WHAT IS THIS CRAP?

I knew that the 100 Word Stories Christmas Show would bring an avalanche of stories, and sure enough, there were over 40 of them in the inbox when all was said and done.

Jeff Hites of Great Hites/Flying Island Press rounded up a bunch of his crew, and there were a few SL-ers coming into the mix, too.

I got things prepped for the show last night, saved the project, and then reached into the hoppers for the last minute stragglers this morning...

100 Word Stories Weekly Challenge #296

This week's 100 Word Stories Weekly Challenge offers up a whole bunch of Christmas stories from SL's Tura Brezoianu, Whiskey Day, Solomon Sixpence, Botgirl Questi, NorvalJoe Parkin, Danny Dwyer, Uriel Wheeler (and son), IshtarAngel Micheline, and Crap Mariner... among others.

You can listen via the website: http://podcasting.isfullofcrap.com/

And feel free to try your hand at 100 word storywriting with Challenge #297: "Return."

Thanks,

Thanks to everyone who was a part of the Weekly Challenge in 2011, whether you listened, wrote, recorded, linked, commented, or used it as a springboard to head off to other writing projects.

And speaking of writing projects, if you've got a group out there who writes in SL, let me know so I can put up something about them in the Reading Room... and if you don't mind, I can send you something about the Weekly Challenge to get folks fired up about it.

Oh, and...

See you in 2012?

The NBA is back.

Better get your new HDTV hooked up so you can watch a bunch of spoiled drug-abusing, hoochie-mama screwing, fake-diploma-holding 1%-er assholes go back to work for a bunch of richer Corporate Welfare 1%-ers.

Or better yet... don't bother plugging it into the video and audio jacks of your cable box, and just hook it up to your computer as a really kick-ass monitor.

Let 'em bicker and fight and lock themselves out and strike all they want... you can catch it on the highlight reels when you're not watching LOLCats on Youtube.

So, who out there got a new system for Christmas that doesn't run Second Life well?

It's almost 2012... this shit should be working, and yet people think a cheesy low-power high-footprint game engine is going to take off?

This is loonier than M's crusade for making this unstable platform a business tool.

Yes, AI and pathfinding will be neat and cool and such, but until the fundamentals are rock-solid, this shit ain't gonna take off.

It's like trying to improve the meals on an airline while the wings keep falling off of the planes.

So, who's to blame for all this madness?

Santa, of course!

Get me my baseball bat...

I'll do the lighting of the menorah around 4:45PM-ish SLT again tonight.

I'm surprised that thing hasn't exploded yet.

Predictions?
End-of-year wrapups?

Bah. Just more noise.

Instead of making others (and yourself) crazy, make something cool. Do something fun. Challenge yourself.

And let people who make cool stuff know that you appreciate what they do.

Okay, enough of that... time to rez all my loot and brag about it! Woohoo!

If you got less than me, you're just not as loved.

And if you got more than me, your friends list is too long, you whore.
