Excuse Me

Sorry for the lack of updates. When I installed sNews, I had a lot of stuff planned. Long story short that never happened. I've been chugging along the past week or so just cleaning up stuff around the site that should have been fixed long before I even opened v4. Whatever, my few readers probably don't care. This summer I should be getting my stuff together and fixing this place up.

Capture the Flag!

Today was my school's annual capture the flag day. At the end of the day, beginning at 4:30, two hundred +/- students and faculty play a game of capture the flag for two hours in a playing area of 18 acres.

Rules: Typical capture the flag. But, because there are so many people, there are four flags per team. If you capture a flag from the other team, you re-deploy it on your side. In this fashion if you capture a flag, the other team is essentially already down two points. Jails are about 50 yards from the midfield line, inside the crease (on our lacrosse field). If one person from your team tags one person in your jail, the entire jail is free. No chains. If you get tagged with the flag, you drop it where it is.

Setting: Some of the obstacles and land marks include our school, a wind turbine, a pond, two parking lots, a driveway, two lacrosse fields, an amphitheater, a bike path, power lines, and lots of woods.

The Teams: Blue and White, each evenly distributed with faculty and students from all grades.

The Outcome: Everyone said the blue team was stacked. The same thing happened last year as well. Despite what people said, white dominated with a final score of 7-1 (we captured all but one of their flags). Our jail had one free clear while the blue team had two.

That being said, I was on white and it was awesome.

Welcome to v4!

Welcome to Philipmac.com v4! I spent this weekend doing a lot of work on a new version of my site. I'm looking to kick things up around here - not just make it a ghost town. I've been getting more and more into working on free templates. So, if you give me some time I'll work out the bugs, add new features, and all that jazz. By the way, I'm using a content management system called sNews. It works off of one file, but it is still very powerful. All you web designers out there might want to check it out.

Under a Dead Ohio Sky

Ya, it's been a while since an update. But here's a new piece of artwork I worked on with Chris Angeloni [Sandman]. He really is amazing. Anyway, here's our result (click the thumbnail to expand).

JV Soccer Comes to an End...

But we still have varsity to go... I'm one of those swing players. :P
I can't say JV ended with a bang... actually we lost 6-0 in our last game. But I think that was my best game and the one I enjoyed most. That being said, I have a nice piece of art for you. Also, make sure to look out this weekend for an amazing collaboration I've had the pleasure to work on with an excellent Photoshop pal.
