Dear Santa, thank you for the dolls and pencils and the fish. It's Easter now, so I hope I didn't wake you but... honest, it is an emergency. There's a crack in my wall. Aunt Sharon says it's just an ordinary crack, but I know its not cause at night there's voices so... please please can you send someone to fix it? Or a policeman, or...
Back in a moment.
Thank you Santa.

Productivity Threatened

Picked up my copy of Final Fantasy XII today.*

I have sworn to finish the file management module before I unwrap it.

Nnnnngh.

* It was released here in Oz yesterday - four months after its US release, and nearly a year after its release in Japan.

That's the one thing I really don't like about the console game market. PC games reach Australia either at the same time as the US release, or at worst within a couple of days. Console games can take six months or more. This is extra annoying with the Xbox 360, which is HD and therefore not limited by regional video standards - so Microsoft made their own, entirely arbitrary, regional fuckupification.

The Future Is Last Week

A selection of headlines:

The brain scanner that can read people's intentions
Mice cured of autism
Wizardry at Harvard: Physicists move light
Quantum computer to debut next week
Engine on a chip - the dream of the personal turbine
Ocean planets on the brink of detection

Still no flying cars.
