Fantastic

This game is a lot of fun. And addicting. At least to geeks like me. If you only have 5 minutes to look at it, don't - because once you start, you can't quit.

I have a list in my head of who is going to like this game and who won't - please, if you try it (and I know you), post a comment and let me know. I'll tell you whether I was right or not soon.

Welcome Back

I'm back. Did you miss me? Being busy at work + having a new baby = fewer posts. But I have a little time now, so here goes...

I saw a news article or read or somewhere or heard on the radio (I can't remember - losing sleep messes with my ability to function) that scientists have discovered that a nutrient in green tea can be used to cure [insert disease here]. It was probably cancer or hemorrhoids or something - suffice it say it was significant. What disturbed me was the next line - something like "Such-and-such pharmaceuticals should have a drug out in the next 2 years". Really? That's what health care has come to? Why not just tell people to drink green tea?

What's that? You can't put a patent on green tea? Ah, now I see.

Next thing you know they'll be manufacturing oxygen and selling that.

Oh wait...
