So this is basically the scariest thing i’ve ever seen relating to copyright laws and their abuse.

Happy Monday!

I realize that this probably will miss the mark with some of you kids, but none-the-less, here’s a link to my latest creative ideology. Please note: the image at bottom of page is the philosophy, not the image at top.

Bored at work? Need a break from tooling around the interwebs? Looking for a little digital battle?

Welcome to the wonderful world of weewar.com. Request and invite. Set up a user name. Do battle and talk trash on complete strangers in an online version of Risk, but you know, cooler. Build forts. Build fighting forces. Takeover bases. All in the name of entertainment. The great part about it is that it’s super strategic and the 16 bit graphics totally downplay any association with wanton violence that happens to be ensuing on screen.

The absolute best thing about it, is that you can set time limits from five minutes to three days per turn, so that even if you’ve got other stuff to do you can still get a few rounds in over the course of an eight hour work day, and your boss will never be the wiser.

Which is nice for those putting in their 40 hours this week.

A word of warning though: This is seriously the most addictive game that i’ve ever played. And coming from someone with as an addictive personality as I’ve got (no comments from the peanut gallery here), that’s saying something.

I give it: ****** on a scale of five.

According to Forbes Magazine, our very own Wichita Kansas seems to be a hotbed of employment opportunity for the coming year ahead.

Fascinating.

Of course, Salt Lake City, Utah is ranked no. 1, so i’m not sure that they’re factoring in mormons and christian conservatives…

Millstein won!!!! Take a look at this video towards the end.

Here’s a nice little design that i did for the thing that i’m working on. This appears center chest on orange shirt.

I don’t know everyone on this post, so I thought I would just introduce myself. Hello, my name is Liz. I moved from Lawrence 4 years ago and have been on the west coast ever since. Also, I am Trevor’s cousin. Nice to meet you. There, done.

I am, at the moment, and for most moments for the next 6 weeks, studying for my qualifying exams, writing my proposal, and writing a computer model to look at how well marine reserves work when you assume adult animals move (as they often do). So I will pose a question:

What do you know about marine reserves?

I have been working on this for so long that I have no idea anymore what the average intelligent person who isn’t entrenched in this everyday thinks or knows about the subject, and I am very interested to find out.

If you would like to know more I can send my powerpoint to Trevor. He gives a mean presentation of my project. But you’ll have to get him drunk first.
