Star Defense game app by ngmoco has been my latest time killer – ie. waiting in the checkout line at the supermarket. I had no idea i liked defense games until I tried them. StarDefense ranks up there with Fieldrunners, if not even better.

It’s a lot less time consuming, and it didn’t take me too long to finish the game on ‘normal’ mode.

Some tips for those of you looking…because I sure couldn’t find any online.

- Third planet in was the hardest for me
- I use everything except the electric tower thing
- On slight occasions the electric coil was used in a tight space where it covered at least 3 sides of damage since it’s so slow
- a healthy balance of the rest of the arsenal is needed
- it staggers, but i tend to use the plasma blasters more, then the cannons, the slow guns in good spots just before there’s heavy artillery, and the quantum canon laser thing more and more towards the end – it’s got excellent coverage – and is needed more for the viceroy that show up in the last half of a round.

good luck!

What do you think?

Check out this “Dream the impossible” documentary by Honda. My favorite quote – Learn to adapt with the planet or get off. This applies to so many realms of life, faith, and innovation.

Flight Control is a hot new app that’s addictive but also easy to put down. The game only lasts for a few minutes and all you simply do is help guide airplanes down a track. It makes great use of the iphone/ipod touch screen interface.

Search for it on the app store. Here’s my top score… I haven’t been able to topple a hundred again for quite a while now.

My wife loves Toberlone Chocolate and I love Bacon.

It was inevitable that one day the two shall meet.

From what I can tell this is a planetary first with Toblerone. There is one high end chocolate vendor out there, Vosges that offers a bacon bar.

Here’s my version.

Take bacon, layer it on paper towel, on a dish. Microwave for 4.5 minutes. This makes the bacon easily crisp while soaking up the oil – put a paper towel on top as well. (careful, microwave too long and it’ll probably catch fire).

Break up the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and melt it on 50% power for 2-4 minutes. Check every minute and stir making sure it doesn’t burn.

It’d be great if I had long half cylindrical trays, but I don’t. Best I could do was dip the chocolate, and then smother the saucy toberlone on afterwards on some parchment paper.

Let it cool in the fridge a couple hours.  Enjoy!

I guess this is why. woops. took forever cleaning up last night.

Why tribes, not money or factories, will change the world – Seth Godin (2009).

Seth Godin argues the Internet has ended mass marketing and revived a human social unit from the distant past: tribes. Founded on shared ideas and values, tribes give ordinary people the power to lead and make big change. He urges us to do so.

… that and some breakfast in bed.
