Two well-crafted physics games have surfaced. Many of the new flash engine type games are based on gravity, inertia, and object linking. Crayon Physics and World of Goo stand out above the rest. I find myself feeling bad for the little squeaky goos when they plummet into the blackness.
Crayon Physics is soothing like nap time at Kindergarten. Experiment with many ways to solve each puzzle.

Google’s Chrome is digital butter and some fresh apricot preserves on artisan 12-grain bread. My screen realestate is now a wide open meadow, full of stark internet and little else. Pages load quicker than the next simile. (Yes, I know the last two were metaphors.)
Microsoft insults the browser world with every visit:
They wanted to change this message to read, “How dare you use another browser than the Viral one we embedded in your computers? Now go back to your sleepy IE before anyone sees how fast the internet really can be.”

Since I am new to the whole cellular scam (phone) industry, I was not prepared for how hokey cell phones are. I got a Casio Boulder G’z One. It was expensive and sounded rugged. Throw a few folders of music on it, and nothing happens! It turns out that many phones can not recurse directories. I had to dump my naked songs in the root music directory. Then the phone decided my file names were just too long with all that useless info like title and author.
Just look at what it did to my poor filenames:
How can we be such a powerful nation and limit ourselves so severely on technology? Please move my player’s marker further into the no-cell-phone camp.

Share your thoughts on the President’s Inaugural Address. Yay for America, we have a truly African-American president! He even mentioned his African small village roots. I was also very thankful that he stuttered through the repeat-after-me bit. It makes him more human and indicates that he has at least some respect or nervousness about the responsibility. (Or he had a earphone prompter failure.)
Minor gripes: Tree hugging and global warming are the new missile? We will see how that works.

Needed a powerful laptop to take to Africa for photo storage and presentation. I settled on ASUS G1sn. It was loaded with Vista64 but I figured I could wipe it clean and upgrade to XP. No Drivers! I wanted to list some of the neat features about Vista that make it tempting to keep:
1.
After heavy research and in some cases hacking drivers to make them fit, I have XP running! It is more than twice as fast for some things, and all games run FPS better.
A friend needed a laptop and insisted on XP. I found that Newegg sells XP laptops, but no retail stores do! Walmart has a nice basic Toshiba for a great price, so I figured that they would have drivers out there. No such banana. Same hammering procedure will be needed to get XP running.
Update: The business model is now to charge extra for the option to be “XP compatible.” Toshibas L series actually got off their butts long enough to write XP drivers. No such luck for my Psycho ASUS gaming laptop or any of the Vista Toshibas I have the pleasure of tech supporting constantly. How much would computers cost without operating systems being forced down their throats?

I just casually glanced at the cost of this bailout socialist attack. Adjusted for inflation it is more expensive than WWII!
This is from some news site: “The bailouts cost more than the total combined costs in today’s dollars of the Marshall Plan, the Louisiana Purchase, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the entire historical budget of NASA, including the moon landing.”
I want a list of what I get for my tax dollars!
- WWII I would pay for to have freedom from communism and to deter aggressive nations.
- Moon landings and spaceships? Oh yeah! Sign me up.
- Bad mortgage debt and companies that build bloated unoriginally designed gashogs?
- Elitist parties in Scottsdale and corporate jets?
I wish I could pass.
Update: It turns out that financial evils and bad debt really can cause an airplane bailout! The sad part is that this sap will go to jail, and our greedy senators and leaders of state will be praised for the same actions.

Ok, something is up with our local elections. There are nothing but Ron Paul ads everywhere. You cannot look in any direction without seeing them Kryloned on peoples trucks, sides of barns, holding them with hand painted signs on street corners and such.
Now after elections they claim that he got something like 400 votes in Cochise County. This is just impossible. I have seen that many people with signs in Sierra Vista alone! Also the traditional rural voting stations were closed and people were being sent to other cities farther away to vote. The voting stations had large queues when they closed.
Last night the news reported wrong numbers and errors I think the Ron Paulians are neither Democrat nor Republican so somehow their votes don’t matter. I cry foul! The media is only presenting two choices: a woman and a pro-abortion liberal. Our country has gone mad. The internet wins this election.
