I can rebuild it. I have the technology. I have the capability to make the world's first bionic web site. Game Buzz will be that web site. Better than it was before. Better... stronger... faster. Okay, so I don't really know how to make Game Buzz "bionic", but I have already been working to make it better, stronger, and faster.
I am working on two new news systems. Once one of them is complete, new content should be posted more frequently.

I have been planning to post information about several recent events of interest for quite some time now, but I have been keeping myself a bit too busy to do much work on my web sites, especially research and extensive writing. The continuing apparent void of any decent jobs in web development or even technical support or software testing around here (and the unavailability of such rare positions to someone who has not yet earned a college degree) have kept my job search from taking up very much of my time, which is not in all ways a good thing since landlords still want their outrageous rents while food and transportation are still not free, but I have managed to make the most of my current period of unemployment by burying myself in collegiate studies.
Having finished the winter quarter at school this week (except for one class in which I will need to take the final examination at a later date due to a recent illness involving stress, curry powder, caffeine, and stomach acid), I can now spare enough time to post links to some articles you might want to read if you missed them. Here they are in alphabetical order:

Now that I have a short break from school, I have reconnected my new Nintendo GameCube (I bought it when I had no time to play games because I received a free copy of Metroid Prime and a free memory card for buying it then, so I just tested everything then put it all away and left it unplayed until today) and I played both Metroid Prime and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker a bit today. I will try to post my first impressions of each within the next couple days or so.
