  • Quotation of the Moment

    /
    The difference between a good speech and a great speech is the energy with which the audience comes to their feet at the end. Is it polite? Is it a chore? Are they standing up because their boss is standing up? No, we want it to come from their socks.

    The West Wing #2.12: "The Drop-In," written by Lawrence O'Donnell, Jr. and Aaron Sorkin.

Tales Update: Hardcover now available

Posted by jetblack on November 29th, 2006

I put up a hardcover edition of the book, for those who prefer it. It’s a bit more expensive since it has a dust cover, but I’m picking one up for my mom, who’s been wanting one for a long time.

Tales From A Parallel Universe

by Michael D. Garcia

  • $25.00 Hardcover book

    • Support independent publishing: buy this book on Lulu.

    Also, any of my former WNOHGB compatriots who wrote stories about the ol’ game, if you’re interested in participating in a second Tales, let me know. I know some of you were writing some before the game got shut down and it would be cool to put some of that up on the site.

    For Shits and Grins…

    Posted by jetblack on November 19th, 2006

    I restarted the ol’ WNO core back at its former address of wnohgb.org 1701. I’m using it primarily for codetesting of some utilities I have knocking around in my head, and because I figured if any old players wanted to jump on and grab descs or whatever, that would be cool, too.

    While I have zero intentions of restarting the game in any form, if people want to keep playing, then go for it. Space is running, so all sims are active and whatnot.

    As with all pools without lifeguards, no running or screaming and first aid has to be rendered by someone else. I’m not adminning a damn thing. :)

    NaNo: 25,000th Word

    Posted by jetblack on November 9th, 2006

    I hit 25,000 words early this morning. The 25,000th word was ‘way.’

    Here’s an updated total:

    No, John. Rick lost.

    Posted by jetblack on November 8th, 2006

    John Lewandowski, over at SantorumBlog discussed the results of Santorum’s defeat by Casey, Jr. in the recent Senate election for Pennsylvania. In a nutshell, he says that Santorum didn’t lose because he was Santorum, but because voters had an wet-cat-like reaction to anyone with the letter ‘R’ next to their name. In the blog post, he says, “His loss had nothing to do with his social conservatism. His loss hadnothing to do with his strong positions on the issues. And that’sbecause his loss had nothing to do with him and everything to do withan anti-Republican sentiment…”

    Give me a break. Could all the Pennsylvanians on my friends’ list who did not vote for the lame duck junior Senator from PA go over there, and drop a comment setting the record straight and showing Mister Lewandowski that his misguided attempt to assauge the resounding defeat is… well, misguided? :)

    What Does a Democratically-controlled House mean to you?

    Posted by jetblack on November 8th, 2006

    This is what it all means to me:

    • An end to any support for a Republican president who thinks of himself as an Imperialist leader.
    • An end to any support for any amendment denying the rights of anyone based on sexual orientation.
    • An end to any support for any amendment abridging the rights of citizens looking to express dissatisfaction with their government by burning their flag in protest.
    • An end to any support for blank check funding of a war in Iraq by President Bush.
    • An end to any support for any act that would remove freedoms and rights from the people, all in the name of protecting those very same freedoms.
    • An end to any support for advancing the agenda of the religious right.
    • An end to fake ethics, fake morals, fake integrity, and fake leadership by a party that claims it has all four and then proves to the American people that it clearly does not.
    • An end to a two-hundred-thirty year absence of a female speaker in the House of Representatives.
    • An end to being embarrassed of my government.

    D is for Victory, people.

    D is for Victory!

    Posted by jetblack on November 8th, 2006

    I’d like to thank everyone who got out to the polls today to make their voices heard.  Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, Green or Libertarian, Reform or Peace & Freedom… you stood up for your ideals and sent your message loud and clear.

    Personally, I’m absolutely ecstatic over the returns I’m seeing reported by several sources:

    In 2006, D is for Victory!
