King David
If I had married Tea Leoni and starred in film and TV with Gillian Anderson, I would have the exact same problem. How many love children do you have David?
Grand slam!!!
I just watched Hillary Clinton belt one out of the park at the Democratic Nation Convention. I don’t hold out much hope that this speech will sway the criminally insane, but I think it’s going to bring back to the party some people who’ve been on the fence since the primaries. Hillary, I disagree with your monochromatic pantsuits, but I love you.
Portal!
I received a free demo of Portal when I nabbed my 9600GTX video card but I wasn’t willing to start a game I wouldn’t complete. My mistake! A close friend just gave me the Orange Box and I must say this: Portal Roxxor!
When I cancelled my WoW subscription I didn’t think I would be able to replace the joy of gaming with anything, but Portal has shown me that not only do I enjoy video games, but I can enjoy a video game that doesn’t require a grind or a gun! Portal is a puzzle! You get a gun, but it’s used to teleport. You can die, but only if you set up your portal incorrectly. I haven’t seen any NPCs, but there is a nice robotic overlord who coaches you through the first few mazes and then tells you s/he isn’t going to lie to you anymore. I am not sure if I believe him/her since I have already died twice. But my deaths are similar to the deaths I suffered while playing “The Floor is Lava! Game” as a child. You only die if you touch the floor!
I will continue to work through levels and will keep you posted if I decide the game sucks, but for now, if you have Portal, Steam, the Orange Box or a new video card you should DEFINITELY check out Portal!

The Periodic Table of Awesome
In the 300 B.C., years before the birth of black Jesus, Aristole postulated that all good things were made of “win.” That was a pretty good guess, but he was drunk and probably also having an orgy. Modern day awesominers know there are actually 118 fundamental “awesoments” that compose all good things. The Periodic table of Awesoments can be a very useful tool. It’s designed to show the relationships between awesoments, and often one can even predict how awesoments interact simply by their positions on the table.
Obama Tire Gauge
The McCain campaign is currently mocking Obama by sending out “Obama Energy Plan” tire gauges to contributes. I suggest Obama also send out tire gauges to supporters. The tire gauges should read:
“Obama. Simple, common sense solutions to the mess republicans have gotten us into.”
Just an idea… not sure if it would fit on a tire gauge.
Sweet Deal
LCDs are getting cheaper, but this is a top-rated 22″ monitor and is a sweet deal available at General Nanosystems in Minneapolis. I picked one up yesterday. (8/5) The sale is over!
