Another google game. :) This one’s courtesy of April Here’s how it works: go to Google and type “yourname needs” into the search box (keep the quotes, but replace ‘yourname’ with, well, your name). Watch as hilarity ensues. Here’s what I need:
David needs a wash (and I do!) It’s Tony’s love [...]
After mentioning Orson Scott Card, I found this fascinating article discussing Ender’s Game and the ethics of violence therein. Stuff you don’t notice when you read a book at the tender age of 14. So perhaps I should qualify myself–Card and I see eye-to-eye on many things, but that doesn’t mean I think [...]
I’ve been doing lots of thinking, but no thoughts yet, and no writing that I can put up here (yet). I have been writing, though, which serves the purpose of the Tue/Fri schedule. Also been reading some interesting stuff. Read this if you have some time–it’s an interesting metaphor for the way [...]
PyWeek ended yesterday. We finished, just not with a complete game–more of a physics demo. It was quite a ride, and I learned a lot, so I’m glad I participated. Michal, our team leader, has a good summary of the week.
Referencing this, I have just discovered synergy, which is the coolest thing in the world. I have a desktop and a laptop, and they are now sharing one keyboard and one mouse over the network. You move the mouse to the edge of one screen and it shows up on the other. [...]
In other news, from now on I’ll be updating this site on Tuesdays and Fridays, if the bridge holds and the creek don’t rise. If I miss an update, you, dear reader, are given permission to smite me.
Update: 2 months later
Well, I’ve done fairly well. I’ve missed a number of updates, and “Tuesdays [...]
And on the same note as the prior aside, I now have a del.icio.us-powered blogroll, just under the link list. These are sites that I read regularly; several of them are friends of mine (and they’re tagged as “friend” in del.icio.us!), so you might want to check them out.
Just a brief note: you can now take a peek at some of my latest bookmarks over there on the sidebar, under “my del.icio.us links”. You can also view my whole list (and search by tags) at http://del.icio.us/eykd (linked by “more” on the sidebar). Enjoy! If you have your own del.icio.us [...]

Mount St. Helens is erupting again, and for the second time in my life, I’m missing it. The first time, I was in the womb. This time, I’m not sure what my excuse is. Hearing familiar acronyms of the local news agencies–KATU, KOIN–brings an odd sense of homesickness, like a missing limb [...]
