Looking for the The Google Font? It is Catull, but found out more about the Google logo by reading the Google Font Page
Fancy reading my Looking for the Spam collection ? It's even getting multilingual
Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux... want to try it ??? Knoppix is really nice. And easy. Download, burn, reboot. Et voila, Linux is running...
One of the most neglected topics within travel literature is definitely the homecoming. Plenty of people write about going places, about how you should pack your suitcase, about what you should know before you go. But what about coming home? What about the return, the regaining of the routine, the restoring of your everyday life?

Another interesting idea Rank introduced was the contest between life and death. He felt we have a life instinct that pushes us to become individuals, competent and independent, and a death instinct that pushes us to be part of a family, community, or humanity. We also feel a certain fear of these two. The fear of life is the fear of separation, loneliness, and alienation; the fear of death is the fear of getting lost in the whole, stagnating, being no-one.
On the whole, the enjoyment of leisure is something which decidedly costs less than the enjoyment of luxury. All it requires is an artistic termperament which is bent on seeking a perfectly useless afternoon spend in a perfectly useless manner.[...]For where there is love, there is jealously; a man who loves life intensely must be always jealous of the few exquisite moments of leisure that he has.
When computers came along, I started learning programming and realizing the computer was this great tool for making things, making models, dynamic models, and behaviors, not just static models. I think when I started doing games I really wanted to carry that to the next step, to the player, so that you give the player a tool so that they can create things.BAO (Bruce Artwick Org.) is part of MS and SSI is now part of UbiSoft.
For example, one six-year old player noted that people began moving into his city when there was electricity, because people wanted to have lights for seeing in the dark. This example illuminates how the process of interpreting game play, of drawing analogies between symbolic representations in the game and their real-life analogs is one of active interpretation, and suggests that students might benefit from systematic explanations or presentations of information.
Of course, I want my children to read and cherish the written word in books. I want them to make their tree houses and turn an old cardboard box into something magical in their imaginations. But I have seen the other side, the delight in their faces as they program their Lego robots to seek light, avoid obstacles, and twitter and chirp to one another.read also How children learn (chapter 4 of How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School (via e-learning Post))
But times have changed. Yushui abolished the permits several years ago and let women make their own decisions about birth control. It stopped setting birth quotas and sterilization targets for family planning workers, too. The only punishment now for having an extra child here is a fine, and even that is only occasionally collected in full.
One very common objection to the notion of time travel goes something like, "If time travel were possible, they'd be here already! We'd be overrun with tourists from the future!" However, almost all of the possible methods of time travel noted above have something in common; you can't go back any further than the construction of the first time machine. [...] A tachyon-based time machine might not have this problem. However, it's at least possible that lots of tachyon-based messages from the future are coming at us, but we haven't built any receivers yet that can detect them. [...] So the simple answer to this objection is that we haven't built any time machines or tachyon receivers yet. Once we do, we may be flooded with visitors and messages.
