Its working Steve we are up to 4.50/wk! Which one do you pray to? I'm switching over-- mine never gives me shit.

B. Soon we will probably just get to the point where there is actual AI and EVERYTHING can and probably will become automated except the stuff we just want to do. Ever read this Bruce Sterling short story? Reading the Wikipedia pages on Circular…

Yup, the end of capitalism would look a lot more like present-day Russia than Star Trek. I disagree that even a 99% extinction event would do it. It would just knock us back to medieval style capitalism --and given enough time we'd make the same pr…

The entire argument against 92 seems to be "we don't want to be the only state that does stuff or stuff will be expensive!" At one point we were the only state with a bottle deposit. I'm sure there was a ton of hand wringing and pearl clutching by …

This is how I imagine TGIF in the future. How close am I?

Um weird. I just Previewed, edited the preview, switched back to preview, then Post Comment and got a double post. EDIT: Oh great, now the original is gone and only my (edited) dupe remains. Sigh. The short version: The novel Raintree Country look…

Dupe. Dupe-de-doo.

Game of Thrones Book 2 by some fanboi Dirty Wars by the dude that wrote the Blackwater book Camouflage by Joe Halderman (a favorite author but this is kinda a weird story) The Man That Mistook His Wife For A Hat (waiting for me at the library) Thre…

There was a good 60 Minutes feature on dog brains lately (and maybe a Frontline?) ... http://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-smartest-dog-in-the-world/ "... there was no evidence until the last decade that dogs were capable of inferential reasoning, abs…

I'm of the opinion that almost anything would be better than the current system. You have to be worth 1M to invest in a startup. IPOs are designed to enrich investment bankers. Owners can and do sue company officers that make decisions for any reas…

Switched back to hot coffee in the mornings this week. Fall is official.

Kotaku (p)review from last week: http://kotaku.com/a-video-game-about-how-people-actually-talk-to-each-oth-1629656934 His voice sounds ok, but yeah her voice is pretty robotic.

There is! It's called iTunes/GooglePlay/Amazon. But there are way less sales (EDIT: by this I mean "stuff on sale") and they aren't integrated which is understandable. My girl and I just bought the same track, her on iTunes, me on Amazon due to the …

My favorite part of the movie was the insight about how personally expressive and artistic video game development can be- especially on the indie level. Like any good artist these guys are trying to come to terms with some major event or issue in th…

An amazing synopsis of the Phil Fish saga, an exploration of the phenomenon of internet celebrity, and a thesis on the cause of the decline of the 4th estate. All in 20 mins.

Doe!

I wonder if its hard for Elon, as a man, to put up with all the demands of being a CEO? I bet it is hard to him to balance family and work.

I've heard Elon called a lot of things, handsome is not one of them.

Anyone ever try You Don't Know Jack video game? I love the idea of quiz night at home with friends but haven't tried it. Any other party games you've enjoyed with non-gamer types? @Marc_Zuckerburg what about Jobs v Musk? Still dinner with Jobs? (Yo…

Okay I will start the ball rolling with a new thread ASAP. We will have to plan our builds and get the parts ordered before we can schedule the build party. All of us should have similar builds with little differences for cases, gfx cards, etc. so i…

I agree with the sentiment. The default dismissive attitude of the professional internet commentator is emotionally grating. However in their defense it is hard to pin down the genius of Steve Jobs, like a 3d print you have to blur your vision a lit…

> what kind of gaming PC are you rocking? This deserves its own thread! A buddy and me are about to re-build our HTPCs and I think Mikey was going to join us... maybe I can host a build party if others want to sponge of our (mostly his) knowled…

Did you read about the latest episode of the Phil Fish (Fez creator) ongoing drama? Love that guy! Anyone who tweets about how his fans don't deserve a Fez sequel is the type of maverick I can get on board with! Back to business: Civ 5 Beyond Ea…

Dang shoulda waited three mins

Tori Amos at the zoo tonight with the kids... not a sure thing that we'll even make it past the opening act but sometimes parenting is all about risk management.
