(I don’t mean to objectify women, so don’t take any part of this story to mean that)
Attractive ladies young and… well… maybe a bit older than me, I love you but there is something we really must discuss: crummy attitudes.

Jon and I have recently been discussing a random superpower that may be beneficial. The idea is that you essentially play the air-guitar, the power being that whatever guitar sound that is occuring in your head is the sound played outloud for all to hear.
The catch? You have to sacrifice a left-testicle to achieve this power. I think I would do it without much thought. You only need one nut to procreate so you can afford to cut one loose. I would just be worried that I might lose the other one to something like cancer or a bad blow.

MMORPG/FPS/etc developers have been innovative in areas that were, once, highly important in creating a successful game. They have gone through great efforts to ensure that the average MMO gamer gets an enjoyable experience out of the game. However, in the past four major titles to be released, they have been lacking… leaving me with a “more of the same” taste in my mouth. The four major titles I speak of are World of Warcraft, Vanguard, Lord of the Rings:Online, and Age of Conan. Each of these titles had the chance to be huge successes(one of them was, and continues to be), but fell short in their own unique ways.
Given the failures or shortcomings of these games, I have given careful consideration to a list of ten things that MMO developers should learn from me, the average MMO player.

I have been trying, essentially all day, to make this template’s PNG header image, RSS image, and other images work in IE6 without a giant gray box. I’ve decided to say “fuck it.”
IE6 is deprecated and old and bad. If you are using it, upgrade. This site works in FF, Opera(assumed), and IE7.

Want to try to lose at least 10 pounds before the end of August – going to try a forey of different plans including eatting better during lunch, including snacks between breakfast/lunch and lunch/dinner, supplementing my diet with a multivitamin/fish oil/carnitine, keeping track of my calorie intake with a site someone directed me to called The Daily Plate and exercising more.
Perhaps if I can get to the gym, which I pay for access to every month, 3 times a week(Mondays, Wednesday, Friday – days I don’t raid)and do a bit of running or bike riding, I can drop some weight. To be honest though, its really just my gut that I would like to cut down. I am not overly displeased with my weight or anything – just think it could be better.

As was pointed out to me, there is an article on Slashdot about a new bill that was recently passed in the Hosue of Representatives. This bill, H.R. 4279, establishes a new organization under the Federal District Attorney which has the sole purpose of policing copyright infringement. To make matters just a bit worse, they have the power to collect any computer which they believe has even a single piece of material of “dubious origin,” aka: P2P traded files.
