Zephyrus of the Anemoi

Avery and I went to get our first father-son haircut. I’ve been getting my hair cut at a place called Chop Tops since I moved into my house, as it was nearby, they give you a beer with your cut, and they do a great job with my hair.

As it was decided that everyone needed a haircut today, I figured Avery could get his cut with me. This was a big hit.

Part of going to Chop Tops is the feeling of being pampered. As a guy, you don’t get that often, and you don’t usually need much to feel this way. Here, it’s simple: the stylists are all young girls, they bring you a drink, and they wash your hair. Avery was very excited about getting his hair washed after it was all over.

I don’t remember ever going with my dad for a haircut, since he was probably shaving his head by the time I was old enough to do so. It was really awesome to get to go just “be men” together, even if neither of us are really “men”, yet.

Warfare Incorporated is a game that was originally available for Palm devices in 2003. Recently, it was ported to the iPhone by Spiffcode, Inc. For anyone that has ever been a fan of Command & Conquer or Starcraft, this is an excellent purchase. It’s only $5 and has over 200 add-on missions that can be downloaded directly to your iPhone / iPod Touch. If you’ve got a PC or a Mac that’s running Windows, you can also design your own levels, host them yourself, and share them with your friends.

I started playing it last night, and am really impressed. It makes full use of the multi-touch features of the iDevice of your choice and despite having graphics that are identical to those from the original (not a detriment, in my opinion), still looks surprisingly nice. My only complaint is it can sometimes be difficult to scroll around the map quickly, or issue movement commands into a group of your own troops. Other than that, however, it’s a lot of fun and fairly robust.

So, if you’re looking for some awesome RTS action for your iPhone, this is the place to go.
