Every single update I’ve applied to my Dell Desktop running Vista has resulted in crashing the system. The updates have NEVER installed correctly and I’m always forced to do a system restore. Instead of throwing my PC off the roof, I decided to write a Haiku. Enjoy!

Vista, Why O Why?
Install the upgrade, You CRASH!!!!!
Return to Sender!!!

I challenge all those who are frustrated with Vista to come up with your own Haiku and leave it in the comments.

At the COB today I will choose my favorite and the person will WIN a free 5-pack of stickers and your very own Ball Revamped Squishy.

Just wanted to say it was great to meet a bunch of aweseome developers and portals this last weekend. Here’s a link to the photos we took.

As many of you know, Hero Interactive joined forces with Armor Games in December of 2008 to give our users the opportunity to win a cache of amazing prizes including a Play Station 3! The rules were fun and simple: create an awesome puzzle using Hero Interactive’s game StarShine 2 Puzzle Master and submit it. That’s it!

Congratulations to all five of our lucky winners! Your names and puzzles will be featured on the HI blog and newsletter as well as on the Armor Games blog. You will be contacted about receiving your prizes.

We are very proud of the success of this contest and truly enjoyed playing through all of your puzzles - it was extremely difficult to choose only five. We invite you all to participate in our future contests…anyone can win!

I recently had the privledge of going to Peru to help distribute Wheel Chairs to those in need. The organization we partnered with was ‘Free Wheelchair Mission‘, and they have a goal to distribute 20 Million Wheel Chairs worldwide.

The typical cost of Wheelchair is $100+, but FWM developed a Wheelchair that cost $52 to build and this includes shipping to a 3rd world country.

I would encourage everyone to watch the video on their homepage and consider giving $52 to provide a Wheelchair for someone in need.

Here’s a 2 Minute highlight video from the Peru trip (Click Here)
