Hipster Zombies

If you love shooting zombies and poking fun at hipster culture, there is one way to satisfy both of your cravings.  Hipster Zombies is a fun light hearted game for Android (and iOS, but ehh) in which you fight off undead hipsters armed with what else but a gun that fires cans of PBR and other hipster paraphernalia.

As you kill the undead you gain coins which you can use to upgrade weapons or buy new ones such as vinyl records and mason jars.  You can also purchase coins from the game store. Occasionally you gain extra coins for "ironic kills" destroying the brain munching scenesters with a taste of there own medicine, pipe smoking hipsters with tobacco pipes, biking hipsters with a "fixie fork", etc.

You unlock different location to defend the more zombies you kill.  These locations become more and more difficult to defend as you go along.  The area you need to defend grows larger giving the zombies more points of attack.

In the most recent update the game started utilizing Google Play Game Services, adding achievements and leader boards.  Which personally is one of my favourite new features of gaming on android though I'm one of the few in my circles using it.

Despite the fact that I am highly offended that apparently riding bikes and smoking pipes is "hipster" Hipster Zombies is a fun, simple, well designed and ironic... game that is worth a look.

Overcome evil with good.

Romans 12 is a beautiful passage of scripture.  You can say that about many parts of The Bible but this description of life following the risen Jesus is beautiful.  This morning reading this section I realized how nicely this wraps up: "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." We can fight evil without seeking out revenge.  We can live wisely without thinking of ourselves as wise.  We can be humble.  And, above all, we can love and serve God and one another. Transform your mind.

Bike disaster leads to awesome discovery about my neighborhood.

  While replacing the tire on my front wheel last week my quick release just completely fell apart.  Being a bicycle maintenance noob I said to myself "No!  Now I need to go buy a whole new wheel!" (and quick because this is my  commuter bike ) I quickly hopped in the car and drove down town to the local bike shop downtown, which was closed.  Apparently the owner is "biking and eating in Italy." I have only ever known of this one bike shop in The Dalles.  In desperation I did a search for bike shops near The Dalles and low and behold a location popped up just blocks from my house.   T & Nae's Cycles is a little appointment only bike shop a couple operates out of their house.  I didn't know it was appointment only at the time so I just hoofed it up there to see if they could help me fix my bike.  Luckily somebody was home and willing to help me out.  Once I explained to him my problem he  got me the part I needed (for free! ...
