The Alphabet Synthesis Machine. I'm not quite sure how to work it yet, but it seems cool. Experimentation to come, results to be posted.
Quote of the day, pulled from an article on Aint-It-Cool News:
"Suburban kids are almost distressingly in touch with nostalgia for their childhood."
And no, I don't exclude myself from that statement.

You know, it might be nice if, for a change, one of the worthwhile things in life weren't so damn hard.

Sadly I don't get to the RuneGame Forums much these days, so it was only today that I noticed Tim Gerritsen's terrific Rune post-mortem, answering a lot of long-standing fan questions and frustrations. It's a long series of posts, but worth reading for those interested in the inner workings of the game industry.
For crying out loud--an elf?

Given this list of word frequencies in the speeches of Microsoft honcho Steve Balmer, I immediately note a couple things: 1) he says his own last name more often than "Microsoft", and 2) you have to wonder what single occasion made him say the word 'woozy'...
From this story:
"The Pentagon is developing plans to provide news items, possibly even false ones, to foreign media organizations as part of a new effort to influence public sentiment and policy makers in both friendly and unfriendly countries, military officials said."
How weird is it that we're hearing about things in the discussion phase? It creeps me out, like government officials figure they can't be held accountable for saber rattling and morally questionable actions so long as the general public is told beforehand that it's being discussed as an option.
I'm alive! We'll start catching up shortly.
But first: why? Why, about once a week, do I get hit with this Google search?
