Small World

"Human Interrelationships on the Big Mudball I Call Home." Catchy name for a book. I was lurking tonight checking out various comments and posts on Urban and I ran across a related link back to a blog in Elko, Nevada. Now I can't tell who runs this blog, and it doesn't sound like they know me. I grew up in Elko, however, so it's very interesting to me that these two virtual paths have crossed. I haven't been back in about a decade, but the blog brought back great memories.

Online Myst?

Interesting read. Cyan (the makers of Myst) is creating an online persistent world of Myst. The original game had a way of sucking into it, and I wonder if the online version could do the same. I wish it was not just for the PC, however; XBox-Live would make this very easy access. And, it would give me something to do while waiting for Halo2.

Houses are Hard Work

I just spent a whopping eight hours out in the sun weeding, mowing the lawn, and generally digging around in the dirt. We hauled out three bags of weeds, and the place still looks like a pit. Now, heres the fun part: we have almost no yard. We have a little strip of garden area around our deck, and we have a few small areas of lawn near the sidewalk. Yet, we are overrun by weeds. I close my eyes and I see weeds. I have nightmares about the entire house being covered in ivy. How do people with real houses do it?
