Last night I listened to a podcast from www.massively.com discussing the latest expansion to Lord of the Rings Online, Mines of Moria. The hosts started out talking about what games they were playing lately, and one who had just recently come to LotRO described it as “a revelation”. That’s a pretty strong word to use [...]

In bed with poutine-loving separatists!
Interesting post, Sneaky. Of course, the whole thing strikes me as being mostly party hackery to convince people that the new alliance has the right to form the government. I would agree that they do, but bitching about how the system distorts the seats allocated versus the votes won is kind of silly. Everyone knows [...]

Oh. Canada.
Here is an interesting post that a friend linked on facebook about the current happenings in Canadian politics. I’m sure all of you already know about coalition government and no confidence votes, etc. But I didn’t know some of the details about all the Canadian political parties and divvying up the seats in parliament.
Vingt-neuf!
I’m 29 today. Frankly, I barely notice my birthday, and if my lovely wife hadn’t been reminding me about it for the last month or so I might have forgotten, at least for most of the day. Thanks to everybody who messages or calls or whatever.
I don’t think I’ll do much of anything today. I [...]
Obama and Good Government
Obama is getting a lot of praise right now for how he is handling the transition. His cabinet is not only diverse, but impeccably qualified. He has displayed a down-to-business attitude saying “Let’s work fast, but let’s not make mistakes”. His flurry of press conferences have signaled a return to the principles of open government, [...]
Happy Birthday, Naft!
Happy Birthday, Naft. One year away from the big THIRTY. Frightening.
It seems like just yesterday that we were young, happy-go-lucky kids – playing video games, watching the Longhorns, talking about movies (Yes, Ranmafan – War Games is the greatest movie about computer games set during the Cold War!)
Oh wait… we still do all these [...]
Diversity in Obama’s Cabinet
Black president, black AG, female Sec DHS, female Sec State, black female UN ambassador, latino Sec Commerce, toupée-wearing budget director…that is a very diverse cabinet so far.
With Richardson’s appointment, some are upset that he didn’t get picked for Secretary of State or that Obama didn’t name a Latino until halfway through his cabinet. Other advocacy [...]
Richardson – Cabinet Whore!
Energy Secretary, UN Ambassador, now Commerce Secretary…I like Bill Richardson, but seriously, this guy is a cabinet whore! He just can’t say no! I’m sure he was wanting to be Secretary of State, but being a cabinet whore means that you can let your standards slip. If you can’t go to the [...]
I’m so tired.
No more all night editing sessions for me (well, actually until 4:30a.m). Hopefully the paper I was working on turned out ok, but today I was a wreck. I had to do 3 lessons that I wasn’t well prepared for because of schedule changes; the classes had been cancelled for the running competition that got [...]
