The Kirgles are demanding tribute. I should do some of their missions, it'll shut them up... At some point I need to plant this colony. Is spice being wasted by lacking storage? And who will buy my stuff...
Spore. By the time you get to space age, it's very realistic. There's always something to do: once you've finished everything else, you need to collect spice from your colonies/planets. By the time you've done that, there'll be something else to do, guaranteed. That's why I prefer the creature stage...

Shintolin.

It's a great game. In my opinion, of course. It's set in an era when humanity has only just stopped being a nomadic race. So far it's stone-age-ish, but with the promise of metallurgy to come. Agriculture is going well, and most of the world is at peace. For now...

Motorcycles

There's something about a motorcycle, I don't know, that entails a certain amount of... freedom. Not like a car, because you live for the sunshine, and the feel of wind through your hair/fingers. You can zip around things, and get off and push or carry if you wish. It's less enclosed, and it's cheaper, for the starving student/artist/et cetera. Now if I could just get over the two-wheeled-easy-to-fall-off thing...
And of course, the whole oh-no-it's-raining-and-I-have-no-roof thing.

Copyright

The first copyright protection lasted just 14 years. Do you know what? I think we should go back to that. (and by "we" I mean the world) Or 15 years, as nice round number. 50 years post-humously? That's an awfully long time! 15 years seems right to me.

May

During all of April, I did not post a single thing. Just drafts. It's my preferred method of posting. Doesn't draw any more attention than necessary... yet.

It's my birthday today! Yay!
