Wet Christmas

They have mounted speakers on the side of downtown Norfolk buildings for the holidays. Christmas carols don't sound quite right when it's 60 degrees and raining outside.

I hate that I'm not buying software anymore, but a software license. Half-Life 1 was fun, but I don't like the idea of playing Half-Life 2 enough to go online and beg for the publisher's permission every single time I want to play it. That's an irony, too, because a Mac version of HL2 has a much better chance of seeing daylight than the Mac HL1 did. I'd almost certainly have bought it.

DHTML Lemmings on the web. One more way to kill a few minutes anywhere there's an Internet connection.

Ever type up a really long rant for LiveJournal, then realize that typing it's gotten it out of your system and it's just not that important that the rest of the world see it? :)

Yes, steam has a startup mode called 'Offline Mode'. You just run that and you don't have to communicate with Steam. Once the files are unlocked you can play without talking to the main servers.

One of the other points is that this allows you to install it on multiple computers. It's owned by YOU not a particular computer or CD-key. You can only play online in one instance, but you could have someone playing SP and one person playing online in a household with one 'key' so to speak.
