Top Ten Reasons to be happy the Election of 2008 is over! 10. No more GObama posts... 9. No more commercials or poorly done graphics for local politicians. 8. The introduction to the world of the Socialist Republic of the United State of America. 7. I don't have to feel like I am missing some political news because I am playing
Well, video games has correlated to a drop in violence, specifically among the youth. Of course I am sure at some point, someone will show in some fashion how it is related to something else, but for now, this post has done a great job of showing how statistically crime has fallen as video games have stepped up in prominence. As to the religion is bad part of the post title, <a href="http
I made a similiar prediction back in January when Edwards dropped out of the race. You can see it here . It was also somewhat proven out in the Kentucky and West Virginia elections, when I believe soemthing like 20% of voters voted against Obama based on Race. What does that mean, you might say, my state isn't 'racist' per se? I would say that West Virginians and Kentuckia
How did your submission go Jonas?
Brad, How about Friday, April 18- Sunday April 20th. Perhaps even setting something up at Penguicon... :) Rich
Found this on Digg and WOW, what a list and excellent cross reference to commonly used programs. I was aware of probably 70% of them, but still it is a must have for those considering a change of pace. Enjoy.
As a recovering Democrat... I am interested to see the fall out of this one. John Edwards has dropped out of the race of the Democratic Nomination, so it is almost a given that there will be a woman or a black man as the Democratic Presidential Candidate. So, what does that mean? Well, we will find out one way or another if America is re
Nice! Been wondering when this would be announced... hope it gets a LOT more press and coverage than it did last time! Looking forward to it. Rich
http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/geekend/?p=1085 Well in our latest game, Street Smart Detroit, there are at least 2-3 of these that we fail against, but then again it is a very indie style game, plus there is a lot it is trying to adress, so this time, oh well. I disagree with the AO game comment as well, since well, it just doesn't make much busin
Just had to call you on the zero is all. I would agree though, not much turn over, which is a testiment to the culture and quality of life you have built at Stardock in an industry notorious for it's low quality of life!
"The part of the company with no voluntary turn over in years" What qualifies as voluntary? Would it mean, that if life was easier I would stay, but life dictates I leave, so it is an involuntary leave? Just curious as I know of at least one that has left voluntary, so far as I know and he was on the gaming side? Not that there hasn't been very low turnover for you!
@Texas - nice missed that one. @Gideon - No sure if they intended to write in that fashion on purpose or not, but yup. Teenagers. @ IceCream - I told one of them pretty muc the same thing, that to rant is fine, but there are better ways to write it.
So I can across the following... very interesting insight, of course some of it is ageless youth angst of course... Rich --> post... Alright people. A few of my friends and I have been talking, and we have created a list of things that people do that deserve to die. I figure I would post them here. I hope everyone that reads this, and does any of

Funny you should say that, because a friend I turned on to it always thought Robert Jordan didn't know how to conclude it, so he kept on writing...
"Now Brandon Sanderson has signed on to complete A MEMORY OF LIGHT, with scheduled delivery of the manuscript in December 2008 and a planned publication date of Fall 2009. “The Wheel of Time turns and ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time…” I just read this and fo
This comic is done by a friend of mine and she is an amazing arts. Her artwok as well as Erin Seigel's work on the comic make this a new and upcoming sensastion. It has a unique american style as well Kay is a fan of the old school style Art work that used be produced all the time by Disney. You can get a feel for the art style of the comics by checking out
Well, Goole has finally gotten into the game on the Social Networking side.... to the point of they have sort of sat on the sidelines waiting and watching what works and what doesn't. Well they have taken the plunge and are looking good to go on the horizon with OpenSocial, which is an Open API type thing to connect a variety of Social Netwoking sites under o
Listening to the Link Bobby Blackwolf podcast show today, he mentions how Portal was submitted to the IGF and one of the judges worked for Valve, saw the game and said we need to hire this team! So, then Por
I came across this on a ColdFusion discussion list I belong to and it was interesting to see that there is an Adobe specific OSS hosting solution. Of course M$ has Codeplex.com so it is only fair I guess... just adding to the RIA controversy... is it Internet or Interactive... seems to me the later one is more appropriate all around.<!-- Ju-Anchor-Footer-Sta
The best article on the subject was posted by Gregg Sealhoff of Sophsoft Software out of Lansing: Link and Link about half way down in his post. Here is my post about when the law was created by Granholm: Link
Thanks ofr commenting Jythier, Except that M-rated is a subjective statment that the ESRB puts onto the label. Subjective to them, not you. It is a paid for industry group, not a governmental protection group. illegal is one thing, potentially going to jail for something like that is entirely another thing all together. Oh ya, I forgot to mention, the law as written by the elected officals cost the tax payers of Michigan (I believe) $75,000 for passing a law, which they were
You would think that with the depressed economy in Michigan that the government would woo game developers the way Georgia is... but noooo they won't. At least that was the attitude 2-3 years ago when they tried to pass a law making it illegal to sell M-rated games, a crime actually, to underaged kids. Just sad really... no hope in the future... the Big 3 are
As I was recently an Adjunct Professor at IADT-Detroit Link this conference sounds like it is one to be attended by those looking for innovative ways to connect to their students. Perhaps one day.
