You're not at work; you can tell sexual jokes where women can hear them without the fear that one of them will accuse you of creating a "hostile environment." I'm sure the ladies would find this just as funny as the guys.

Sometimes I think I should write down my dreams, just to have a record of all the crazy stuff that goes on in my head while I'm not there. Last night I had a Pac-Man related dream. I had this white ghost-shaped balloon (not a yellow ball, for some reason), and I was running all over town trying

Draginol is one of several names used by Brad Wardell, CEO and founder of Stardock. Usually he goes by Frogboy, and I think I've seen him use an account with his real name once. As for why the Draginol persona is only a Veteran, I don't know. The ways of the gods are mysterious.

Yeah, you're right. There is a connection there. Though the real genesis of the abstinence article was just a passing idea I had that struck me as funny. I think the reason I was having trouble last night is because I'm not good at putting emotions into words, and I just had too much emotion about it in my head. I wrote more tonight.

HP had their wireless keyboards set up to choose between only two frequencies? Clearly they've never seen the dorms at RIT. Think high-rise with two computers in every room. Imagine trying to use a computer that was picking up the keystrokes on half the computers in even a 20ft radius.

Remember that blog entry I wrote from my bed with my laptop because I was sick of sitting in front of the computer? My mom remembered that article too, and she got me a wireless keyboard and mouse for Christmas. So now I'm sitting in bed watching TV and also typing. I can't actually read what

I've never heard of a company putting out bugfix patches for a game that was [b]more[/b] than a year old. With the original GalCiv, Stardock regularly put out minor updates for a bit more than a year. After that most of the new stuff went into the expansion pack, but they never charged for bugs they fixed.

I've heard a lot of talk from religious types about abortions and birth control. It kills babies, they say. And it undermines God's plan for human sexuality. "It's pro creation, not re creation." So what do they say people--teenagers and adults alike--should do instead of practici

Some people don't want any randomness at all; some people like it when stuff like this happens to spice things up. How about a setting during game set up? A slider that lets you go all the way from no random events except when colonizing a planet, to civil wars every year.

A friend turned me on to Pandora recently. That's the internet radio site that tailors its playlist to your musical tastes, based on attributes of the songs you tell it you like. (Like "mild rhythmic syncopation", "subtle use of vocal harmony", and "minor ke

Yeah, I thought of that too, but I have a tendency to make things more dramatic than they are, so I went with the more mundane possibility. Also, I was thinking of that Gary Lewis & The Playboys song. "This stone is genuine, like love should be. / So if your baby's truer than my baby was to me..."
