abge's Craft Corner
My gf and I made a small table. Nothing intense; the pieces were pre-cut, we just picked what we liked and assembled and painted it. I'm pretty sure it ended up being more expensive than just buying one, but it was a fun project. http://tinyurl.com/lm89ydg

Anyone else have a fun project they're working on they'd like to share?

Article on press
http://www.diplom.org/Zine/F2012M/Johnston/discuss.htm

An article describing how press ties into the strategy of a high-level player. (I played with this guy years ago on Bounced. With all due respect to THM, MM, Ebay, VI, etc, he's still the best opponent I've ever faced).

Open CD Positions
We have a ton of open CD positions tonight. Take one, take two, take ten. Take them all if you'd like. The best (subjectively, of course) positions are those near the top but the ones at the bottom are all still in contention in their respective games. If a game is broken, send me a PM.

On the Dreaded WebEx

Client of mine today requested something from me called rather unfortunately a WebEx. My worst fears were confirmed - he intends to oggle me using some rather unsavory technology and behold the great indignity of my mighty and rotund girth.

Does one reach another conclusion about the WebEx crowd other than that they are planning to use Internets to molest the young people? How is WebEx even legal? Decent persons will never use it.

Al, I think the premise is to view your face, not your girth. However, if you want the client to stop using WebEx, you could simply point the webcam solely at your 'mighty and rotund girth' and randomly say, "Hey bub -- eyes up here."

Overdid it just a little bit with "great indignity of my mighty and rotund girth," otherwise this would have been flawless. You're still gonna get a lot of bites with this one

What splendid idea, Old Chap! I can think of no better deterrent than to treat my opponent to a glimpse of the bleached expanse of my belly. They shan't know what hit 'em.

@Tru Ninja
I am sorry that my writing is not to your liking, Old Sport. Have you any further criticism to make?

@tendmote
I was attempting to satirize the rate at which "technorati" in Western Culture tend to embrace new technology, even (especially) stuff that makes the rest of us uncomfortable.

If you had heard thirty years ago that businessmen would no meet in the comfort of their offices and discuss business cordially over brandy, but would instead rather have what the young people call "Cam" sessions, would you be prepared to believe it?

Essentially I am satirizing the idea that people should make themselves uncomfortable to accommodate the rate of technological adoption, rather than to tailor technology to make each other more comfortable.

Because of course Putin ALWAYS waits for a UN mandate before taking military action himself, right?
