“Imagine a computer game in which you follow all the rules, but your characters still die, because someone has introduced a virus into the game. Not only that, but the person who invented the game is the one who is distributing the virus.”

I can’t remember where I found this link, but here are my personal AD&D statistics:
Str: 13, Int: 13, Wis: 17, Dex: 13, Con: 14, Chr: 17

I never really played AD&D but for a little while when I was an early teenager I bought a bunch of the books and created games and maps and all the additional little bits. I could never find anyone that wanted to play with me, and, to be honest, I never actually wanted to “play” the game. I was just fascinated by the design of the systems. The little foray into the world of D&D was probably what started me on the convoluted path to being a computer programmer. Am I really a “computer programmer” though? I don’t know. It’s what I do right now, but I don’t think it’s what I am, if that makes any sense.

Activision has created an online version of Pitfall! to celebrate its 20th anniversary. You’ll need to get Shockwave to play, but it’s pretty cool.

A few weeks ago I mentioned a service called dotPhoto. My dad has started to add a few of his amazing snapshots to an album there. Even if you’re not thinking of buying a print - although they’re selling them for the ridiculously low price of 29¢ ea! - you should visit the site to see how they are enabling digital photographers to sell their photographs on-line. I’m really interested in feedback about this idea. How do you feel about digital photographs?

… some wonderful comments on genetics and evolution from the USS Clueless …

If you’re looking for a really insulting and / or offensive eMail address or web site, look no further than datapimp email and hosting services. The original is still the best.

*Note: I actually think anothermartiniplease.com is kind of cool. I don’t like martinis, though. Yech.

And this is Pen-Pen’s web site. No kidding. Really.

Another in the “I Can’t Believe This Site Still Exists” Department: The page “People Are A–holes. So F— You, A–hole.” has been ranting since at least ‘98. I know it seems like it’s a rude, obnoxious site to think to visit, but if you go you’ll see that you probably actually agree that most of the people he claims are a–holes really are, in fact, a–holes. Plus, there’s a really great butt right on the front page.

Why, yes, I am cleaning out some old link lists. I’m bored. Sue me.

I’m only somewhat suprised to see that e-Holster is still alive and kicking. I found a two-year-old shortcut to this place and surfed to their site. It looks like they still offer the exact same wacky product that they offered when I created the shortcut.

“Is that a concealed weapon?!”
“Nope. Just my PDA.”

*Note to self, to Robyn, and to Todd: Do not ever brag that you are “sittin’ right on top of Jish“!

*Special bonus note: Muffed Punt is, in fact, the funniest phrase in all of professional sports.

Refresh my memory… when the flattened, decapitated head of a grey tree squirrel crosses your path, is that good luck or bad?
