POPSThe Escapist 161 on indie games I've noticed that indie games are making a lot of signals on the blogs lately. I haven't found much time to play them, prolly cos' I'm reading during my free time. ;) The Escapist's issue this week on indies actually has a couple of articles from the perspective of people making indie games, it's got a fair bit of business insight. Some of the criticisms of the market's failure to provide free savannah for any and every roaming indie creation reminds me of the criticisms aimed at Scott McCloud's Reinventing Comics. The big businesses have a way of corralling user eyeballs to their own products, and despite the wilderness of the internet it's not a fair ecosystem.

POPSThe Heart of Monticello And Jefferson's cry of pain was swallowed up in a most remarkable act of rational self-expression. He went back to work on Monticello with the idea that she should come away from royal England, into the lovely American wilderness, and see it.

POPSThe Anointed One Ventured Forth To Bring Light Unto The World
In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites. And so it was, in the fullness of time, before the harvest month of the appointed year, the Child ventured forth - for the first time - to bring the light unto all the world. He travelled fleet of foot and light of camel, with a small retinue that consisted only of his loyal disciples from the tribe of the Media. He ventured first to the land of the Hindu Kush, where the Taleban had harboured the viper of al-Qaeda in their bosom, raining terror on all the world. And the Child spake and the tribes of Nato immediately loosed the Caveats that had previously bound them. And in the great battle that ensued the forces of the light were triumphant. For as long as the Child stood with his arms raised aloft, the enemy suffered great blows and the threat of terror was no more. YouTube video 6:13

POPSThe anointed one's pilgrimage to the Holy Land “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”.....to many, seemingly the second coming of Christ instead of just a lowly politician void of any credible accomplishments to support his ambitions.

POPStale of two rugby players For those who have read this article before I make no apologies for repeating it. At a time when my friends are being liberated in Zimbabwe, the actions of Brown and that moron in America proved they are political non-entities in the extreme. Fancy announcing to the world that you have a universal agreement with the other powers for sanctions against Mugabe without first getting the ink on the document. Go to East Glasgow and get your inept party elected. No wonder my grandfather left if that is the standard of reason there exists in Jockland. Go to the article and read carefully. The honest and decent person has no rights in this world where colour has more sway that justice. One of my friend's family had been in Southern Africa for almost 500 years. He now lives in poverty in Portugal.

POPSNow who's in denial? And now with a straight face liberals say we'll have to starve the people in order to save the planet. Now who's in denial?

POPSTunguska: 100 years of wondering 30th Jun was the hundredth anniversary of the Tunguska explosion. They think the answer might lie at the bottom of Lake Chelo. The rule of thumb is that a 100 metre asteroid equals a 100 mTon hydrogen bomb.

POPSA Tale of Two Rugby Players This issue is poignant at a time when SIR Robert Mugabe is cocking his nose at the whole world. When you look at his cohorts one has to wonder why the World gives this collection of bigots, dictators, non democratic leaders a second look, let alone increasing the coffers of the despot leadership.

POPS Dubai's Favorite Senators Senator Maria Cantwell (D., Wash.) has been threatening to hold up appointments to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission until the CFTC increases regulation of oil trading. According to the Almanac of American Politics, "successfully worked the phones" in 2005 to round up enough colleagues to block drilling in the Alaskan wilderness. Her counterpart in the House is Michigan's Bart Stupak, who claims special credit for a permanent ban on drilling in the Great Lakes and has also cast votes against exploration in Alaska and off the California coast. Then there's New York Senator Chuck Schumer, another staunch opponent of new domestic oil supplies. Mr. Schumer has egged on the Federal Reserve's rate-cutting binge that has contributed so much to the oil price spike.

POPSCourt overturns Exxon $2.5bn fine It's important to have your men on the Supreme Court. It's at times like these that having 'friends' in high places pays off in spades. A $2.bn savings. Sure a nod is as good as a wink to a blind man, as we say over here. What's a lit bit of old fashioned I'll scratch yours if you'll scratch mine type corruption between friends. Sure aren't they dealing with corruption everyday. What's $2.bn. Change to these crooks really. And anyway, who lost out. Just a few victimless crimes and desperate fishermen. They're used to it by now. Roll on until the next spillage.

POPSDesktopography - Nature's Design on Your Desktop I loved their previous collections of art for your desktop and now 2008 is out. Everywhere I go with my laptop I get comments on my desktop background - these are just beautiful. I use in conjunction with Iconoid (http://www.sillysot.com/) which allows me to hide my icons on my desktop.
