Terry Pratchett Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s

December 14th, 2007 · No Comments

Sigh, this is bad news. I’ve loved TP’s books for a long while now. He’s not dead but has 4-10 years left, with only probably half of that being productive. Best wishes to him and his family.
Folks,
I would have liked to keep this one quiet for a little while, but because of upcoming conventions and [...]

30 Years of LucasFilm Christmas Cards

December 14th, 2007 · No Comments

30 years of Lucasfilm Christmas cards. Some good paintings and ideas in here, as well as some terrible ones (Jar-jar, Ewoks). I love the Trooper card below.

It’s interesting to see when Star Wars went through its lull and the cards stopped getting sent.

December 14th, 2007 · No Comments

Interesting look at the big trends in gaming during 2007. I’d disagree on the shooters, FPS have been big for so long now that call them a ‘big trend’ in 2007 is off base. The rest is pretty good. Worth a read.

Coffee arouses women …

December 11th, 2007 · No Comments

ORLY?
Coffee could help boost a woman’s sex drive, a US study says.

Gore picks up Nobel

December 10th, 2007 · No Comments

Yay. Shame nothing is going to get done, the political will for this does not exist.
Please note, lame political trolling on this post will not be tolerated. Geez, least you guys could do is be more subtle. At least pretend it is genuine or something, but block posting anti-Gore and anti-global warming comments, that is [...]
