Fresh, Hot Wastes of Time

This is mostly to keep myself from going crazy in 2 years when I’m looking for this link again.

Postmortem of Majestic by one of its designers.

Also, I turned off the Twitter digest posting for now, although there will still be some over in the sidebar. It was just too creepy to have it automatically update my blog without intervention.

• I hate computers. #
• After what I have just been through, The Witcher had better be one hell of a game. #

• 360 on the HDTV – Me: "Oooh, shiny!" Hub: "Oh, God, that’s sexy." #
• @baconator How was Moby? #
• @campfiremike Awwww, that sucks. Chicken soup and lots of Advil! #
• The elms in the back yard have erupted into a riot of fragile green. #

I do doubletakes every time I see Rushmore and come away with the feeling that I just visited my father. The resemblance is really uncanny.

I’m playing around with integrating my Twitter stream and my blog. Technically, this plugin should create a daily digest of my tweets and post it here on the blog. It should also take blog posts and Twitter them. Hopefully it doesn’t get caught up in an endless loop.

For those wondering, Twitter is sort of like a microblog that allows easy, small updates that you can access from several sources. It’s a lot faster and easier than posting a blog entry, although you only have a very limited amount of space to say anything, so in-depth stuff is better on an actual blog.

• Finally convinced the hubby to get the HDTV. #
• Dilemma: 95 degrees. Puppy in a car in the parking lot, some windows half down. Already a note under the wiper. What do you do? #
• Well, next time I’ll know what to do… was too migrained-out today to do much more than make sure puppy was still drooling & leave a note. #
• Loving Restaurant Jezebel. #
• Boo for plantar fasciitis! #
• Woo, setting up new TV! #
• @vpisteve Oh, don’t be curmudgeonly. I thought it was good! #
• @vpisteve Yeah, but look at the date on the (spoiler redacted). I think it was two kinds of misdirection, which is always better than one. #

World Without Oil won the SXSW Web Award in the Activism category. There’s a pic on Wired with those of us who were at the conference on stage accepting the award. Many thanks to Ken, Jane, Cathy, Michelle, Marie, and Krystyn for helping make the world’s most awesome game – but especially to the players who made it easy and wonderful. 🙂

Our panel went very well, I think, and I’m grateful to Tony Walsh and Dan Hon for asking me to join them.

Can’t believe SXSWi is almost over already!
