharks were able to even a series on the road after dropping games 1 and 2 at home -- can they do it again?

Go Drama.

Completely off-topic, but one thing I’ve recently been impressed with about my iPhone. I’ve only tested it twice, but apparently my Sudoku app has a function where I can take a picture of a printed Sudoku puzzle and it will decipher and create the same puzzle on my own screen — where with enough hints they’re all solvable.

I’m pretty damn impressed — it’s pretty basic visual number-recognition stuff, but it’s fairly fascinating to try out. So far it’s 2-for-2 on accuracy, too.

Which app is this? I’m getting an iPhone in September and I enjoy Sudoku.

It’s called Enjoy Sudoku, and when I bought it it was $2.99. Now know I’m pretty app cheap — I’ve only paid for three apps in my iPhone’s life, but this is the only one I don’t regret.

It’s made me a way improved solver, and whenever you’re stuck on any puzzle it can give you hints and talk you through the steps you’re stuck on — I’m now a fairly comfortable “Devious” player, still trying to wrap my head around the concept of WXYZ-wings.

I know a lot of the tricks, I hate when you have to start mentally putting a number into a spot and following it until it breaks.

I’ve been playing ‘expert sudoku’ on my iphone, but I can only handle the lower settings on that one before I start breaking my brain.

That’s cool, my G1 has some app called Google Goggles where I can take a picture of something and it recognizes the item and performs a search. Not as cool, plus when I tried it, it worked 0% of the time.

But it does have a physical keyboard. Take that.

So are the shark and the Blackhawk married, or is this like reparations for what was done to the Native Americans in the past…by sharks?

That’s a pretty nice suit on that shark.

It’s the Native American angle — some made-up story about the Blackhawk tribe being driven out of San Jose.

But I think it works as a divorce storyline, too — we’ll see what happens in the BoC movie version.

for those of you bitting your nails about manna’s game or those of us awaiting October, here is a game to play

Air Force Test

The object of the game is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls. If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. It’s been said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes.

This might be better than Earl’s Sudoko app.

lol i used to play a lot of video games like that when i was a kid, like Gradius if anyones ever heard of it, and just recently i’ve been playin an asteroids-like game on Steam called Beat Hazard; so i was well prepared.

Although to be honest the first 5 minutes of playing I was always around 16 to 18 seconds, after another 5 mins i just started memorizing shit in order to get a better time.

by Khaaz on May 20, 2010 7:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

Anyone who liked that game, and likes getting seizures, check out that “Beat Hazard” game. It’s like asteroids except that the levels are based off the music you play. It’s a game that basically combines Asteroids and Windows Media Player visualizations to make an addicting game. It’s awesome when your high lol.

that would be the anti-Sharks fans. I imagine they’re similar to the Ducks “fans” that only show up to games in the playoffs and complain that they’re only there because they couldn’t get tickets to the Angels game going on down the street.
