NoLimits Rollercoaster Simulation 1.0 Genre: Simulation About NoLimits Rollercoaster Simulation Focusing on realism and speed, NoLimits lets you ride real existing coasters, or build a roller coaster to your own specifications - with 13 different track styles, including inverted, hyper-coasters and wooden coasters. [Mac OS X Downloads] Very Cool. Yeah, there have been roller coaster simulators, but this is the first time I've seen real roller coasters being modeled. One of the included roller coasters is Revolutions at Six Flags Magic Mountain, in Souther California. I worked there in HS and early college as a ride operator, and I still think fondly of those days. Back then, the roller coasters were manually operated, and required extensive training to run the control board. I should write up some of those memories someday... 3:41:29 PM    trackback []

Blogging for Dollars - I have a job One day on Skype, I jokingly remarked to Stuart Henshall, that I'd love to blog for money. Be careful what you wish for :-), because on Monday I started a full time position blogging for dollars. More details later such as the name of the company (which is in flux). Meanwhile check out the current blogs that I am being paid for (more to come!): developer.e-xact.com Geekmail's blog (RSS) www.rolandtanglao.com and VanEats will continue to be labours of love and are not being paid for by anybody!
