You read me right. Below the fold is the full text of an email I've just sent off to my Member of Parliament. He's a Conservative, so I have no real hope that he will actually respond, much less respond as I ask... but I'll be following this false Harlequin 2006-08-12T20:41:00-06:00 2006-08-13T02:47:40Z 2006-08-13T02:47:40Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127205.post-115543726090017922 Wishful Thinking For some time, Tom has been maintaining a count of Google News hits, raw hits for "+impeach +Bush". It makes an interesting curve and once I get his data I'll turn it into a graph and post it here. However, of late it's been declining, which is sad; distraction is the mightiest tool of the wicked. However. All is not lost. Though the raw count may have declined recently, you can still go read false Harlequin 2006-05-09T22:46:00-06:00 2006-05-10T04:56:44Z 2006-05-10T04:47:08Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127205.post-114723642857781704 Back In The Swing So I've finally managed to recapture some of the creative juice I needed to work up v2.0 of The Last Supper. I think - as far as one can tell - it's lookin' good. Full text, drafts of all the cards, a little math to figure out how to get it roughly comparable for three Apostles as for twelve... and a set of bleedin' eyes hunting down Old Masters and other public domain art.

This has been circulating on the tech-geek circuit for a couple of weeks now, but has yet to escape into the mainstream-geekosphere in the volume it deserves. This is a thirty-five minute video which you need to see. It's Will Wright, creator of SimCity and The Sims, talking about his forthcoming creation, Spore.

To those who faithfully have keep looking to see if I've updated, thank you, you hardy souls. As your reward, here's a collection of links which had been intended to be the next post after the preceding.

No context required. A funny montage which requires a little bit of context. And a hilarious video (WMP, QT) which requires a little bit more.

"Fighting is done in the ring, wars are raged on the board" was the motto of the 1st European Championship in Chessboxing held October 1, 2005 at the Salon Ost in Berlin.

It's about a race riot - race war - and some people caught in it. It's excellent and you should read it, but that's not the point of this post.
