La Petite Morte
For future reference, dying in a dream does not mean you’ll die in real life.
That is all.

The Power of Seven
So, there I was writing the essay portion of my archaeology final this morning, when I wrote the word “Marathon” in reference to the ancient Battle of. You know, 6,000+ Persians dead, 192 Greeks, etc.
And then, for no particularly good reason, the main theme from Marathon 2 started playing in my head.
That game was awesome. :\
An Ode to Daniel Brunner
i.e., even more filler.
Dawndus Rocks
I’m working on a massive post, so here’s some filler:
It’s really not that hard, providing you can survive a while to get things moving (which isn’t a problem, since Dawndus is pretty lenient, physics-wise). If you can connect every single column into one block and launch while most of the screen is entirely filled with Meteos, it’ll launch between 80-100 and come back down. If the Meteos are falling so fast that the screen is refilled by the time the block lands, you can keep the chain going, and going, and going.
For those interested, the chain indicator stops at x99 and the in-game Meteos counter stops at 9999, although the end of game tally shows the full amount launched. You don’t even need to get CLOSE to 9,999,999 points to end with it as your final score; I died with about 1.8 million points, but the chain bonus was so gargantuan that it pumped up the score all the way up. Good times.
They Have the Internet on Phones Now?
So, at about 4:30 AM last night, while very slowly working on an archaeology paper, I glanced over to the phone and noticed something interesting: it was displaying an HTML document. Now, of course, cell phones have had the capability to connect to the internet for ages, so this might seem like nothing noteworthy. However, there are two things that make this worth mentioning:
- Normally, cell phones tend to render the page before displaying it, but this was the full page source, starting with the DOCTYPE.
- I don’t have a cell phone. This page was displaying on the dorm-issue Cisco 7940 Series IP phone.
Violation of Conservation of Mass
There’s a chance I could create worthwhile content out of the dark, dreary bowels of nothingness.
Then again, it’s probably more likely that I’ll ruin anything that could possibly be noteworthy, turning something into nothing.
Stay tuned to find out exactly which way I’ll skew the equation.
