Any active Digg users might be interested in this article about some of Digg’s faults. To preface this, I enjoy enjoy Digg despite it’s faults, and typically check it once or twice a day. So take this hating on Digg with a grain of salt, not as anti-Digg, but more of telling a [...]

This is simply a quote of a Stratfor report. I would note that the copyright allows for reposting as long as Stratfor is attributed. It’s worth reading if one has an interest in how politics and the economy are intertwined in current events. If only I could write with such insight. Check out Stratfor at: [...]

Next up for board game review is Descent: Journeys in the Dark.
The game plays very similar to D&D, just with limited rule sets. If you’ve ever been a DM and wanted to just slaughter the hero players instead of creating a story for them, then this is the game for you. It pits a group [...]

I once had a conversation with a woman at a church concerning whether animals had a soul or any kind of spiritual essence. She was of the opinion that they were only made of flesh that is, they had no soul, and when dead nothing of their being remained. As such she considered human life [...]

Two days ago this vulnerability was released: http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1571

Promising new zombie survival game from Valve. Hadn’t heard of it until I saw this video interview. Zombie survival isn’t new to Valve, there is pretty legit HL2 mod that is a lot of fun called Zombie Panic, but from the video interview, Left 4 Dead looks a lot more promising. It deals with [...]

So it looks like the Chainmail Bikini web comic has come to an end with the departure of the artist. Very sad, since it was the first new web comic I’d enjoyed in the past year or so. If you have ever done anything close to D&D or role playing then you’ll love the comic, [...]

From time to time we are asked to take actions that in some contexts would be considered illegal activity. At times we are asked by companies to perform actual illegal endeavors. Discerning the difference between a legal illegal activity and an illegal illegal activity can be hard to one such as myself, uninformed with the [...]

Literally free. I’ve only heard the Discipline single so far, but I’ll try to update this post once I listen to it with a review. They are also on tour this summer, which is probably the best way to support a band, especially when giving their music away for free. :p
Update: Signed up [...]
