It’s already November-freaking-twentieth. How does this happen? Where does time go? Next thing you know, tomorrow will be New Year’s. Wow.
On Being Tired
Back from Baltimore. Long trip. Eyes hurt. Really tired. Work tomorrow. Sleep!
On another Road Trip
On the way to Baltimore. Visit my grandmother’s house, make sure the pilot light in the furnace is lit, and other assorted odds and ends. I’ll be back to work on Thursday. E-mails, don’t expect a reply until Friday at the earliest. Peace.
On Xbox 360 Compatibility
Microsoft released today a list of XBox games that will be playable on the XBox 360 with the optional hard drive installed. The list runs to about two hundred games across many genres.

Today the BBC released pictures of the Cybermen as they will appear in the upcoming season of Doctor Who. Let’s take a look, shall we? Looks pretty spiffy, doesn’t it? 🙂
On the Galley sling
This post will be hopelessly geeky. My apologies in advance. Digging through AOE3 Heaven‘s webpage today I discovered an intriguing strategy for Age of Empires III—the Galley sling. No, I have no idea what the term “Galley sling” means, because it uses neither galleys nor slings because I didn’t invent it. I did, however, tryContinue reading “On the Galley sling”
On Cow Tipping
Physicists study strange things. Like how many people it takes to tip a cow. In their words, it takes five people to apply sufficient force to tip over a sleeping cow. I disagree. It does not take five people to tip over a sleeping cow. It does, however, take more than one. Cows weigh aContinue reading “On Cow Tipping”
