…when a geek proposes to his girlfriend in front of a quarter of a million strangers.
(Awwwww…….)
Overly… saccharine… and yet… strangely… heartwarming… 
Update: Wired News is running a story on the proposal entitled Cupid’s Bull’s-Eye on Nerd Site .
My pompous titling aside, Wired News ran an interesting article on the wrapping up of a three-year email SOAP opera developed as advertisement for Calvin Klein’s CK One fragrance.
Someone has developed a new, much more accessible version of Beowulf and posted it for all the world to read.
Pretty cool! Check it out.
New campaign, new website.
I started a new D&D campaign this past Saturday (it went quite well, thank you). One of the things I’ll be trying (again) is to have an actively-maintained campaign support site.
The Grey City Chronicles site is still under development; mostly, I need to transcribe all the little world bits floating ’round my head!

Dune Mini-Series Special Edition on its Way
Fuck - I hate, hate, hate when they do this: I buy a DVD soon after its release only to have the studio release a better edition some months later. Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Almost Famous.

…the Super Bowl commercials.
(Okay, maybe less so this year, what with the Patriots’ last-minute, upset victory over the Rams. But in general, such is the case.)
Interesting side note: TiVo collected some aggregate data on their users’ Super Bowl viewing habits. The most-watched play? The field goal that ended the game. The most-watched commercial? Britney, baby.
Addendum: Wired News is also running a story on TiVo’s findings.
