Caught up with my friends in The South over the last few days and caught up on gaming. Lots of good times seeing folks who won't be known by anyone who reads this, but it's good to see my old best friends in the flesh, even if only once a year.

So how big is that surplus? So if you take Wikipedia as a kind of unit, all of Wikipedia, the whole project--every page, every edit, every talk page, every line of code, in every language that Wikipedia exists in--that represents something like the cumulation of 100 million hours of human thought. I worked this out with Martin Wattenberg at IBM; it's a back-of-the-envelope calculation, but...

I'm slow at responding sometimes. I think my wife was just messing with me about ED. I'm not sure. I know some med, or when I'm on a lot of meds, it's a little more work for full function. I don't know if you read my previous post, but the meds are actually having a positive effect, other than the one the doctor intended...
I bought a PS3. The new roomie's 1080p projector was too pretty to not plug something into that could push the pixels. (Also, I've been lusting after Eye of Judgment.)
Any of you kids on the PS3 network, give a shout out. I want buddies for this new virtual domain.

I can play for 24 stretches in real life no problem, online play is where I tend to get bored & distracted and let tired take hold a bit...

My own judgment says I'm happy with how things are between us.
It was just such a strange thing. And as my intern said last night, "She's asking for your help in getting a job and then pulls that card?"
I kept explaining I was poly and didn't care. I'm guessing she really just wanted some kind of a reaction.

Eating Kibble
When I was a lad, and played many games, there was a roleplaying game called Cyberpunk 2020 set in a grim, dystopian future. A future where hope had died, choked on a toxic smog cloud, washed by acid rain, because hope wouldn't shell out twenty-thousand eurobucks for lung and skin upgrades. In this gritty future, the porrest of the poor lived on "kibble"...

Petition to stop Uwe Boll from making films.
He's indicated he might actually do it if the petition hits a million signatures. It's at 122,000 now. For those not in the know, Uwe Boll is the guy who's butchered most every video game to movie conversion you've ever seen. He's got a real knack for it.

Last night's fever dream:
My sinuses are a platformer style arcade game / economic simulation. They're trying to maximize their profit by forcing the longest path through them while I'm trying to build a captivating story from sprites inspired by the lumps in my pillows.
That's where my mind is, 3/4 asleep and 4 days into the flu. Of course, in a dream state, it's...

Anyone here remember WILMA, from dot.com boom 1.0? She was a website where you could enter your favorite bands, your eMail address, and your location. Whenever one of those bands toured near you, you'd get an eMail to let you know.
Anybody know a current website that does the same?

Oh I've been walking around alone and enjoying it... it's just I'm starting to get a bit bored from being alone all the time, and being sick, and freezing winds. What city were you lost in?

Afterthoughts on last blog's story: If I'd oiled the chain properly, it wouldn't have happened.
Moral of the story: If you want to stick with her, use lube.

It's all a part of my tomboyish nature.
Did I mention I have the humor of a 12-year-old boy?
Also, we call words like PVT fuzzy dogs where I'm from. The brotherhood of druggies (all incredibly fucking smart and gorgeous) had been together for so long they could say, "Fuzzy dog!" And they'd all laugh raucously.
I became an auxiliary member. Everyone had their own nicknames. I became "Hunibuni420."
I don't know why I just told you all that.

All right, that's kind of disturbing. Both of those songs play heavily in my memories of my summer in london.
On a bike ride downtown, my chain pops off the gears and I'm coasting as Renee pulls away.
"Hurry up, or she'll leave you," shouts a bum from the sidewalk.
You're six months too late with that warning, sir.

RE: Watchmen
Dave Gibbons, the artist, is on board as a consultant for the film and has had some glowing reviews. So at least half of the team thinks it's a good idea. :\
