I’m With David: Doom 3 Ain’t All That

I can't tell you how much I loved Doom. I've probably played all of the Doom games back-to-back all the way through a half a dozen times over the last decade.

Mensa Has an Open Enrollment Day

Mensa Has an Open Enrollment Day

“I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.” –Groucho Marx

I must fit into some kind of quota (Windows programmers? Authors? Norwegians? Big, Dopey, White Guys?) for Mensa to let me in…

And don’t forget to steal the new flair, Rory… : )
