Unfortunately, I can't hit on everything that's happened since my last post, but I did want to mention two big things of importance in the last week. One of them is hopefully good, ... http://eotr.net/blog/2008/11/12/failure-to-execute/ I never cease to be amazed at the lengths people will go to to promote their own view point.

I'm nearly ... http://eotr.net/blog/2008/06/21/the-continuing-failure-of-liberty/ I'm restarting this blog, once again. I've switched to WordPress for the engine.

He originated the idea of geostationary communications satellites, and was well known ... http://eotr.net/blog/2008/03/18/arthur-c-clarke-dies-at-age-90/ In case you haven't heard, Gary Gygax, creator of Dungeons and Dragons, and roleplaying games in general, has died. He died on the morning of March 4, 2008 at his home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. I don't have much to add, really. As the creator of Dungeons and Dragons, he's had ... http://eotr.net/blog/2008/03/06/gary-gygax-passes-away-at-69/ It's always gratifying when I read things like this.
