HTML 5 Gaming: Old Classics and Modern Titles You Can Play for Free Today – TechSpot Guides – StumbleUpon. This is a fun list of games. I’m trying the C&C one now.
I did the 10.7.3 update and since I have made that mistake, my mac has been unstable. It has failed to wake from sleep, it has crashed webpages, it has slowed browsing down to 56k speeds including breaking Zemanta and I bet if I tried to play Civ 5 it would crash that as well. I am downloading the 10.7.3 combo here and will update this after a few days.
Yikes! What a mess. It seems to cause problems with Wacom tablets as well. No solution here. It would be fun to have one of these.
I discovered that I hadn’t set up my blog to allow registrations. I thought that I had. So almost immediately after enabling registrations, I have had multiple registrations over a short period. It is a nice feeling when someone values what you do.
I am watching a Star Trek episode called “The Disease”. Harry Kim is breaking rules because he falls in love with an alien. I wonder what I would do in that situation. I think happiness is more important than duty.
Some creatures give us an example by just being who they are. I guess one of the pleasures of being a dog is that you enjoy the smell of things that other beings may not even be aware of.

I have been sensing that often lately. It is odd that I have pursued things in my past, and when I achieve them I am not happy. It is not buying something material, but doing something as an achievement.
Perhaps its something that happens as you get older. You start to question if the things that you thought were important once, are still important. For example, I always wanted to understand something. Now that I have understood that small thing, it doesn’t feel like I imaged it would have. Sometimes I think the luckiest people are those who never achieve what they want. Then they always dream of the pleasures they will feel if they achieve it.
Maybe a wiser course of action is to listen to what my internal voice is telling me, and to act on that instead of mistakes of my past actions. Sounds crazy doesn’t it?
Three Word Phrase, by Ryan Pequin – StumbleUpon. Interesting point of view. It does seem that there is always more good than evil in the world.
In Star Trek Deep Space Nine, the characters often say that they feel most comfortable with their own kind. Shapeshifters with shapeshifters, Cardassians with Cardassians, Klingons with Klingons. Apparently the future means that people identify more with their race, not less.
This never made sense to me. I never understood the thinking and belief that people of a race are the same. It has been my experience that people are individuals. I really wonder when I see things like the KKK or any group like that, if they are not guilty of what they hate in others. Racists seem to hate other groups, but it seems to me they first hate what is different. Even within their ranks, few of those groups are creative or challenge their own authority. It seems to me that racist groups, or any group that does groupthink, will eventually die from its own limited perceptions and repitore of behaviors.
Back to the point. Since I am white I have never felt more comfortable with whites than any other group. Its always seemed to me that by judging someone on external factors discredits what it means to be human. We have the ability to think, feel and challenge the evidence of our senses. By doing so we have achieved this limited level of technology. Why shouldn’t we look past the surface of things to see the deeper beauty? Isn’t it the human thing to do?
P.S. I was watching a movie 10 days after this post and it talked about “you should be with your own kind”. I wonder why I keep seeing this message in media? This isn’t the first show I have randomly chosen on Netflix that says this. Do you ever have words repeated to you from different sources?
