Desktop Tower Defense
PoeticIntensity
Hehe.... I was looking at this site yesterday while I was browsing around my new RSS feed stuff. I didn't get past game number 4.
I've never been one to spend a lot of time playing online flash-based games, but I have to admit, Desktop Tower Defense is pretty darned amazing. Amazingly addictive, I mean.

The Best Jones Halloween Yet!
PoeticIntensity
What do you get when you mix a couple of black lights, a fog machine, a strobe light, a dark hallway, and a couple of demented minds with Halloween? I'll tell ya what you get:
A whole lot of scared teen-agers. WOOOO HOOO!!!
With the debut happening just last year, there hasn't been a whole lot of time for refinement, but all things cons...

Laws vs. Common Decency
PoeticIntensity
I just got done following this story and it's got me thinking about some of the problems we have in today's society.
I'm not quite as empassioned about this as I thought I would be, but rather, I find myself thinking about the problems caused by people's thoughtless actions.
Is it wrong to voice your opinion about your disgust at the military...

No Extensions In Firefox?
PoeticIntensity
Okay... I'm getting like crazy frustrated here...
You know all those wonderful firefox extensions which allow web developers like me to work even faster and more efficiently? Well... They must all hate me.
