Is the “Stone of Jordan” item in D2 named after Michael Jordan, or after the twelve stones of the Jordan in Joshua 4:8?
I’ve been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain
You say I’ve been driving you crazy
and its keeping you away
So just give me one good reason
Tell me why I should stay
‘Cause I dont wanna waste another moment
in saying things we never meant to say
Theo wants to learn to play this song on the piano.
(Verse 1)
Watch my life pass me by — in the rearview mirror
Pictures frozen in time — are becoming clearer
I don’t wanna waste another day — stuck in the shadow of my mistakes — yeah
Ian asks, “Will we face an advertising backlash?” and comments on how web browsing is more diverse than any other activity. This is stuff everyone deals with daily. Online advertising is changing our lives, as is web browsing. Where’s it all headed?
I was thinking about this new market which I am particularly interested in, and I decided to throw together a list of why it’s cool. It’s forum hosting, and the only big company doing it is Google with Google Groups. But Google Groups is more of a mailing list. A real forum like phpBB, IPB, vBulletin or even bbPress works a lot better. That means there’s a big opportunity here. I wouldn’t be surprised if Google bought a forum host in the next few months…

But when the first price drop comes around, you bet I’ll be thinking about getting a Wii, the ultimate family system. Seems easily worth the $250, but hey, got to save money anywhere possible.
OK, this is impractical right off the bat because algorithms don’t reproduce and they don’t get some randomness thrown in like biological stuff does. Still, after reading Where lies the physics of mind?, I think there’s a very good point to be made here. Evolution does not make sense. Yes, natural selection is fine, it’s nearly obvious. Evolution is obvious at first glance, but look closer and you’ll see it’s impractical and not the way things actually are. Read the rest of this entry »
The Wii has arrived in Marks Hall.
Jason Lee picked up a new Nintendo Wii, waiting in line for it early this morning. (Although Nolan apparently paid for it, he’s going to pay him back.) It’s really, really sweet. Not only is it by the far best-looking of any of the next-gen consoles, it’s also the only revolutionary one. You get an entirely new control scheme. And they really went all-out on the purchase: four controllers with nunchakus and a handful of new games.
