Links-R-Us, Vol. 15

Once again I find that my Link-Friday queue has filled itself up long before I have finished a blog entry filled with things of a little more substance.  For this, I am sorry.  Sometimes external factors related to ones’ own survival take precedence over the more cerebral items…  (Don’t take that wrong – nobody is trying to kill me and my family – we just seem to be putting out fire after fire after fire after fire after fire…).  There are a few thoughts that I have been working on for a while that I hope to turn into actual blog entries soon enough, but for now Link-Friday will need to surfice.
Our first link is to a PCMagazine article about RPG computer games of the 80’s.  Having played at least half of these games myself, the article really took me back to a more carefree time where my biggest stressor was related to what to do after school / work.  Enjoy.

Links-R-Us, Vol. 14

Once again Link-Friday is upon us.  After the last few months of extremely depressing news, it’s good to be finding things that are uplifting and inspiring to post (despite being so long between posts).  And, on that note, here we go…
The following link talks about how the state of Nevada has just authorized cars to be driverless.  Hmmm…  Driverless cars…  That’s actually one “Science Fiction” item that will be pretty cool to have.  How many of us would love to be able to do something other than watch the road while driving the 700+ miles to get to Aunt Bertha’s house?
