Aug. 4th, 2006 09:33 amLet's start with the games and work up from there.
Dice Wars
http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/dice/dice.html
Think of it as speed Risk (granted I had a war of attrition that took 45 minutes to win).
Four Second Fury
http://www.jmtb02.com/flash/foursecondfury.htm
Each game only lasts four seconds
"The real story is actually better than the one we told."
http://www.vanityfair.com/features/general/060801fege01
A Vanity Fair recounting of NORAD's response to the September 11 attacks, based on "30 hours of never-before-released tapes from the control room," isn't quite the same as what the Pentagon told the 9/11 Commission. Commission staffers "thought that e-mails and other evidence provided enough probable cause to believe that military and aviation officials violated the law by making false statements to Congress and to the commission."

This is approperate for more than one reader here:
The Real Tragedy of Student Debt
http://alternet.org/wiretap/39278/
For the traveling geeks:
7th sniper shooting reported in Indiana
http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/sniper03.html
"The first was on 169th Avenue over Cline Avenue, one was on I-80/94 just before Cline Avenue, and one was on Michigan Avenue in Hammond, west of Cline Avenue, Higgins said. The rest have been on Cline Avenue, he added.
For all those on the way to GenCon and Pennsic - keep your heads down as you drive through.
And since I can't for the life of me remember if I posted this or not...
Calvin: An Intimate Portrait
http://theletterd.blogspot.com/2006/03/calvin-intimate-portrait.html
"Calvin, I have to lead off with a question that I used to debate with my friends. When no one else was around, was Hobbes real? Or was he just a figment of your imagination?
That's the big question, isn't it? I think that calling him a figment of my imagination is an understatement. I've since learned that Hobbes was a symptom of my battle with schizophrenia, which unfortunately went untreated until I was in my teens. I manage the condition now with medication."
And lastly for this morning... something for the Google Earthers (I'm looking at you Tim)
Built to scale
