Isn't this a cool graphic? It comes to us from Fergus Murray, via MoFi. Huzzah!

Hallibush Wars, Inc.

Representative Henry Waxman's office recently completed a report entitled Iraq on the Record: The Bush Administration's Public Statements on Iraq. So there can be no doubt that Rumsfeld did indeed say Iraq poses an "immediate threat", despite his claims to the contrary on Face the Nation. (That link takes you right to a Windows Media File -- and yes, that is Thomas Friedman, of all people, calling him out.)

It snowed this morning. Not too bad -- but it gave me a chance to test out the new tires. You know, I don't mind this weather so much, now that my wheels have some tread on them! Warmer, too. Keep it up, Ra!

Uru: Ages Beyond Myst

I've been a fan of the Myst games since the first one hit the shelves of my local game shop. I've made it through the sequels Riven and Exile, and I've been eagerly awaiting the fourth installment, Uru, which was supposed to be an online multiplayer version.

Alas, it's not to be. Worse, there's no Mac version available right now. Curses! What a slap in the face -- Myst I was created entirely on the Mac, and for a while it wasn't available on the PC. Now that a different company has taken over, they've left us Mac users out in the cold. Humph!

Of course, I'll still buy it when it does come out. I just hope they learned from their mistakes in Exile and put gameplay before design. (In one of the Exile worlds, I can't see what the heck is going on, and I just click wildly until I hit the right thing. It's stunning but impossible to play.)
