• When lawyer go bad, or insane

  I just read that the Florida state bar association has just disbarred Jack Thompson - the crazy anti-video game lawyer.

• Sick and cool weekend plans

  So I started getting sick Sunday night. I blame Ryan *glares at Ryan*. My head started getting all stuffy, I can't stop sneezing, sore throat, upset stomach, etc. It feels like the flu.

• The advantage and disadvantage of my utter lack of uniqueness

• Random Thought of the Week: Another Reason it Sucks to be a Guy

  So lets say a homicidal entity from another universe needs a vessel to enter our universe. So of course an unborn child will be the receptical for that evil presence, and if the mother gives birth to it our universe could end. Lots of horrible things Read More...

• DRM Sucks

  So I bought Spore on Sunday. It took me 30 minutes to get it to play, after 20 minutes of install time, because it wanted to communicate back to the "mother ship" in some special way. Normal games prompt a "blah blah wants to access the Read More... Posted Tuesday, September 09, 2008 12:59 PM from A Glimpse into Madness | 0 Comments Filed under: drm

• Politics, free twinkies, and more

  So I've been keeping tabs on the political world for most of this upcoming presidential election, I've been really impressed with both candidates and I think either way we'll have a good president.
