Zen and the Art of Video Gaming
I normally only play video games for a few hours on the weekend. It's not that I relegate them to only the weekends but that they just fit in better there. I like to keep my weekend mornings quiet and laid back. Get up at 10, have some coffee, listen to the humorous weekend NPR shows all while playing some games. This leaves the rest of the ( Read more... ) -

Who Notice / Finale
So it looks like all us Dr Whooligans (?) will have to wait till 2010 for the next season of Dr. Who, but it should have David Tennant in it.

While I will miss having a season's worth of Who time, I'm hopeful these specials will be better done than the average episode. I ( Read more... ) -

The Safety of Bumper Cars
The Fremont Fair came and went a few weeks ago, and as part of it a local group went around asking
fair goers how they would make the world better. I kind of expected a little more, and was a tad surprised there weren't calls for more nude bike rides (nsfw), but one entry got me thinking. The premise of there being bumper cars on the highway had ( Read more... ) -
30 13 6
This past week I started walking to work. I've kinda wanted to stop driving for a while; I tested out biking it and would have probably started that, however it was less than ideal. Also, walking my normal driving route wasn't great either as it's about 3 miles, doable, but a tad more than I'd ideally want ( Read more... )
