“When you are playing a character of solid blackness, that in itself is very interesting, in the sense that you have no other motivation other than the accumulation of power… It’s not so much about not having a moral center, it’s just that the only thing that mattered is increasing power.”

- 12:35 @LeapStryke I shudder to think of what brought me to mind. Alumni stuff, indeed... #
- 23:38 Arrived home from #origins2009 - an excellent time was had. Many thanks to all! #
- 23:38 @asteigle You're welcome! I figured it was something you guys might enjoy. :) #
- 23:42 @cthulhim Indeed! Quite the surprise! It was a relatively quick jaunt... ;) #
- 08:31 Yesterday #origins2009 saw a trial run of AH: Innsmouth Horror, as well as Traitor & Fluxx 4.0. Today: @vandermore's SoTC game, more AH & ? #
- 13:29 @vandermore's SoTC game was a blast. The cake is a lie. #origins2009 #
- 17:03 Doc_Blue With Jim, Mur and a few others in an Arkham Horror game. Probably be there after 5:45. Jim's going to call you, I think. #
- 22:03 The weight of the world rests on @minitotoro's shoulders. Repeatedly. #origins2009 #
- 08:32 My thoughts are with @scifilaura and her colleagues this morning. And totally agree with her last tweet. #
- 10:15 Things learned at #origins2009 - @scifilaura is more devious than even I have known, & her assassin's guild wears yellow & cuteness. #
- 13:27 Hitting the road for #origins2009 - if you hear a doppler "squeeeee!" pass you by, you'll know who it is. #
- 21:17 @vandermore Yes I do, in fact. Just arrived. :) #origins2009 #
- 21:19 Arrived with @scifilaura at #origins2009 - bkite.com/08Sal #
- 21:34 @pkdmedia Well, it's not like they visited you either. :) Successful show for you? #
- 11:24 @Wifepick Hi! *waves* And the final member of the 'pick clan falls to the temptation of Twitter. Mwa ha ha! #
- 11:25 One day until Origins! Squee! Squee! Squee! *whack* *thump* #origins2009 #
- 12:08 On this day in aeons past, @pfischer @martyndarkly & @ptevis were liberated from their respective amniotic sacs. Huzzah! #
- 12:15 @encaf1 A devoted focus on gaming and fun with excellent people, free of the work, chaos, and "social complexity " of other cons. #
- 12:44 @ravyn More revolutionary. Or something. #
- 12:44 @encaf1 Perhaps... I haven't had the pleasure of going to GenCon to compare. #
- 18:24 I'm at Tio Pepe's - bkite.com/08PCE #
- 10:02 @Geistbear Well, that's Akron for you. It's an easy place to "tire" of. #
- 10:38 @vandermore It's ready to advance to Phase 4. ;) #origins2009 #
- 19:28 @NukeHavoc Oh, lovely. The last thing you need is pre-con crud. :) #
- 23:17 @ShannonFarrell Funny. The motion detectors and laser harpoons didn't go off. I'll need to lock down and check out the circuits. #
- 23:50 Three days until Origins! Squee! Squee! Squee! *whack* *thump* #
- 00:16 @Geistbear Well, I am from that area of Ohio, and I do honestly enjoy going back from time to time. #
- 00:17 @encaf1 It's a rare thing, but... it does happen on occasion. I understand that it is, indeed, amusing to watch. #
- 12:23 Dear Neptune: Yoir attempts to increase your worship-base by tossing large scoops of ocean into the sky is *not* appreciated. Kthxbai #
- 12:51 @susanz At least you can take comfort in the fact that said zombies don't have STI's. It's a small thing, but it helps. #
- 15:41 Overheard, shouted at an unwrapped just-microwaved sandwich: "No, no, NO. The cheesy goodness is meant to be eaten, not lost! Never lost." #
- 17:38 Four days until Origins! Squee! Squee! Squee! *whack* *thump* #
- 19:03 @HeatherWelliver Happy happy happy birthday! #
- 01:29 On a personal and global level, I am reminded that the world is damn beautiful. Tragedy is the contrast that helps the beauty to be seen. #
- 07:47 RT @hedron: #CircuitsIPhone My first #iPhone game, Circuits, is now available in the App Store itunes.com/app/circuits #
- 09:16 I uploaded a YouTube video -- Circuits by @hedron - quick video review bit.ly/6FA8p #
- 10:08 @breakall I sooo need to patent that technology. :) #
- 10:09 @spiritusvult Absolutely right! I'd have been quite impressed. #
- 10:10 @jramboz You are correct. Assurances were provided. ;) #
- 13:07 RT @cmdln: I put a Burton Baton in the fridge this morning. It's little cries are making the countdown to the weekend even more difficult. #
- 14:25 I do what Cthulhim sez. RT @cthulhim: You can get Circuits from the iPhone App Store at is.gd/16rPt. Cthulhim sez check it out. #
- 16:28 @komejo ***GASP*** That is the awesome of the week, to be sure! I'd so buy the first one, of course. #
- 08:27 When the aliens land, I hope they don't judge us as a race by the lady in the cafeteria shouting the following without being asked: #
- 08:28 ..."I already went through this with the supervisor last year, and I *can* get pudding with my birthday coupon! Do you hear me?!" #
- 09:04 @Cynical_Woman Eat it. I hope. Making assumptions is often bad... #
- 09:05 @Biscuitus Those questions are not related. But the answer to both is Yes. #
- 14:48 RT @strangerthings: Is it too much to say: iPhone Cut and Paste: sweeet myyystery of life at last I've fooooound youuuuuu #
- 17:53 Sometimes, Fear Factory is the only option. #
- 20:34 @gozombiego RAWK \m/ #
- 20:50 @mightymur Occasionally, even the Matrix has a passing spot of white noise. #
- 21:51 @UrsulaV and @ksonney - you guys need to hook up with my old friend @pkdmedia at #heroescon . It would be good times. #
- 22:48 @Biscuitus Consider me in the penalty box. #
- 23:07 @pkdmedia You need to stop by @ursulav & @ksonney 's booth at #heroescon , and they need to stop by yours. ;) #

- 01:39 @spacesooner Seriously, she did. She bought them tuxes, and tries to marry them and everything. Kind of embarassing. #
- 01:41 @sinspired That's true. Color me reassured. :) #
- 01:45 @SVAllie Our hair is just as self-washing as our hands are. #

- 01:54 @jbcrail I can honestly say that said link bent my brain at a non-Euclidian angle. Ow. #
- 01:55 @Daecabhir Precisely. #

Some people have decided that it is currently “homeopathy awareness week.”
As such, it is incumbent on me to do my part in the distribution of educational materials:

- 11:05 Someone, somewhere, has to have inscribed a summoning circle around their coffee maker. #
- 12:30 @Nightwolfwriter Short range, eh? Be careful, else I'll come over there and get my precious coffee back. #
- 12:30 @Geistbear Yes, but I thought she was talking about the circle around your tap... #
- 12:31 @ConstellationBo No worries. Coffee was made, in the end. :) #
- 13:13 Working on my character for @vandermore's SoTC game at Origins. #
- 19:34 @MattFnWallace At least I had the chance to visit downtown before you did. The devastation you leave in your wake will be glorious to be ... #
- 14:41 Just about caught up on Mr. Deity. I didn't know about Words until now, but I think it's funnier than Mr. D. Excellent stuff. #
- 15:08 @codeshaman My work for the day is done. ;) #
- 22:01 RT @mightymur: New blog post: I'm me. Be you. bit.ly/n5BTo #
- 22:02 The jury's still out on Royal Pains, but it has promise. And a doctor. #
- 22:58 @susanz Agreed on both counts, especially with how they've set up Tucker's character. The TiVo will be attentive. :) #
- 00:22 I need to work "I must now don my schadenfreude cravat" into frequent conversation. #
- 10:37 @codeshaman As do I. The wrath of @vandermore is something I hope not to stoke. #
- 07:59 I do not know what the exact composition of "cosmic steel" is, but that does not prevent me from wanting a battleship made of it. #
- 08:52 @planetx A Vorpal Sword of Cosmic Steel brings the snicker-snack of the stars. #
- 08:53 @robsuarez I think that just broke my periodic table. #
- 08:54 @scifilaura Excellent point. I wonder if cosmic steel self- vacuum seals? #
- 09:28 Sinai Hospital of Baltimore final medical grand rounds of the year: "Resident Research" #
- 10:00 @Nobilis It's a grand, if not well-advertised, tradition. I just wish the one with the electrodes would stop twitching so much. #
- 10:52 @jramboz Interesting idea. We can compare their time at the hospital with the amplitude of bounce and degree of rubberization. #
- 10:53 @bjmclaughlin If anything, the Death Star was made of "cosmic tin." #
- 10:55 @jrblackwell You cannot fight a duel with swords of cosmic steel over the internet. #
- 20:29 @melaniet42 Safe trip, and enjoy the week! #
- 20:30 @johntindale and the same goes for you too. :) #
- 20:32 RAWK. RT @cthulhim: Next week, there are no stretch breaks in Hell. Doom finally comes to the iPhone: bit.ly/JRLYv #
- 20:40 @bjmclaughlin Yeah, but then it would have been an "obvious" target. #
- 20:41 @sinspired No. It hertz to contemplate. #
- 20:45 @jramboz True. That's why I poke them with the Point-ed Stick of Knowledge as opposed to thwacking them with the Limp-ed Noodle of Learning. #
- 20:47 @mightymur Well, you can't store them on the phone - you'd have to exit the game. #vintagegamerlive #balticon #
- 20:49 @MattFnWallace And it is for the sake of your soul that we have spared the world our joining of power. But only that. #
- 20:51 CTHULHU BE PRAISED YES RT @jbcrail: @Cmaaarrr They need to put these pancakes on the menu of IHOP: tr.im/od5C #
- 21:35 Dear L&O: CI: if you advertise a major plot twist, don't make it easy to figure out in the first few minutes. Kthxbai #
- 19:41 It pleases me to no end to discover that there once was an august body known as the Royal Commission on Vivisection. #
- 22:47 @MattFnWallace And that is a story that will be required reading for the ages once written. #
- 22:50 Squee! RT @cthulhim: Origins Board Room folks, just posted at BGG: "Truck due in today with the 1000's of games to be given away at ORIGINS" #
- 23:56 @cthulhim What, no Men & Amputees?Whatever shall we mock? :) #
