If you live in utah time to get into snowboarding. Well, past time I guess but maybe next season, but all up in it. Utah is full of great places that you can access from salt lake. Brighton, Snowbird, they are all really fun.
Man my tech story begins so long ago I am embarrassed. I got to go to my cities gifted program when I was 12. They had computers there. We learned a lot. I made a choose your own adventure game by drawing the characters on paper in pencil, my friend made them show up better tracing with marker, then we used flatbed scanner and put them in mspaint to ad color with fill tool. Then used them as image tags in the html for the game.
We made another game that was in this weird environment called microsworlds, brb will check the internet to see if there is a fossil record...
My game was a maze game, your basic number pad controls for up down left and right, and your character is a turtle, and win you win the maze his head comes out of his shell and he eats some lettuce or whatever I had for him there. I loved that place more than anything but like most good things it was not to last.
The best part was if we finished our "work" early, the teacher let us test the new chose your own adventure games he was writing to see if we could beat the levels and advance and if it was fun for us. It was haha, it was a murder mystery game that I remember like clue. That is where I learned about a plant called foxglove that has a poison digitalis in it. The game taught things too it was really cool.
Man there was no operating system to speak of and the computers were made by ibm if that tells you how long ago. The microworlds disk was on 5.25" floppy what you know about that sonny?
