Parenting: You did it right.

Good post, and good point. Thanks for bringing it up. I also like the "close the highway" analogy, regardless of how accurate it may be. Normally I tell people that some of the laws we see proposed are similar to holding an auto manufacturer liable for crimes committed in one of their cars. Murderer drove a Ford Fusion to dump the body in a landfill? Sue Ford for ALL THE MONEYS!

Thank you good sir, the RFB is appreciated. At one point I had them all downloaded on an iDevice for listening to during my long commute. It made the drive quite tolerable, so you have my sword. And my gratitude.

Great story; I too find myself in a state of wonder about the little computer I carry in my pocket and how it runs circles around the ones I grew up loving. Of course if you give me a choice there's a non-zero chance I'd pick the old machine, just to be that kid again...at least for a little while.

Hey, let's not be too hard on "Wesley Crusher, Boy Genius". I grew up watching TNG and I always thought it would be cool to be in Wesley's position - you know, assuming starships and all that could exist. Going back and watching TNG episodes as an adult, it surprises me how much like the character I was. ...though I never did lose any nanites.

Good read. I gave up on Sports = Serious some years ago, but I still enjoy motorsports. Even if I don't always like the outcome of a race or a season, there's still history there, having grown up with it.

I read reviews because a lot of them will contain both good and bad info about a game, regardless of the score. But I get more relevant information from the Penny Arcade forum than anywhere else...so that's my go-to.
