This looks great, and since I *finally* finished Super Mario Galaxy, it’s time for some more.
Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand Died, and Andrew Ryan Created Rapture (an exploration of a lack of morality in economics)
I’ve recently had the pleasure of playing through Bioshock a second time, and, well, I’m more blown away than I was the first time. The first time through I largely missed the story, simple following instructions and playing through. On the second I sat and listened more closely, and enjoyed it quite a bit more.

Some Stuff I Won’t Get To Today (dangit)
Cartoon of the Day about Republican RobotJesus.
An alternate view on how to raise good children and not spoiled little brats who are scared of everything.
Satellites exploding in space. It was bound to happen. Now the question is how many more billions they will turn to dust…in spaaaace.
Apple is working with the evil empires to [...]
Nice Online Boom Blox (2d) Clone (Totem Destroyer 2)
For those that haven’t had the pleasure, “Boom Blox” is one of the funner games I’ve played on the Wii.
Here is a 2d version, called “Totem Destroyer 2″, of one of the games in that game, kinda, on the web for free.
And check out “Boom Blox,” it’s a blast.
Initial reactions to My First Book
So I’ve had enough people read some of my book to realize a couple things.
First, pretty much everyone who reads it says that I’m a quote “good writer.” Thanks, everyone. Really. It’s hard to tell sometimes and get honest feedback. I had ONE professor in college (a Vietnam vet who taught a class on media [...]
The White Russian, The Dude’s Favorite Drink
The following is a conversation about a girl I met in the final moments of 2008 {the white “Russian”. She mentioned a passion for Russian literature, and that’s how I remember her.}. I gave her my card, but I’m not sure if she’ll call. She is a quiet girl.
I’ll be playing the role of “the [...]
I’m Still Trying to Come Up With a Title for My Book
I just thought of another good one, “Philosophy is an Action.”
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I’ve already written down some predictions of what people will think of it, and I want to check my work.
Joel, you first.
The 1st Book Is Going to Be 50,000 Words Long
I like the number 50.
A comment on Facebook is 1000 characters long, so I’ve been training my ability to be efficient.
So, 50 comments is about a book, right? [UPDATE: C'mon, I need somebody to check my math. My book isn't going to be 50,000 characters long (it went past that in the first week) [...]
The First Two Chapters Are Up
As mentioned a little while back, I am putting the blog on hold and writing a book.
O.k. I didn’t do such a good job of that (as the latest posts can testify) but that hasn’t stopped the book from coming along nicely.
They can read be read here.
I’d love to get some feedback on what I’ve [...]
A Good Sign Your Strategy Isn’t Working
Prospective investors should take note of the Timothy Plan funds’ records: Its Large/Mid-Cap Growth is down 39 percent so far this year (that’s ahead of 85 percent of large-company growth funds), and it has lost an average of 5 percent annually over the past five years. That return lags behind roughly 30 percent of its [...]
