Very cool – New Scientist. If I was going to college now, I would absolutely be studying materials science, there is just so much cool stuff going on.

We’ve raised our own personal terror alert to Blue – we are “guarded”. We had three police cars in our driveway this morning, after 3-4 young people celebrating a 21st birthday got out of hand, broke into the boat locker in the park next door, stole a canoe, landed at our dock, and wandered thru our yard to the street at 6:45am. Unfortunately they parked their car at the park, and were nicely caught on a security camera, so they spent the remainder of the day in jail.

I bought Links 2003 and installed recently, wanted to see what state of the art in golf games was. This can’t be it. Buggy as crap – hard to finish a round without a crash. And compared to a modern 3d accelerated game (Battlefield 1942, Unreal Tournament, etc), this is such a slow game. It renders a static background, a player moving, and a little white ball flying thru the air – a pathetic amount of motion and detail compared to one of these other games. And yet it takes Links sometimes as much as a minute to render the next scene. What is it doing?
Tiger Woods 2003 is reputedly a better game.

| I’m listening a lot to their latest album. Well the Lindsay Buckingham tracks anyway, I can’t stand the Nicks compositions or the performance. It is cool that they let you download the first single – [Fleetwood Mac single download | How It Works](http://www.repriserecords.com/fleetwoodmac/downloadsingle/page2.html “Fleetwood Mac single download | How It Works”) – using paypal for just $1.49. Way better option than making me subscribe to some music service. |

I need to get smarter about SHN – Some SHN Resources looks like a place to start. I have plenty of storage, I’d like to start ripping my CDs in SHN format rather than a lossy format.
