Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Sebastian Thrun: Google's Driverless Car
Civilization is coming to Facebook
Gone are the days when you actually did stuff.
Forget actually getting work done in the office.
You've turned your last steak in CafeWorld and milked your last cow in FarmVille -- because ladies and gentlemen, Sid Meier's Civilization will soon be available on the world's largest social network: Facebook. (In fact there's already a Facebook group that you can join for up-to-date news!)
I don't expect this to appeal to all of you -- in fact, those of you under 20 probably haven't even heard of the Civ franchise, but for those of you that have played it, you'll understand the awesomeness of this release.
I leave you with Overlord Meier's own words:
"Civilization Network will allow you to join together with your friends to create the world's most powerful, richest, smartest, or just plain coolest civilization."

I'm 30. Never played civilization once. I feel ok.

Well... that's because you've never played it. And thus spent days, weeks, months and years playing campaigns. Basically, you've never fallen in love with Civ, and that's why you don't CARE!

Hah... hah... hah.
We can but hope, mate. We can but hope.
As I wrote this entry I could hear the sounds of cows and sheep and pigs emanating from downstairs... and I don't live on a farm...
