While I’m hardly a hardcore computer gamer, I do enjoy a board game once in a while. Most board games have their disadvantages though: they take too long to setup, too long to clean up, and have lots of pieces to lose. This is especially true of a popular military turn based strategy [...]

When we think of the definitive program for maps of the Earth (and our Moon), any self respecting internet junkie would come up with Google Earth. By piecing together satellite and aerial based images, a piecemeal map of the world is developed. Sure, it’s a download, but for the amazing price of free, [...]
