Blurred Line

Well, the season of Christmas parties is in full swing. Had two this weekend, which resulted in much intoxication. Fortunately, I remained coherent and didn't embarrass myself at all...well, unless you count my terrible performance at acting as Shania Twain during a drunken came of Cranium. By the way, if you haven't played Cranium, you're missing out. It's kind of like fusing Pictionary, Charades, and Trivial Pursuit together. Fun enough on its own, but damn near perfect entertainment when copious amounts of alcohol are introduced to the mix.

Also, finished reading Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age. I'm always impressed with what Stephenson can do with technology, and he really outdid himself with this one. The amount of cool tech stuff in this book basically kicks Snow Crash around the block. However, besides one of the main characters, I never found myself really into the book. Plus, there were a bunch of loose threads hanging around, which always irritates me. Still, there's more than enough to like here...but for me it didn't come anywhere close to Snow Crash or Cryptonomicon.

Keyword of the day: Unfortunately, it looks like hits to the blog have dropped off to near nothing over the past two days, so nothing too interesting to write about here. Although, someone did come to the site looking for "blurred porn". Hot.
