GONE VISITIN'
I'm headed up to visit my grandmother-in-law for a couple days in a technologically benighted section of northern Wisconsin, so nothing new until I get back Thursday. Meanwhile, some items from the vault of nifty:
Some classic arcade games in Shockwave format: Spy Hunter, Joust, Rampage, Defender, Robotron, and some others. No quarters required. If none of these names sound familiar, go back to your Playstation and forget you were ever here, whelp!
The Daily Sedative. Somewhere between the Onion and the Lemon. Damned entertaining. A sample:

Schwarzenegger Promises To Brutally Murder Opponents (Sep 1 2003)
SACREMENTO -- California gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger pledged to "annhililate" his opponents, swearing they would be "torn limb from limb" by his "huge metallic limbs".
"Heat vision will not only only let him see through the duplicity of state legislators, his spokesman told reporters. "It will also help him hunt them down and kill them, individually if necessary."
The former Austrian bodybuilder has starred in numerous films including Terminator 3 and Terminator 2.

Movie mistakes: This site lets people with way too much time on their hands find and post errors discovered in most of your favorite movies. This particular link just hits the top 20 list, but they have a searchable database. The Matrix is up to 117 so far. Titanic is up to 183
That should keep you busy while I'm gone. And remember to leave encouragement for my Mrs. in the post below.
