The Gettysburg Powerpoint Presentation
March 18, 2003

“Good morning. Just a second while I get this connection to work. Do I press this button here? Function-F7? No, that’s not right. Hmmm. Maybe I’ll have to reboot. Hold on a minute. Um, my name is Abe Lincoln and I’m your president. While we’re waiting, I want to thank Judge David Wills, chairman of the committee supervising the dedication of the Gettysburg cemetery.” (Also, same site: Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years)http://www.norvig.com/Gettysburg/index.htm

American History X Part 2
March 17, 2003
WCU racism

This is my second American History X paper. Not to be confused with my first American History X paper, which was neither accurate or any good. Not to say that this one is much better, just that it is longer. That game me a little more room to fit in some things about the rise and fall of white supremacist mentality in Derek. Anyway, here it is...

Update: This is the second part of my essay, not a hint at sequel. There is not and will not be a sequel to American History X.

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
March 16, 2003

I had this weird craving after our game last night to play more role-playing, so when the weather was beautiful today, I went out shopping.  (Isn't it weird how some people shop when the weather gets nice?  Isn't it weird that I'm one of them? Yes, I have a problem.)

So I picked up a copy of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance for the XBox.  First off, let me say that I'm not disappointed with the game, but I came away with the same feeling that I always get from computer RPGs - that feeling that they could have done better/more with what property they have.
