Another day off
Sep. 7th, 2005 07:44 pmMy sister only has a short work day today, so I decided to just say home and goof off again, especially since I can expect tomorrow to be quite the marathon. I decided to spend some time online, which I did, though I don't guess I really got anything that useful accomplished. Recently, Space Nerd Wil Wheaton called his blog "a risk-free creative outlet with no deadlines." I really liked the sound of that, and I realized that I used to think of my blog that way, too. I still do, I suppose, but I have to say, I haven't been feeling very creative for quite some time. I suppose I've had other things on my mind and so forth, but really...it has been quite a while since I've done anything even remotely creative. Sad, that. Not like I will (or even can) do anything about it, I guess...I'm not driven mad by muses or anything...things just come to me. I guess nothing's been coming to me lately. Oh, well. :)
Instead, I'll just link to things. :) I read this post recently about whether poker should be called a sport or not. I suppose it's an old debate, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway, just to hear what people had to say. I'm also posting it here instead of in my poker blog just to get some non-poker-player opinions. :) It reminds me of a discussion we had back in the office in San Francisco for a while, about what made a sport. Like...is playing darts a sport? Synchronized swimming? I'm not sure we ever really came up with anything hard and fast for that. Maybe there is no hard and fast rule; maybe it's just one of those grey areas. Me, I'm contenting myself with caling it a nerd sport and leaving it at that.
Seems to be a busy day in the game designer corner of my friends list, too. I'll give a happy birthday shoutout to Jared Sorenson, even though he'll never read this and most of you don't know or care who he is. :) John Wick pointed to a political cartoon I really liked here. And, to sort of round out the "geeks like us" feeling I get sometimes in reading the journals of strangers, I point y'all to this Chad Underkoffler post. Yeah...that was just out of the blue.
So yeah, not a whole hell of a lot to report, ya know? :) With that, I move on to the memes...

Isn't it just swell that I take the time to post? ;) In any case, that's all for now. Peace!
