i dream of flying now and then, last night i dreampt of jumping into a flying vehicles and having fun, though under some duress trying to figure out the controls, what's yaw, pitch, roll, thrust, brakes etc on something that didn't have wings or rotors.

I'm not sure it was a helicopter though, something like an open top www.moller.com or that skateboard car in fantastic...

Inside the mind of Google (CNBC)

They take a look into what Google is, what it does, and what it all means for you and how you use it.


Ever since the beginning, sometime in 1998-1999 when my High School librarian evangelized Google (over Lycos, dog pile etc) I've wondered what the point of privacy online means when you consider repositories of it like Google....

so relating back to the post I made a couple of days ago, it would be very useful to have little displays up on walls versus paper that turns into litter.

I figure if they are glass walls with mounts for displays then they'd be safe from weather, and theft to a degree. As long as it is easy to clean the...

What would you called tennis or squash played inside a circle?

Some of the levels in Shatter are in circles and it is kinda hard to judge the bounce.. but if you were in the middle or edge along with another player, could you play tennis inside a circular court?

A couple of setups are both players being on a quarter of circle and they...

Another example of a game with enough visual splendor to awe you IF it allowed you to sit back and just watch it unfold during periods of downtime.

Granted exploring would be nice, I doubt that there will be too much in the way of reward for straying off the beat path to explore.

Between fights there should be more to do in the...

I don't know if it is the movie makers or the audiences that encourage them to make period pieces and movies set in the old days otherwise, but it seems odd when watching a film like An Education that they don't do much to make the present that they are filming in speak for itself too.

As a sort of double entendre.

I mean because...

Do you have an HDTV (or monitor) and bluray?

It occurs to me that besides missing bluray games on PC, there's this itch I've noticed to get an encyclopedia.. on bluray.

Maybe it's a part of getting old, or maybe I'm just dispassionate about google/wikipedia, but BBC,NHK,DiscoveryHD maybe they should collaborate on an HD video encyclopedia.

Like which is that last real encyclopedia made and...

Watching the BBC production How Earth Made Us,

enjoyable given all the stuff I'm learning. But I wonder..

I'm trying to get to work on building a prototype for a game that covers some of the stuff from games you're probably never going to see again, SimCity, Spore, Rise of Nations, Transport Tycoon, Railroad Tycoon, all bundled in one.

All because the studios that made...

Lara Croft

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lara_Croft

But everyone knows her. Her voice, from the original game and her likeness, in Angelina or Alison Caroll, aka her Yumminess

I find it odd that they'd (Crystal Dynamix, Eidos, Square Enix) drop TombRaider from the title of the game.

What does that make Lara now? just an Adventurer?

Anyway, I found myself rummaging my Abby Winters folder when I happened across...

wow.

I might have been saying some things about how I was planning to drop Spartacus because it was going the same way as all other shows, killing hope of anything like a happy ending.

Obviously it couldn't go that way so any pretense of the like was beyond foolish. Yet the out of control train wreck that it became a few episodes simply doesn't...
