Trip detritus. We stopped at a Dairy Queen in a small town east of Waco. The bathroom had one of those air dryers, and for the first time in years, I saw that someone had scratched graffiti onto its surface. When I was a kid (centuries ago), it seemed like most bathrooms had some kind of dumbass ...

Gloria's father was talking to me on Saturday night after we arrived. "My sister lives in Crawford, near where the President lives," he said. "I visited there last time in 1942, I think. I went out there and it was so relaxing, and every day she did all that down home cookin'. That was so ...

Walking With Dinosaurs featured roaring. Lots of roaring. The dinosaurs were very impressive, and the T-Rex was magnificent, but by the time the show ended, I was shaking hands with deafness. Deafness said something to me, but of course I couldn't hear. In the seats directly in front us, there ...

We were on our way to Eli's soccer team pizza party. "I can't wait to see Nora," I said. "I know!" Eli said, laughing. "That girl eats more pizza than any kid I've ever seen!" It's true. Nora, who isn't fat in the slightest, can eat six pieces of pizza with no problem. And does. "I can't believe ...

Leading off this week, an absolutely brilliant piece of writing by Patrick Hruby about Cambodia, baseball, the heart of darkness, and everything in-between. It's Field of Schemes? From David Gloier, a link to a story about the desire for perfect-sounding music (via editing) has made it much ...

...and keep spelling "Solium Infernum" incorrectly. It's not "Solium Infernium", no matter how many times I type it wrong.

First off, I'm definitely doing a "play guide" to Solium Infernium in the same style of the guide I did for Armageddon Empires. That will hopefully be up the week after Thanksgiving. I've played for 10+ hours now, and there is no question that this is an extraordinarily singular game. It's ...

For some reason, my motivation has sunk to almost zero, and I feel sluggish and depressed. We must be going to Shreveport soon. Since we're leaving Saturday morning and returning Tuesday afternoon, I won't have access to e-mail for a few days. I do hope to have some "pre-recorded" posts that ...

So the second Madden patch, which was "in development", "nearing submission", "submitted", "in the approval process", and twenty other descriptive phrases, at least, is now in "final approval". The game came out over three months ago. Detailed information about this patch was posted a month ago. ...

I went for my regular park ride yesterday. I had one fall, but with the new, longer pants as part of my riding gear, I didn't think anything about it, just got up and kept riding. After I finished the ride and drove home, I went to the freezer to get an ice pack to put on my knees (tendonitis, ...

Well, I haven't seen an article about this in a while: Ex-astronaut in love triangle case avoids prison with plea deal . You remember this story, right? The former astronaut (Lisa Marie Nowak) drove across the country to assault another woman who was a romantic rival. Then blah blah blah. I say ...

I've listened to last.fm on occasion, but I'd never signed up for an account. After creating a custom radio station today with The Beatles and Miranda Lee Richards, I decided to sign up so that I could save some of my preferences. If you follow the "sign up for free" link off the main page, the ...

I was committed to going to dinner at another couple's house. As I've said more than once, I like people--I just don't like them near me. "This is what people do," Gloria said. "Which people?" I asked. " All people," Gloria said. "They meet . They socialize. They sit around and talk." "Stop," I ...

The official date of winter's arrival in Austin: the first day you can't wear shorts. That was yesterday, November 16. Welcome to winter.

From Ryan Leasher: Hey, Bill...minor nitpick with the 3D post. There were plenty of 3D movies in the 50s that used dual interlocked 35mm projectors and polarized 3D glasses rather than the single strip crap anaglyph with the colored lenses. In your post it really sounds as though the 3D films of ...

First off, the October NPD hardware numbers from
last week: Wii: 506,900 PlayStation 3: 320,600 Xbox 360:...
249,700 PlayStation 2: 117,800 I think the only way to interpret these numbers is as follows: Microsoft has a problem. In 2007 and 2008, the 360 ...

DQ reader Fredrik Skarstedt (developer of MMO Baseball ) sent me this e-mail last week. Re: Let The Right One In. I recently got to see it as well and I thought it was a fantastic movie not just because of the creepiness factor, the fantastic story, and the acting, but because of the setting. ...
