I am a college kid working on getting his computer science degree (emphasis in programming), and I’ve taken a class in some introductory Java (programming language). As of now I’m in summer time mode, and I’m not really doing much programming. I wanted to polish my skills and get better, so this summer I set myself a goal to make a simple Android (popular phone UI) application. I’ve already downloaded the Android developers package, along with a couple of other things that I need. If I get good enough at doing this, I could potentially make a little bit of money (with an application people are willing to pay for). How many times do you see an application in the Apple app store for $.99, and you think to yourself to buy it since its not that expensive. What if 10,000 thought the same things, and they all bought the application. I know some of the money has to go towards time and development, but its not bad if your going to run a solo project (like me). Who knows… In the future I can even add an application of my own to the already robust Apple app store. An update on the app I’m working on (and its details) will be revealed in my next blog.

As an original player of the first BioShock game, I am looking forward to see what 2K games has done in BioShock 2. So far all the ratings I have seen have been 4 stars or more. One of the new improvements the developers have added is 5 new multi-player modes. But what I am looking forward to see if there is an online multi-player mode because like most people I do not like people screen watching me and I like competition! And if you are big BioShock fan like me, a special edition of the game has been announced which will contain the game, posters, art book, etc. The release date is scheduled for February 9th, which also happens to be my Birthday! For those of you who are not familier with Bioshock, the game’s plot is a twisted set of little girls who need their Daddy who happens to be a machine that you play. You travel this underwater world called Rapture searching for these little girls. The main enemy in the campaign mode are zombie type creatures that have a various set weapons.
