Games kids play

This article is just way too funny. They’ve taken a bunch of 10-13 year old kids, and plopped them in front of the video games we used to play as kids (Pong, Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, some of those hand-held games etc) and get their reactions. Some of those reactions are pretty funny to read
Man, I feel old now.

Favourite websites

One of my favourite websites is APOD, Astronomy Picture of the Day. I’ve been visiting it daily almost since it started in 1993, back in the infancy of the web. Even after all these years, it remains one of my favourite sites, and on my list of sites I check daily (even on weekends). Every day, there’s a spectacular new astrophoto to look at, and an explanation with plenty of hyperlinks to follow. Some of the pictures I save and use as desktop backgrounds. This is one of the oldest continuously operating and most enduring non-commercial websites I’ve encountered, and I hope it sticks around for many more years.

Treading lightly

It’s exam time. My wife is stressing over her exams coming up this week. She’s been studying pretty hard the past few days. I think she’ll do all right, but she still worries. Sometimes she doesn’t give herself enough credit for what she already knows. Soon it will be all over, at least for a few more weeks until finals start.
Ahh, I remember those days. 5 exams in a week. Sometimes 5 exams in 3 days. I remember one time I had 5 exams in 2 days. I could have moved one, but I decided it would be an interesting challenge. Never again. Glad I don’t have to do that anymore.

Counting the days

The few people who surf their way here might notice a new block in the side bar, Counting the days. I set it up using the MTCountdown plugin by David Raynes. It’s a pretty cool plugin, and easy to use. Just seemed like it would be a neat thing to set up. It’ll be one of those things that changes every now and then when there’s something significant for me to count down to (or count up from).
This, along with the People Visited From and the weather blocks are done using cool MT plugins.

Which Mythological Form Am I?

You are Form 1, Goddess: The Creator.
“And The Goddess planted the acorn of life. She cried a single tear and shed a single drop
of blood upon the earth where she buried it. From her blood and tear, the acorn grew into the world.”

Some examples of the Goddess Form are Gaia (Greek), Jehova (Christian), and Brahma (Indian). The Goddess is associated with the concept of creation, the number 1, and the element of earth. Her sign is the dawn sun.
As a member of Form 1, you are a charismatic individual and people are drawn to you. Although sometimes you may seem emotionally distant, you are deeply in tune with other people’s feelings and have tremendous empathy. Sometimes you have a tendency to neglect your own self. Goddesses are the best friends to have because they’re always willing to help.
