Oh my, such FUN!

In the bitter electoral race for the Hundred Acre Wood, all the animals are urging Eeyore to concede the election.

YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!

Ooooohhhhh how I’ve waited for this day. Now all I need is a DVD player!

Now that I’ve quit rambling, Digital Leisure has released Dragon’s Lair On DVD. I ooo’d and aaah’d and drooled over this game back in the day when it was on the arcade. There have been several ports that used the same name for the NES, SNES, Sega and such but none could capture the same quality and gameplay. Go buy this today and get to wastin some quality time in front of the tube!

These smart dust devices bear curious resemblance to devices discussed in Vernor Vinge’s novel, A Deepness In The Sky.

In “Deepness”, these devices are known as “localizers”, and with their limited distributed computation, surveillance, and movement abilities, they prove to be a cornerstone of space-faring civilization. With a cloud of localizers in a microgravity environment, construction becomes a matter of simplicity, as a single person can easily manage many independent objects at once. For more info, go buy the book. I liked it.

For your geeky Dungeons & Dragons needs: 101 Spells Not Worth Memorizing.

While I understand the vast medical significance of this discovery, I’m not sure I can feel comfortable in a world with immortal foreskin.

You can look up distrust, sorrow and manipulation on your own. Oh yeah, just for kicks, here’s boogie as well.

Mike Muuss, author of the network tool ping, died in a car crash early this week.

More memetic infection: The Pi??ata Manifesto, by Beth Roberts. I highly recommend this, as it is a nice summation of current memetic theory, and you don’t have to buy a book. Or fall asleep reading Dawkins, like me. 🙂

In a fit of crazed technolust, I reactivated my Motorola Advisor Gold pager this weekend.

People ask me “Why didn’t you just get a cellphone?” My answers:

• You would call me.
  • I don’t want you to call me.
    • If you called me and I didn’t answer, I would have to pretend to feel guilty.
      • With a pager, I can easily say “I wasn’t near a phone.” Guilt-free!
