Meticulously

Archie quickly tumbled a hand through all the crap in his locker, made contact with what felt like a notebook, and yanked. It was the wrong one so he threw it back amongst the rubbish and plunged in again. He knew needed to hurry; he didn’t want to be one of the last ones in the hall when the bell rang. Dropping his backpack, he shoved both hands back into the mess, churning the clutter clump, almost frantic in the search for his Science notebook. The warning bell rang and he increased his spin

How does the end begin?

I just saw the trailer for this and immediately plastered it over every social media network available to me. I am so freakin excited. I was literally just thinking about Simon Pegg the other day when I went to see Star Trek and hoping he and Nick were doing something together again. And it looks like Nick is playing the straight man in the movie while Simon's the bad boy. And not only Martin Freeman (as has been mentioned) but Paddy Considine as well, who I find rather attractive, although definitely prefer him with his mustache from Hot Fuzz. And, I don't see Bill Nighy anywhere in the trailer... And I'm done fangirling... for now... Not that Bill Nighy not being in the trailer or the movie is a good thing. Quite the opposite, really; it's rather sad.

I think the genre of gaming is wide enough that it could safely take browser games under its wing. I also think most browser games are Flash-based and thus different in their own right from video games. I usually make my decision about app games by how long I get to play before someone asks me for money. Games and apps that demand payment every 10 minutes before I can continue should, at the very least, not share a category with games that offer good gameplay with the option of enhancement. I think it’s ridiculous to throw money at rushed and underdeveloped games as well as ones that have issues with being "withholding". Not to mention, there’s very little more frustrating than playing a game for weeks only to get an update and suddenly you can’t make a move without coins/jewels/hearts/balloons/diamonds that cost 99 cents each but you can get a value pack of 10 for $15.99 (limited time only).

I feel like a dinosaur for saying this but I think that the saddest day in technology (for me) will be the day that we evolve beyond desktops. I am intrigued by every advancement we make and spend way too much money making sure I stay on top of the latest of... well, everything (like my Note 2 that I pretentiously take out of my pocket every few seconds so everyone can see!). But desktops will always hold a special place in my heart. From the first computer my mom brought home when I was 12 (that my baby brother stuffed full of pennies two days later) to my ASUS desktop I got in a trade for a laptop and have NEVER regretted. But, to wrap up my rant and answer the question, I can see where it makes sense for a company to throw all their energy into creating faster tablets. A few years ago, I worked for Dell and even then there was a noticeable market for laptops, netbooks and tablets. I can only imagine that's growing almost daily.

I realize I am new here but I just want to jump right in and say how much I enjoyed this article. I vaguely remember reading something about two-spirited people at some point in my past but I really fell into the depth of this. I grew up in the south and, having recently returned home, am starting to get the feeling that homophobia is bred into us down here. I fear my culture is creating a legacy quite different from that of the Native Americans. Here, we have “down low” guys; guys who have wives, girlfriends or children as well as “secret” Craigslist profiles. I know a young man whose only ambition in love is to find a married guy that won’t dump him and I can only think of maybe 2 others in my age group that are out and proud (or “in the life” as the ones in the closet call it). I honestly can’t imagine what it must be like to have your tribe/family/neighbors not only accept you fully for who you are but to celebrate it as well. I lucked out that my immediate family has no problem with my sexuality or my fiancé but even getting to that point took some time.
