My in-laws are board games fiends. Thanksgiving and Christmas, out come the Aggrivation board. Once I decided to bypass sending someone back to the beginning in order to get farther along the board, and you'd think I'd just shot the dog. The point wasn't to win but to make sure somebody else didn't win.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If I weren't on Blackberry I'd google the "blood is life" speech and sub in Scrabble.
OK, this reminds me of a thing I've been thinking about: How people's internet use is going in two totally different directions -- "everyone" has broadband, so we want websites with videos on them and shit, but at the same time, "everyone" is getting Blackberries and whatnot, so they want stripped down sites. Am I right about this? What is The Industry doing about it?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Instead of filling in an org chart in a pathetic imitation of a critical path thingy for my project management class.

Thank you. No cable (see above) so I see why I would fly over my head.

Hence the quotes around "everyone." I meant the "everyone" that most designers design for.

Yeah, I was just bemoaning the lack of a market that exists for me. Mainly it is laziness, rather than any sort of principle. Poor me, too lazy to stay modern!
