There's this new thing out, it's called StarCraft....

So it's Friday...

We are still waiting to hear on Apple things, the forum has pretty much become the biggest thing since sliced bread, Dave Rosenburg at CNET even wrote up a nice little article about our frustrations. Here at HQ our mood has gone from ranting, to venting, to retreating into sadness with the hopes of one day rising from the darkness with an aura of soft-white-ambient-light happiness (I see doves too, for some reason). But none of this changes things, so we have tried to find new ways to cope.

I have started knitting. True story, here's a picture:

I know it's not very far yet, it's not easy and I had to start over because I screwed up.



You can also see the latest issue of Wired in the background, there's a really good article in there by Clive Thompson on looking for new game-changing startups. I won't spoil it, but he says, "If I had to place a bet on one area [where the next big startup will come from], it would be location-based apps on mobile phones." I like to think he's talking about PK...
*I would link to it, but Wired waits about a month before it puts up articles so go get a copy and check it out.

But experiments with knitting are pretty much only being done by... me. Everyone else has started playing this new game called StarCraft, ever heard of it? Specifically we are playing the Brood War expansion. Yup, that dates back to 1998...

Things get pretty tense during the games, lots of strategy-talk and cursing goes on. Justin usually wins... by himself, against three or four others. I played once and he annihilated me in about 15 minutes but my team, which I supported emotionally from the grave, went on to win so I like to think I helped as canon fodder. Andy and Jon are pretty good and I think Alayna is a sleeper. I haven't seen Andrew and Forrest play yet, but I expect good things.

Humor helps too, here's a little comic from xkcd that's popular at HQ...


So they mock me for putting random things in here but it's Friday so who cares: here's something for your random entertainment. Have a good weekend!
