• Legend of Zelda Maps
  This was my favorite video game ever.
  Here’s a map of the entire Zelda world. Wow that brings back memories.

Okay, so the title here is a little harsh, but you’ve got to wonder. I’m listening to the Radiant Podcast to say if they say anything about it. From what I can see they decided to remove the ad with “It’s Our Turn Now” across the top. I’d like to think it has something to do with the discussion that was started here regarding the sexist implications of that statement.

I emailed Cara and asked what she thought about my thoughts on it, but it doesn’t seem like she responded at all. It could be purely coincidence that the Ad has been changed, but that’s just a little suspicious. Oh well, I think it will remain a mystery.

UPDATE: Though I never got a direct response on the ad change, Cameron (Prez over at Relevant) did reply with some thoughtful comments on my Message Board post.

I’m not sure that I can over ephasize the importance of letting out a nice juicy brain fart once or twice a day. It’s a fairly natural process and, once you get over your concern about it being impolite or rude, it’s a very refreshing thing to do.

I usually have to get one out during work, at least a couple of times a day. I share an office, but my co-worker is understanding and I’m much more productive after it’s released.

What your’s will look like is really very dependent on your own personality. Some will be very rigid (maybe a straight forward To Do list), others will be incredibly juicy (a great new idea), it could be very small or rip roaringly loud. The point is that, regardless of what yours comes out like, it will clear your mind to focus on more pressing and urgent things.

I highly recommend letting one out right before bed, it’ll help you to sleep, though if married proceed with caution. And if your thinking of pulling a Covered Wagon, you’ll be sleeping with one eye open.

It’s time to resurrect the “Thoughts on War” topic and address the passage that began my turn to pacifism.
I’d read it before, but not until the days after 9/11 did it hit me with such a radical challenge.

But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.*

I was so challenged, and so struggled with what those words meant in our world and for us. I ran into the dilemma that no matter how I looked at it I couldn’t come to a conclusion that killing my enemy could be loving.

So, brother’s and sister’s in Christ who support war, please help me with some explanation of this.

• Amazing human abilities
  I’m always fascinated by these sorts of abilities. I would love to be able to just do a flip, let alone some of this stuff. It’s incredible the way these guys can move.
