TheJoey.Net is the weblog of Joe Casabona, a web developer who attends the University of Scranton, now for Graduate Studies. He is real bad at writing these about pages and hates writing in the 3rd person...more

I just found out about this great feature on del.icio.us that auto-posts the sites you tagged for the day. I figure Ill give it a pilot run, test any bugs it might have and see how it works out. Here is the first set…Later!
Since last Wednesday, until Wednesday, Tim over at Ctrl-Alt-Del is doing a tribute to his favorite games for their holiday, “Winter-een-mass”. He has picked some good ones- but today’s takes the cake so far. Here is his tribute to Golden Eye
Anyone who was old enough played Golden Eye for N64- One of the best systems of all time, in my opinion. As Tim put it:
Golden Eye was king of N64. First Person Shooters were relatively new then and Rare did a great job in making this one- I even beat this game. (While I do play a lot of video games, it’s kind of rare the i finish one. I didn’t beat Halo until like a week before Halo 2 came out). The best part, I think, was the multiplayer.
I remember especially on snow days, my friend Matt, my brothers Phil, Mike and Rob and myself would sit around in our playroom and play for hours on end. Matt and I were the best, and had some epic battles. While we would all usually argue over Bond, I would go for Jaws. OddJob was forbidden and if you used him you were ‘a bitch’. I’d like to thank Tim for writing about this game and allowing some of my fond memories to resurface about that game and N64 in general.

HipCal is a nice Web2.0 Calendar for anyone who is looking to use one. I have been using Yahoo! Calendar for a while, but that was mediocre. HipCal not only has a nice design and interface, but some great features.
First of all, it uses enough AJAX to make me drool with excitement and awe. Second of all, it looks pretty. The layout is neat and organized, but still has the information you need and would expect from a calendar. My favorite feature is the reminder. Not only does it have a feature to send you an e-mail when an event is nearing, but it will also send a TXT MSG to your phone. A great feature if you know you won’t be need a computer to get the reminder. If you are looking for a nice calendar program that is free, easy to use, and web based, this is your best bet. Later!
This was a story I had to post. What the man went through was rediculous, unethical and plain wrong. People who run their businesses like this should be locked up, never mind taking away their business license. I wonder how many unknown threats like this came from the same company. Later
So, yeah- there has been a lot I’ve wanted to say- but I really can’t find the time to sit down and write it. I’m banking on the fact that that will change at the end of this week when I go on Thanksgiving Break, which, baring tests or quizzes, I will be extending by 2 class days. But, for now, here are some links for you:
Busted Tees has a new shirt that I happen to find hilarious. I highly recommend buying it- I know I will!#
Save Arrested Development!- FOX has a knack for canceling great shows. AD is honestly the funniest show I have ever seen. It won 5 of the 7 Emmies it was nominated for, and FOX wants to oust it. We are hoping that with enough support, we can get them to bring it back, or get some other station to pick it up.#
I saw Trans Siberian Orchestra last night. Pics on the pics page. Later!
