12/10/03 - This week's EVE Vault discussion is about publishing and
EVE's future.

If you haven't already heard, Penny Arcade is running a toy drive
for a children's hospital. If you want to fight against the
vilification of games I strongly suggest you help their charity. I
bought for the hospitol a copy of Crazy Taxi which I hope will give
a hospitolized child hours of enjoyment and escape from their
situation.

I have updated my iTunes Playlist again. I went on a buying spree,
yikes I spent like $80 on online music. One click shopping is the
devil! I haven't even played all the songs yet! I'm listening to the
Nirvana songs at the moment. I also updated the page to show the
music genre, which may be helpful since some of the music I listen
to is unusual.

I don't understand why many New Englanders don't know or forget how
to drive in the snow. A 30 minute drive to work yesterday took me
over two hours because of the traffic, yet the roads were perfectly
clear of ice, snow, slush, and black ice. Plus the city of Pawtucket
RI has decided to drive plows through our road too high to plow but
at the perfect height to tople the snow banks into the road. These
trucks then go to a nearby factory and do an excellent job there. I
guess they know where the money is, too bad they forgot where the
votes are! This has caused multiple people to get stuck, one of
which I helped push and another which borrowed a shovel from my
wife. My wife called the city when I was at work and the attitude-
ridden woman she spoke to said they would send a plow to actually
plow. No plow ever came though. I hope that woman realizes that when
mayor James Doyle (which is probably her uncle) fails to get re-
elected she'll be getting the boot. Well good riddance!
