Classic RPG: Fallout

I tried to load it and it didn't work under XP. I spend way to many hours at this game - it was great! This intro is haunting...

Starcraft 2: Oh Gods No

I bow down before our gaming slavelords. I was pasty white enough before I heard this...

I haf no idear...

I was trying to figure out why people were getting blog updates that linked to nowhere. Sorry if you received a few posts; I've deleted my friendster blog. It sucked. Hopefully you won't now get notices from the ether that lead back to nowhere. If you do, forward them on to my email so I can hunt them down and bind the pesky spirits to my will...

Aspri-rations

Robert Asprin's that is; I found "Myth Adventures: Volume I" on the shelf. Six of his first books in this series. There is a Volume Two too!

I couldn't resist, as the cover art was by Phil Foglio. Reminded me of Wormy and Phil & Dixie.

So I've completely avoided anything productive while reading this book all day. If you don't see me online, it is because I'm offline :D

Looking for Group...

If you haven't seen the web comic, and especially if you play WoW, then you should get over to Looking For Group...

Wireless ACKsess

I'm posting from my phone today.

I was in meetings last week and most of this week with no Internet connectivity. I honestly don't know how business intends on being a business if they don't provide wireless access openly, or at least with easy authentication. It isn't productive for the participants. It isn't a fair expectation that we must be 100% focused on their presentation and review. Some of us multitask well, and could stay longer and participate more fully if we could simply work on our laptop or pda.

Added to that, the number of users who have crackberries that walk away to come back after a period of time, certainly aren't any better than someone on a computer with split attention. This is one reason I think the iPhone will be incredibly successful. The premise is wireless without thinking about usage charges or how to connect. I get to experience some of that with my Sidekick, but they are still limited by their need to nickel and dime you; they are the phone provider, not the hardware or os and application provider. They have a vested interest in getting you to purchase a network plan to make them money or to restrict you application usage to not cost them money. That is a different mindset than enabling full use of your hardware and software and creation of new things for fun or function.

Here is to hoping I can get a new iPhone when they come out!

Going Down To Cowtown....

Well, no. I'm actually going home to NC. But somehow going south and the beach always reminds me of the They Might Be Giants song.

See ya online or back here later.
