Work day 2

7:01pm JST Tuesday 19 April 2011 (day 15000)

Good day at work today, researching 2D engines for an android app we plan to make. I'm half thinking we should use Unity 3D so we can do cooler apps later, but another part is thinking it's good to just use the size of an engine we need. AndEngine + Box2D will probably be my choice in that case.

Yay 15,000 days old! With Lin driving to her house now for cake and party time! I was telling her the extended remix version of janette, rewinding all the way back to my pre-SPB days at UH.

Before I publish this entry and entry from a couple days ago, I need to write to janette, M & M & M, Dude, Fred, my dad to tell them of our engagement!

This looks like the easiest tutorial I've found, and he has 4 or 5 parts.
