My father sent this along - I think it is great! And they have a bunch of other cards which have similar options....way cool!

WPI will grant a CS concentration in gaming....

As an alum of WPI and from the CS department I really think this is a great step forward. The program at WPI in general is one of the best in the nation. I believe that having the ability to think technically you also will graduate from WPI with a great background and be able to build on it in almost any direction. But remember this degree is not a degree in playing games - although it should help if you know how to play a game or two - this will be building the programs which the games are built upon.

Interstate Wine Sales....

While many of the Supreme Court decisions seem to have little impact on my life - this is the first case which I can really sink my teeth into - or should I say drink. I enjoy a glass of wine like the rest of us legal adults in America. I have always hated the fact that some wineries that I like in MD, NY, and VA I can't get them shipped into Massachusetts. Even my favorite CA wine Fortino and Thomas Kruge you can't get them to ship into MA. BTW if you ever goto silicon valley in CA you need to take the 45 minute drive to Gilroy and find these places. I have always that this was a pain and I did not understand why it was a problem. Finally someone told me it was all about taxes and the state controlling what happens with alcohol due the the 15th amendment to the constitution. So I have been following this case pretty closely - and yesterday the supreme court finally heard the arguments:

Briefs for Case

I can't wait to read the transcript of the arguments - posted sometime around Christmas....the decision is due next summer.

Dude!!!!!

I thought this was mildly funny - "Like Dude where is my Car" a really bad movie that actually has some meaning in the current lexicon....interesting. I found that I was actually using the work correctly - word.

Anyway I wonder if "word" will make it into some college professors studies soon...
