My latest site is finished and live: www.johnfunnell.com
Please take a look and let me know what you think.
All those of you out there that are waiting for news about Origen; I’m currently writing up my experience as a full diary of my 6 day trip to LA. Needless to say, it will be posted as soon as I’m finished (either today or tomorrow). Thanks for being patient since I couldn’t get my hands on cheap internet access.
Rather unsurprisingly I’ve been undertaking some rather extensive research of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 (why? see “Heaven Indeed”), I’ve come across what appears to be the first autopsy of the console itself.
Quite an interesting read by all accounts.
Needless to say I’m chomping at the bit…
1 day, 20 hours and 20 minutes to go!
Being a somewhat avid gamer (hardcore, if you will), I trawl various computer games news sites on a daily basis. A couple of months ago, they all started reporting a strange new viral marketing site called Origen that displayed nothing but a tree with a countdown behind it. It was all highly intriguing so I decided to come back when the countdown reached zero (sometime in September).
Long story short; it turned out to be a competition, run by Microsoft, to enter what was described as “heaven for gamers.” I won’t get too caught up on explaining it, so for more detail, here’s a full description of Origen.
Having entered the competition, I forgot all about it. Until last week, that is…
Last week, whilst off work sick with a rather nasty migraine, I received a phone call from a chap at Xbox. To my utter amazement I was the first of the eight total winners of Origen. I was past the doorman, through the cloakroom and well on my way into “heaven for gamers.”
To be honest, I nearly wet myself with excitement.
It turns out I’ve won an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles from the 18th to the 23rd of November where I will be flown from Santa Monica airport via private jet to an, as yet, undisclosed location somewhere in the Mojave Desert. There I will be a V.I.P guest at the US launch party of the Xbox 360 console.
Quality.
So anyway, needless to say I will be blogging the entire event (with pictures). Anybody know any good internet cafes in Santa Monica?
Having been rather busy over the last week or so, I feel I have been neglecting my blog. Mind you, I’ve had some pretty good reasons. Unfortunately I’m not a liberty to divulge the best of them just yet…
On another note, I’ve been working on a website template for a good friend of mine; a Trance and Hard Trance DJ currently doing the rounds in London. I’m really very happy with it and, judging by his reaction to the comps, so is he. Hopefully the finished product will be up within the week so I’ll be able to point you there soon.
As usual, keep watchin’ this space…
I’ve been somewhat lacking in the posting department recently, so let me make up for that with a rather important one:
PPK, Scott Andrew LePera and Dean Edwards have announced a winner to the addEvent() recoding content.
John Resig’s addEvent() and removeEvent() functions solve all the nasty little problems with Scott’s original version of addEvent() and his blog entry makes for an interesting read.
