I could not believe you can demonstrate the scale of the universe any better than Charles and Ray Ames' classic film, Powers of Ten, but two bothers have made an on-line portal that blows Powers of Ten away.

Check out The Scale of the Universe 2. Takes a minute to load and then have your mind stretched.

This is what electronic "publishing" is really about.

I just confirmed with probability wizard +Matthew Neagley that the Castles & Crusades SIEGE Engine mechanic is functionally no different than setting the base DC for all checks at 18 and giving PCs a +6 to their prime attribute checks. No probability difference whatsoever from the actual mechanic (which ...more...

New nightly #16 is up:

Changelog:

The Awesomeness of Clementines
I've been bringing clementines to work as a snack. This is awesome because:

1. They're awesomely easy to peel.
2. They taste awesomely sweeter and are less acidic than oranges.
3. They're nearly seedless. Awesome.
4. Each bite is like an explosion of fresh, sweet, citrus awesomeness.
5. They add a nice awesome aroma to my office.

Clementine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A clementine is a variety of mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata), so named in 1902. The exterior is a deep orange colour with a smooth, glossy appearance. Clementines can be separated into seven to fo...

Where Do Your Dreams Go? Wallpaper

From the original post:

"Where Do Your Dreams Go?
When you awake
Do they fall to the floor
Like leaves from a tree
Little memories that slowly die

Where do your dreams go
When you awake
Do they bud deep green
On a life anew
In the branches of time
Little memories when you look up
Where do your dreams go
When you awake?"

Really impressive fast shooting archer. Pretty accurate too. Makes me think of the ten second combat rounds, or even minute-long combat rounds, of some game systems!
