Flash game for the Air Force Reserve

This is a flash web game Seb and I did for an Air Force Reserve proposal. There are only 5 levels to show off the basic gameplay. Seb did all the art, I did the programming. I got the idea from the old moon lander games. Something I would change if there were future revisions, is to add a visual confirmation when you drop a person off at the hospital. There is no way of knowing on level 5 if you have successfully dropped a passenger off. When you land, the passenger should pop up next to the hospital as confirmation.

Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby

I need to learn how to program in Ruby. Specifically I need to learn 'Ruby on Rails'. I need it on the resume. Ruby is a difficult syntax for those ( like me ) used to C syntax. It would take a delicately written piece of genius tutorialship to sink Ruby syntax into my C-thinking brain. And I believe I have found such genius: Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby. Words can't do it justice, I have already said too much.

Quote of the Day

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

IMLF - The Instant Messaging Liberation Front

I am going to only use Skype from now on. If you need to contact me, I won't be on ICQ or MSN anymore. My Skype account is 'johnburkert'. I can't find an instant messaging client I like on Windows and I am tired of the clutter and confusion of all the contact lists from each different instant messaging account I have.
