Team Fortress 2, what a game... I combine 2 spare sandviches I had and I get scrap metal.
However, for being a war-themed hat trading simulator and auction house, I have a distinct lack of tradable hats. I suppose one needs time to work his way up to the hat tier.

«Derpcraft Google Map»
Now we've got a Google Maps style 3D map of the multiplayer Minecraft server I play on. It's riddled with errors, but still pretty cool. Check it.
Sorry, it's a private server. I can't give you the IP. It's by invite only.

«Motivational Monday: TF2 Medics»
So after playing Team Fortress 2 for a bit, I've centered on the Medic as my favorite class to play. Pyro and Demoman are fun too. However, I feel that I'm helping the team the most when I play Medic.
That's the Medic in the long coat, making the Heavy invincible.

«Cursive»
One of the most useless skills I was taught in school. I don't even remember how to write much more than my name in cursive anymore.
Another useless skill I was taught in school is doing math by hand and "showing my work". I've always got a calculator with me now (my phone). I've even got WolframAlpha for the more complicated problems. I really wish I had been taught more equations and how to use them, rather than how to complete them by hand. Let computers do what they do best. They are much quicker and far more accurate than any human could ever be.
It's not like you'd ever have a job that requires you to complete math by hand anymore... Other than being a math teacher and teaching an obsolete skill. You don't need to know how to build a car to drive one.

No, the video has nothing to do with a green guy.

At least the billboard was a step up from saying "There's probably no God, so be good for goodness' sake."

Last night's full lunar eclipse. It's red due to the light refracting through the Earth's atmosphere.

«Motivational Monday: Heavy Riding a Shark»
So for some reason I've started playing Team Fortress 2. I've had it since the Orange Box came out back in 2007, just never played it. It's a war-themed hat trading simulator and auction house.

«Don't "Don't ask, Don't Tell"»
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Repealed
Embedding has been disabled for the video, so you'll have to follow the link. It's just a quick news report that the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy has finally been repealed. It's a victory for gay rights.
There goes my escape strategy if they should ever enact a draft...

«Derpcraft Development»
Time to post an updated map of the multiplayer Minecraft server I've been playing on. The overall map has grown to such a degree that it's ridiculous to post the full map like I did last time.
Here's the main part of the developed area. Most everything else outside this area has been explored, but not settled.

«Snow Globe»
Behold, the Minecraft Snow Globe!
I built that on the multiplayer server I've been playing on. The glass sphere has a diameter of 50 blocks, each block is equivalent to 1 cubic meter. I have plans to build a giant pumpkin inside the globe. Those grey blocks suspended inside the globe mark the corners of the planned pumpkin. Yes, it will be a cubic pumpkin of gargantuan proportions... If I can find enough smaller pumpkins to build it out of.

«Derpcraft Map»
Here's a map of the multiplayer map I'm playing on in Minecraft. The full size image is quite large. My avatar in-game is Indiana Jones. In the true explorative spirit of Indiana Jones, I've been about everywhere on this map.
This map was generated the morning of December 11th, so it's already out of date. There's been significant construction and exploration since then.

«Multiplayer Minecraft»
As if I wasn't getting enough Minecraft, I've joined a multiplayer Minecraft community. I've set up a home in a desert on the server, kind of out away from most people. But hey, I'm not the sole inhabitant of the world! It's quite interesting to explore what other people are making, and to watch just how quickly the area develops. It's also fun to help people and work together on something.
I've still got my single player game going, still working on my dome. That's coming alone nicely. I'm not going to build anything on that scale in multiplayer.

«Julian Assange»
Here's to the man with the biggest balls in the world: Julian Assange. You know the guy's got balls when Ron Paul supports him.
Julian Assange is of course the founder of Wikileaks. Unless you've made an effort to avoid the news completely, you've been hearing a lot about Wikileaks lately.In a free society we're supposed to know the truth,... ...In a society where truth becomes treason, then we're in big trouble. And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it.
- Ron Paul
I fully support Wikileaks in publishing the diplomatic cables. That sort of thing should be public information anyway. There is very little that a government should withhold from its own people. Strategic troop locations come to mind as one thing that has a legitimate reason to be classified. Remember, the US government is of the people, by the people, for the people.

«Salvation Army is a Hate Group?»
I never realized the Salvation Army was so against homosexuality. It seems silly for a charity organization to take a stance on this issue at all.
Boycott The Salvation Army
As if those bell ringers weren't bad enough. They also oppose pornography in all forms. Makes me not feel so good about those pots and pans we bought when I first moved to Boise Idaho.
Here's a Facebook page you can "Like" if you want to Boycott the Salvation Army.
