Your New Years Story for 2010

Author Donald Miller recommends a story over traditional resollutions. “A story involves a person that wants something and is willing to overcome conflict to get it. If you plan a story this year, instead of just simple goals, your life will be more exciting, more meaningful and more memorable.” This is brilliant and a big inspiration in rebooting my own site (and life) for 2010.

About Me »

@vik407 Hi Victor, the registration issue you reported is fixed. Thanks again for bringing it to our attention.

@nizur SCII is fun, but its definitely retro in approach. That works for me, but don't know about real RTS. I'm a casual RTS gamer.

@vik407 Thanks for letting us know. I've alerted our dev team.

@steveabraham We're on it!

Now that EE 2.1 is launched and Mojo is out the door, am I allowed to take a break and play Starcraft II?

Pay for your Mistakes (*)

“... if you follow a leader who struggles admitting they are wrong, DO NOT FOLLOW THEM. We all make mistakes, and people who admit their mistakes are in touch with their humanity, and those who don’t are simply delusional. And if they are not willing to pay for their mistakes, you better believe they are going to make those around them pay.” Donald Miller on umpire Jim Joyce’s reaction to blowing a call.

Slay Monsters with your Little Monsters (*)

“Monster Slayers: The Heroes of Hesiod captures the flavor, fun, and educational benefits of Dungeons & Dragons in a fast-paced, easy-to-learn experience for kids ages six years old and up.” A free PDF download, no additional purchase required (well except dice, paper, and imagination).

Things My Children Won’t Comprehend: Floppy Disks (*)

“Fully 12 years after the original G3 iMac dropped support for the 3.5-inch floppy disk, Sony has finally decided to stop making them. The reason is a lack of demand. The surprise is that it took so long.” I never had to “wind a watch” my children will never “format a floppy”.
