Yes, all free. Just downloaded it and played it for a second. Looks really clean. Better the CoD1 for sure. And it runs on the mac.
Might have a new time waster to ween me off of the WoW.

Which is probably the smartest thing I have read in some time.

]]>All those analogies about the still / clear mind you read about in Zen have some merit I guess. It's interesting to see the difference between working for yourself and working for a corporation and how it effects you. When you strike out on your own you start living on adrenaline and fear. Adrenaline comes from landing the big jobs and figuring out how the hell you are gonna get it done. The Fear comes from always wondering where the next check will come from. But that whole nagging, "what am I doing with my life" feeling one gets working for someone else melts away under all that heat.
Now that I feel more comfortable with this whole lifestyle of working I am trying to shift it a bit to make more room for my creative spaces that I need in my head. Which includes writing this dumb navel gazing shit every now and again. LOL!
And it work time.

Now most people today have little or no skill. Why? This is an era of amateurism. The whole idea of skill is a concept from the distant past. There are no schools teaching basic functional skills. There is no general high standard in the arts to look up to that you could at least reach up for or be embarrassed by your lack of the general level of skill in professional art."

This holds true in photography. Don't get me started about the American Apparel" or "Terry Richardson" look. We call those people "Camera Owners", not Photographers.
Maybe what the world needs right now is some good old fashioned elitism?
]]>Why go out? Why do anything?
Blah.
]]>Nonetheless. The headline is this:
Bill Clinton did what almost none of us have done in five years.
He has spoken the truth about 9/11, and the current presidential administration.
"At least I tried," he said of his own efforts to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. "That’s the difference in me and some, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now. They had eight months to try; they did not try. I tried."
Thus in his supposed emeritus years has Mr. Clinton taken forceful and triumphant action for honesty, and for us; action as vital and as courageous as any of his presidency; action as startling and as liberating, as any, by any one, in these last five long years.
The Bush Administration did not try to get Osama bin Laden before 9/11.
The Bush Administration ignored all the evidence gathered by its predecessors.
The Bush Administration did not understand the Daily Briefing entitled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike in U.S."
