For folks who haven't read the Game of Thrones books, and just saw last night's TV episode:

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
That was the most depressing scene, eh?
So far.
So far.

Also:
Next time I get my hands on a harp, I'll have to learn to play "The Rains of Castamere". Just in case anyone ever asks me to play a wedding, y'know.

Yes, you've met her. And she's a pretty cool sister, if I do say so myself. I wish her more stability, just as she wishes for herself, and wonder what else I don't know about my family.
barbary:
Gahhh, I love GOT! I need to read the books though. Do you really play the harp? I'd love to hear you play if so! One of my good friends in SoCal does and it's such a treat to be serenaded.

I'm getting better at blogging/comments, just so you know wink haha

A couple videos by folks who have something to say worth hearing. For me, at least: These guys are talking about going out and making your way in the world.

Richard Branson, with some should-be-common-sense words on how you lead a business.


Henry Rollins, on how he started to do what he wanted to do instead of just working to live, and how he's stuck...

You will indeed biggrin
Only in a few months though. Don't want people getting sick of me tongue
carnivall:
That's horrifying and awesome.

But other than the supervillains that want to live forever, how many people really wanna prolong life over and over again? Is this even a worthy endeavor? I read that no one has technically died of old age since 1951, so it's not like this is really helpful in that sense.

"Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine" just landed on XBox.

This game has been a darling of the Indie video game scene since it won its first avalanche of awards 4 years ago... and then the developer kept on polishing it. It hit Steam a couple weeks back, and word is that it lives up to (very high) expectations.

Monaco is a quick-to-learn game about cat-burglary...

Adventures in Synthetic Reasoning

Fact #1:
Cards Against Humanity is a game that makes people say things like, "What ended my last relationship? Lance Armstrong's missing testicle." There have been, like, 85,000 copies of it printed so far.

Fact #2:
Between the 6th and 8th century, there were approximately 65,000 books made in all of Europe. I don't mean 65,000 original books were written. No,...

Today is the 3rd Anniversary of the "Flash Crash of 2:45", a stock market crash that wiped out 1 trillion dollars of wealth, and then brought it back, in barely 20 minutes. It's widely held to be the first stock market crash caused by deranged A.I.s. Not everyone cares about the stock market, but when we've handed A.I.s enough power to disappear and then recover...

arroia:
It's quite scary when you put it that way. I enjoy all types of science fiction, and I often catch myself wondering if something like whatever is happening in the book will happen to us sooner or later. Hopefully I'm still here to see all the cool bits in case it does. wink

I'll share the rest of the steampunk pics as soon as I get them. It was a great shoot, and we put a lot of effort in it, so I'm sure that I'll like the end result.
xiiand4swords:
It wasn't deranged. I say that because the market corrected itself. However, it was effectively impossible for human's too react to or correct. That it continues to be a normal practice - if moderated somewhat more than it was before the crash - does seem deranged.

Not in those words so much, more like, I've been studying the radicals and their origins and what not and how they expanded later to make more words and combine and what not. So, I'm working on the written, not the spoken, traditional chinese.. smile
mneylu:
Not sure. Not all of them have an origin we can sort out.. but If you remind me somehow once I get my Radical text out of storage it seems pretty legit. "What Radical Is that?" the charts are sweet.
