What a fascinating game! Like in the scene from “Star Wars: Episode IV”, you wield a light saber and train against drones that shoot tiny lasers at you. You have 10 energy points, and you lose one each time a laser hits the light saber handle and for every second the handle is placed off-screen.
Swing the light saber around with the mouse, and click & hold to lock it in a position while you move it. Your goal is to destroy the drones, but they can’t be destroyed by just hitting them with the light saber. You have to deflect one of their laser beams onto them. Try it out. There’s a slight learning curve, but the game is addictive.

This is an interesting mini-game, where you’re a big Yeti, and you have a cave-man’s club and you hit penguins around like they’re baseballs. You click once to make the penguin drop from the mountaintop, then you click again to swing your club. Try to hit the penguin as far as you can. Let me know if you break 300.

Last night, as I spoke to one of my uncles (who I call Masarji), we hit a rather large speedbump in our discourse. Like any other speedbump, all it did was open the door for discourse on another subject. Masarji would incessantly rattle off “statements” (as he called them). Most of these statements were related to the topic we were discussing. I would then respond to each “statement” with an argument of my own. I would try to utilize whatever skills in logic I delude myself into thinking I possess. Masarji, however, was quick to disregard my arguments by responding that he isn’t arguing. He’s just “stating” stuff. I told him that if two people are discussing a single topic, every statement is essentially an argument. So - whether he liked it or not - we were arguing.
I explained that “argument” is a loaded word that people mistakenly think must involve heated competitiveness. All an “argument” really is is just something said that relates to the matter at hand. If we were talking about what to eat for dinner that night, we would inevitably provide arguments. I might argue that a honey sauce is better for the salmon, and he might argue that salmon is good enough without sauce. Or he might even agree with me that honey is the best option. Either way, he’s made an argument.
That’s my opinion, anyway. It’s quite possible that I’m mistaken and forced insistence on a line of thought is a prerequisite of an argument. That’s what he would have us believe, too.
This is generally where a blogger would write something like, And what do you think, Gentle Reader?
But that doesn’t usually work for me, since I have around 2 people that read this.
And what do you think, Gentle Reader?

This was sent to me by one of my best friends, who - among other thing - never fails to deliver quality content via chainmail. The video is a promotional short film for the Carver - a unique prototype vehicle that’s a kind of cross between a motorcycle and a coupe. Watch the video. The first minute or so is just build-up, but stick with it and you’ll be taken aback by how excellent the Carver is.

This is one of the weirdest things I’ve seen in a long time… Why do I like it? It’s not because it’s Bush. I think there is something mysteriously mesmerizing about the prospect of having such utterly limitless control over another person’s limbs. Okay fine, it’s the fact that it’s Bush.
