Mr. Slease makes some fine points today in his blog. Having spent some time annealing my thoughts in the same crucible, I felt the desire to share my view on the point. The Truman quote is very good and reminds me of a corollary which I think comes from japan. Or maybe from a Micheal…

Finally staying somewhere that has OLN so I can watch the tour. Its pretty fun to watch. I think lance will probably win but watching the tv coverage makes me want to root for someone else. Its kind of sick how much they try to make it seem like lance is the only one in…

The demise of PC games has been predicted many times in the past. There is a flurry of articles written on this every time a new console generation comes out. So far they have been wrong. PC games are still aliving and kicking and in fact they will always be. But then so will the…

Saw an incredibly nice rainbow yesterday. Full arc ground to ground. Double. One of the best I have seen. It got me to thinking. If you were a pre modern man and you saw this thing up in the sky you would have no choice but to assume its a Sign. That would be the…
