So, I was sitting at a red light earlier today. I had just come back from a service call that was so short I couldn't even charge for a full call. I was noticing that the windstorm going on was lifting my car to the top of the shocks, I had the AC on because inside the car, it was actually hot, etc...
... And then the wind started to blow ~really hard~. It was a bad enough windstorm before that, but the intensity just doubled almost for a good 3~4 seconds, followed by a really strange dull thud noise along with the kind of noise that sounds kind of like when you crinkle paper.
I looked back to see my rear windshield cracked. It's safety glass, so it's a bunch of little square/hexagon/octagon cubes that haven't actually gotten around to breaking yet.
I'm not sure if it was the internal pressure from the AC, or the relative vacuum caused by the increase in external air pressure. But, the windshield just shattered and started falling in.
I made 20 dollars fixing someone's computer. it's going to cost over 200 to replace the glass that went poof. *sigh*
On the upside, the cellphone game project (a vertical shooter) I'm working on is turning out well. The stage I worked on is a hit with the rest of the dev team.
I hope to blog more on that later on.
If you have a phone with google android, you're gonna want to play this when it comes out. It's seriously fun.
