Don Mattrick comments on the Xbox One
…today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means
An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement & you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want & play your games, like on Xbox 360.
Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.
In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console — there will be no regional restrictions.

I knew it wasn’t going to hold up.

Should read, “We at Xbox love money. We really want people to buy our system”

Wanting to snuggle up in bed but knowing it will be heart-stoppingly cold under the covers is one of the worst parts of winter.

imagine data caring for you when you’re unable to care for yourself

imagine data being the constant in your life for seventy, eighty years

imagine data staying by your side because he is accustomed
to your sensory input and he would miss you if you were gone

imagine data knowing that one day he will miss you
and choosing to become accustomed to you anyway

imagine data.

Hazel Lee was one of the first Chinese American women to obtain a pilot’s license in America and the first to fly for the U.S. Military. Lee was a member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) and flew during World War II.
I love reading about female pilots from the early twentieth century. There were so many restrictions placed on women during that time. That women like Hazel Lee were flying through the air completely free - doing what the guys were doing- is completely inspiring.

She needs to be in a Doctor Who episode. 

From your keyboard to Moffat’s ear.

Also I didn’t tell you this yet but Keagan and I are going to sword fighting class tonight and I’m very excited.

Update: Sword fighting school was awesome and I made friends with a girl who likes Doctor Who and knowing how to kill people.

I need to move to Brisbane but moving sucks.

Later, after Trek was on the air, the producers used the network’s concerns about sexuality to their advantage — they would deliberately put sexy stuff into episodes for the network to freak out about, so the censors wouldn’t notice other things. For example, in the episode “A Private Little War,” the producers deliberately put in a scene of Kirk having an open-mouth kiss with a half-naked woman, so the network could throw a fit about that — and not notice the blatant Vietnam allegory.
