Some friends of mine have been working on a 'breakout' style game. I put breakout in quotes because it's not just a simple copy of breakout. They've added a lot of cool stuff to the game.

I'm about to embark on a learning exercise. I want to get my head around Flash to see if I can enhance New Metal Army. So I go to the Adobe website and click through to product demos... register (why do I have to register for EVERYTHING) and click on the download trial button... firefox redirects all over the place and then nothing happens! So I try it in Safari... nothing happens.... I give up!
The next day (determined to get somewhere) I run VMWare Fusion, go in to IE and after a million click sounds I start downloading the Mac version of Flash CS3. So I need Windows to download the Mac version...grr
Being a good netizen I decide to file a ticket against the problem:

You may have heard of Expelled the movie. It's a movie about how creationist scientists are expelled from the science community for thinking 'outside of the box'.
Well this scientist has an excellent story about how HE was expelled from the queue for the movie... but there is an awesome twist to the tale.
