The Secrets of Hung Men -- From the cover of July/August Kung Fu Quigong, referring to Hung Gar kung fu.

Games Have Freedom of Speech
Video games have been listed as protected by the first admendment by the Supreme Court. The story is listed here.
Finally some sense has been made in this issue. Too many people have been blaming games for the behaviour of their children instead of taking responsibility for the way they act. Thats about as smart as blaming guns for the amount of crime in the country.
Employment Opportunities
I've come to the realization that I wasnt made for physical labor.
The company that I am employed with is one of the sponsors for the local chapter of Habitat of Humamity. This is the charity that has local companies and builders volunteer their time and materials in order to help builds homes for under-priviledged people.
I'm not one for such physical work, but I didnt want to be the only person on my team that didnt volunteer. What can I say? It was peer pressure.
After a somewhat disturbing drive to the more seedy part of town, I found myself "volunteered" for building the walls that would be the framework of the next home. I dont know a thing about building so I had to defer to the knowledge of Richard, the carpenter who was in charge of us.
Six hours of measuring lumber, firing a heavy nail gun repeatedly, pulling nails from wood, and stacking newly fabricated walls into slates will wear you down. The part that kept me laughing was Richard, who would keep telling us war stories about how at a nail either penetrated his fingers, foot, or leg.
There was the story about the forklift that fell on his toe... *shivers*
I definately have a new found respect for those in the construction industry.
Out in The Yard
An editor with Eweek noted that viruses are a problem, but its the idiot users who decide to keep sending the damn things out have become more of the major problem. I tend to agree so the story is here.
The biggest liar in West Virginia is going into politics. How ironic. Read it here.
This has to be one of the best commercials I've ever seen. Give it time to load though. Its a little slow, even on a cable connection.

When I look into your eyes
There's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes
Staring back at me
