Friday stuff
Oct. 15th, 2004 08:11 amWorking from home today, as Elayna's school system is off.
Reminder:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shadesong is walking in AIDS Walk Atlanta this Sunday. Sponsorship info and other stuff is here.
Read this interview with Bill Gates. I swear, he sounds like Dubya at times. The IE security issues? All the fault of the people downloading third-party stuff. And MS is all about providing choices. Oh, and IE is the most secure browser ever!
Browsing Amazon today, I saw one of those random lists on the side with a familiar icon, followed it, and saw that they now sell Rio Grande games! Not all of them, alas (no San Juan), but they have Puerto Rico and Carcassonne! The prices are okay, although the free shipping makes them competitive against Boulder and Funagain. But what's really nice is that the various relatives who shop off my wishlist for $winterholiday can now buy them for me (I received Settlers of Catan and two expansions last year, so I do hope it's a trend). I also hope that adding more adult games to Amazon is a continuing trend.
Celebrity Poker Showdown Season 4 has begun! The first episode was great (no spoilers, but the winner really impressed me). And the next one has Tony Hawk and Dennis Rodman -- Xtreme Poker! And later shows have Neil Flynn (from Scrubs, Dave Navarro and Shannon Elizabeth (both returning), and Doogie Howser!
Alas, the Ken Caminiti news isn't surprising: looks like drugs were the cause of his death.
Finally, the teaser trailer for The Ring 2 is out! That link is directly to an .mov file, so only click when you're not at work and have decent bandwidth.
mmm, Jet Girl.
