Will I get to attend and purchase a signed copy of Starslip Crisis: Volume 1… probably not. I imagine it’ll be another weekend of crazy, exhausting, kid watching time.
In the further adventures of the Species Confused Duck… here’s a video of the horrible thing. Actually I’m just testing out flickr’s new video capabilities. Works pretty well if you ask me.
For April Fools this year, Guild Wars turned everyone into stick figures. Last year the flipped the genders on all the characters, which I thought was really clever. Stick figures walking around in a 3D environment was pretty nifty.
I’ve been working on a few titles, including Tyrian Cartographer and Protector. I’m 96.1% on mapping and getting the rest is turning out to be a real pain. I’m only 3 mission bonus’ away from getting Protector… but I’m not in any hurry.
Once I get these Tyrian titles out of the way, I think I’ll go back to working on the EoTN grinding titles. My main focus is still getting cash to buy a skill trainer for the guild hall. I’m almost halfway there with 40+ platinum. It’s still going to take forever.
After that I’m going back to skill capping… almost have all the Elonian elites capped.
My daughter received a package on our doorstep. Inside was a duck. The duck in question flaps his wings singing the chicken dance song… quacking instead of clucking.
It is amazingly funny to watch my little girl flapping her arms along with the plush critter. Still I have to pause for a little head scratching… I mean it is the CHICKEN dance… and it’s a DUCK. Guess there isn’t an equivalent duck dance song.
Species confused fowl aside, Easter weekend was a lot of fun albeit exhausting. Eggs were colored, hidden, and gathered. The new baby’s room was cleaned, a new (used) changing table and crib were bought, and double stroller was also purchased. All in all a tiring holiday.

History in the making. In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the likely next President is about to deliver a speech that could be historic as a symbol of an America that is starting to move beyond racial divisions. Here’s the full text.
So it seems Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were both skeptical about patents and copyrights. Well I guess our lawmakers don’t care much about what those guys had to say. I haven’t read all the way through this article series, but of the small taste I’ve had so far it looks quite interesting.

Mike Masnick of Techdirt.com writes another insightful article on intellectual property. This one looks at the roots of copyrights and patents in the US Constitution. Short and highly readable.
