So I figured I would go to the web site and submit a request there.
I get a response back the next day that [...]

I suspect this might become more common, but I believe I may have developed some Wii Elbow from playing tennis on Wii Sports.

Last week I decided to launch a Delphi podcast.  It was a lot of work, but amazingly it all came together and I met my deadline of having the first episode online this morning.  I did however discover it was very, very time consuming to put it together.  I sepent over 10 hours just making, [...]

“It’s just a ride and we can change it any time we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money, a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. [...]

This is actually a variation of a party game I played a while back.  In the party game each person would write down a question (just a random question) and then they were mixed up.  Everyone gets someone else’s question, which they then answer.  Then all the answers are mixed up and you read a [...]
