Asymptomatic

Darn right.

Dicewars is like Risk, except you use actual dice instead of figurines plus dice in weird combinations. Much simpler.

We’re only going to be living in Downingtown for a couple more weeks. Every other day, I drive past a house at 118 Logan Ave. where we lived until I was 10 years old.

If I remember correctly, these houses were built with the intention of being used by the families of the people who worked at the Sonoco paper plant across the street. My grandfather used to work at that plant, and his office was only a short walk away.

The house is now completely boarded up. I walked around the ground and took pictures, since I don’t have any from when we lived there, and I still have memories of the place.

I’ve had many discussions with Brian about the US government and politics and such. One of the main points of disagreement that we always come around to is whether privacy is a right granted to the people of the United States.

His position is that privacy is not a right. The governement has as much or more freedom to revoke your privacy as it deems necessary to protect you from our country’s enemies. Since our enemies seem to be everywhere these days, your privacy - for as much as it could aid efforts against terrorism - is forfeit.

You’ve had a digital camera for a long time, and you’re savvy enough to experiment with your digital photos online. You’ve got a Flickr account or a Zooomr account, and you’ve been sharing your photos with distant friends and family for quite some time. Mom and Dad have no trouble using the web these days, so they can easily peruse your photos to see what you’ve been up to.

Last year, your parents got digital cameras as a gift, and they’ve really enjoyed the savings compared to film-based cameras. You can just take the camera’s memory card to Walmart (or wherever) to print out only the pictures that you want to keep.

Well that’s great, but there’s a problem. Mom and Dad, wouldn’t it be nice if you could share your photos with your friends and family just like your kids do? How do we do that, anyway? Here it is, plain and simple.
