			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>Sorry for not posting much lately. Haven&#8217;t had a whole lot to talk about. I&#8217;ve just been playing a lot of Fallout 3, which is totally awesome by the way. I&#8217;ve never been a really big RPG player, but this game is sweet. It&#8217;s a post-apocalyptic RPG set in Washington D.C., after a nuclear war with China. All kinds of fun.</p>
<p>Anyway, one of the reasons I&#8217;m popping in today is to bring to light Laura&#8217;s 365-Day project. She&#8217;s posting the photos on her <a href="http://www.earth2laura.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> and on her Facebook profile, I think. But some of them are really cool and good, like the one of <a href="http://www.earth2laura.com/?p=75" target="_blank">Pepper</a>.<br />
I&#8217;m finally starting to delve into learning C#. It&#8217;s about time I did because having more exposure to other languages is a good thing, and it makes me more marketable in the event that my job collapses (which is highly unlikely given how well we&#8217;re doing, but you never know).</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also probably going to learn Flash at some point too, especially with ActionScript. There&#8217;s another good thing to know. And I want to learn more about Java as well.</p>
<p>I was thinking, morbidly, that if I ever lost my job and became unemployed, there would be some pros:</p>
<ol>
<li>I would get unemployment benefits (although it would never make up for the income from a real job)</li>
<li>I would have lots of time to learn all these technologies that I want to learn to make myself more marketable</li>
<li>I would have lots of time to work on my own websites, like I&#8217;ve always wanted</li>
</ol>
<p>Overall it would still suck, but there would be a couple upsides, at least.</p>
<p>Well, back to the grind.</p>
