Escape From LA - The Museum Day
Leaving a place crystallizes all the things you always meant to do and never got around to. My list includes hitting the remaining best-ice-cream parlors of LA and many museums. With GangstaSwan in tow, a couple of those got crossed off the list today.

Good reading - An intelligence report from the Cold War
A recently (partially) declassified document on the history of TEMPEST.
Background: TEMPEST is the reconstruction of signals from electronic noise or actual sounds made by that equipment.
Example, you could see anything that was on an old-fashioned computer monitor from a quarter mile away or more, through a brick wall. The trick was to hook...

Curse my Yahoo home page for its dirty lies!
Good riddance to FailPrez, and a warm welcome to a new president who gives every sign of sucking very little if at all.

All of it. What is even more odd is that I NEVER remember my dreams. I want to keep wearing these patches!
There's an insidiously addictive element in the game design of Fable II that I haven't seen before. There are craft skills you can perform to earn in-game money. The more you do them, the better your character gets, the more he gets paid. But they also have investments that pay back in-game money in real time, even when you're not playing. For me the net...

zaksmith:
here's is the game-design jargon-term i have just now coined for this kind of incentivization:
"momming"
as in "Super Mario Bros. moms you into wanting to smash every brick in the game at least once, just in case there's something under it. Also, it was one of the first games that mommed players into publicly discussing the game since there were so many secret features"
"momming" contrasts with "dadding" which is like: "Star Wars Clone Wars Light Saber Duels features extensive dadding at the beginning: you can't get to the main quest without going through a training level where you play that annoying raccoon-looking jedi and anakin tells you what buttons to press."
you heard it here first.

Yeah, I have the bookstore too. Also, the vegetable stand is a good investment cause you can get cheap celery... health + thinness to balance out those pies.
I will, sometime soon, be hosting a movie night tribute to the late Patrick McGoohan and the late Ricardo Montalban. If you have a preference to exert regarding time, or regarding which particular episodes or movies are shown, say. I'm thinking Wrath of Khan and an as-yet-unchosen episode of The Prisoner.

I'm sure the buggering might have something to do with it. *insert sheep icon here*
I can attest to the fact that you tried, pathetically, to retire at a decent hour. But the effort was so half-hearted that it could only be interpreted as begging to be forced to stay away for another three hours.

That sounds more like it, excellent! Yes I think when I read that about Saint-Exupery that mysterious tragic kind of death in regard to how beautiful his subject matter sounds seemed to make another fascinating story in itself.

hey it was great to see you last night! xo
Back from seeing my family for the holidays.
Introduced my old man to XBox. Hoping to game with him someday soon.
Got my mum set up to listen to her favorite podcasts on long drives.
Played many games of Agricola with friends I rarely get to see.
Life is good.

is it sold already?

Saaaad.
Amazon just auto-pranked me. They sent eMail saying that all the Christmas gifts I'd sent out would be arriving on the 29th, not the 24th like they'd said before. Then they took it back.
I was a little worried about the tech toys I'd sent to my older relatives. Someone needed to be on hand to explain those.
