Which person is more pathetic: a customer of a payday loan / cash advance business or the employee of such a business?In the "olden days", did women ride sidesaddle on horses to be prim and proper or was it to prevent their "maidenhead" (hymen/cherry/etc.) from breaking?Does the concept of time truly exist as a separate conceptual entity, or is it an invention of Man perceived to exist by mankind

You know, I'm getting real tired of politicians with nothing else to do sticking their noses in where it doesn't belong, flinging their personal morality at the rest of us. Before, we had to endure Joe Lieberman(n?)'s attempt to sanitize every video game in existence on the basis of his own personal, stick-up-his-ass, I-know-what's-good-for-you type of morality. And I say this as a Democrat!

It's been awhile, but I'm back! I really didn't have much to post as of late, but I suppose I ought to post no matter what. Forcing myself to keep a regular schedule with this thing may set a habit. I was listening to a recent Engadget.com podcast where the hosts were discussing the lack of video content available for portable video players. These handhelds have become more and more popular

...of the Harbinger of Doom, stalking the corridors of my workplace. It cocks its sickle above its head like the hammer of a revolver, swinging downward as though squeezing a trigger, and the Harbinger strikes. The inexorable transformation from employee to unemployed has begun and the 60-day countdown timer begins. The numbness fades and realization of unemployment creeps in.The good side of

Check out this site: Miniature paper arcade game cabinets. They're pretty righteous... I remember building a diorama in grade school, based on a scene from a book we read. I think the one I'd read was by Beverly Cleary, but I couldn't tell you the title.Anyway, that's what these things remind me of... maybe I could set up some diorama scene with these things...kinda like a vacated and deserted

I wanted to post today, but found that I really had nothing to say at the moment... Maybe I can think of something as the day progresses.Oh, here's something: have you ever interviewed for a job opening with someone, find out they didn't want you for the position, then have that person visit your current workplace on a fact finding tour? Talk about irritable and uncomfortable at the same time..

I want to record some podcasts to put out there, but what subjects? And how can I get some free or relatively cheap hosting space? I can modify an existing RSS feed to fit my situation and use this blog as a pseudo host for the file...But what to use as a subject? My everyday life? Yeah, right...like anyone wants to know about that. Or my opinions. I could pull an MST3K on commercials...A

Well, on to the magazine cover concepts for Publication Design. I came up with three and I've pretty much settled on one of them but we'll see what everyone else has to say."Fully poseable retro gaming" -- A Pac-Man death scene..."Creamy retro center" -- The tombstone for Atari, 1972 to 1996."Retro gaming for the masses" -- The infamous single-button Atari joystick.I like the Pac-Man idea...

Alright: enough o' the cheesy Gauntlet references. But still that whole age and industry known as the '80s arcade game industry has bored its way into my head as of late. Even to the point of getting back into the Old Ways of the Arcade. What follows is probably the whole genesis of the phenomenon.Finally got my fucking Publication Design homework done... I'd let it slip (my own fault), which

No 60-day pink slip yet...I'd think the hammer would've fallen by now.Hey, BTW, anyone out there know if ciphers based on a 3D matrix are being developed? I've got one I'm puzzling out and creating rules for, but I don't want to duplicate something that's out there already, especially if what's out there is better than what I've got.No-one probably reads this but me anyway...
