from slashdot: rise of the robots!

A robot with primitive AI and learning capability broke out of its cage, escaped the lab where it was built and made it as far as the parking lot before being apprehended.

Hmm....

it's kinda...gamy.

Last night, I rounded up all the people who will be playing the other Tremere in inevitability's game, and we went for a long walk by the ocean and planned and plotted and got to know each other a bit. It went very well -- I think we'll work well together. manxifer and galith are bright folks and came up lots of good ideas. I already knew that captainzap is a sharp cookie -- he and I have gamed together extensively in the past, sometimes allied and sometimes as dire enemies, and good RP has always resulted no matter what. So I'm really excited. It's going to be a great game, and we're going to do very well.

I'm almost starting to pity the other clans, really.

And I've got minions again. I haven't had good minions since the Tremere ruled Bellingham in BBN. I love having minions.

Meanwhile, I see Selena in two days. It's passing faster than I expected it to, thank gods.

advice

The only thing more dangerous than a Tremere... is a Tremere with a good lawyer.

(no subject)

I really want to see Minority Report.

But -- stars above, I haven't even gotten to see Episode II yet. *sigh*

the end of an email address

Tomorrow at 5:00 PM, Western Washington University will remove my user accounts from their computer systems.

This means that the address eriktown@cc.wwu.edu will no longer work, in case any of you still use it.

This is sort of the end of an era for me -- those accounts are my last obvious link to my alma mater, and it'll be weird to be without them, having had them for five years now. I haven't really seriously used them in a long time, but... still. It's odd.
