TotD: Controlling the Public
Wag the Dog, anyone? There have always existed three ways of keeping the people loving and loyal. One is to leave them alone, to trust them and not to interfere. This plan, however, has very seldom been practised, because the…
Weekend Update
We had a very nice weekend, fairly quiet for me (as usual). Katie went out with her beau Friday night, and Sam and I finally got to see the first season 2 Torchwood episode, “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.” It was…

Sam has started another podcast in cahoots with Bill Walton. This one, Square One, is for completely new gamers. Check it out – they’ve done a good job. I’m in one episode, though I don’t think that one’s up yet.…
