"Passive aggression is no substitute for the real thing." Unless you're married, then it is the real thing.

Last but not Least If you can track then you're one up on those who can't Don't charge into enemy territory when you can sneak up on it Wait until they turn away, then prove what ya know Well organized is well-disciplined Risk is it's own reward - when you do it right If...

Other Lessons Learned A good observation is what everyone else has so far overlooked Being reckless doesn't make ya heroic, but timidity sure don't either Courage is not a word, it's a mind-set Adventure is the Enterprise of Hazard Enterprises are dangerous - that's just the way...

When I was a teenager, over 35 years ago, I created a world in which the nation of Pesh (yeah, I lifted the name Pesh, it being a sort of United States of America of Elfdom) had been annihilated in a meteor shower by various Demons bent on destroying that country and it's people. The...

I don't much care for TV, generally speaking. I watch educational shows and a few others by recording them on my DVR and then watch them on the weekends if I'm not doing something more important. I also watch the news, but have to for work and business. Right now I'm recording Daniel Boone (me...

Well, I'm not meaning to that I know of, but I keep going there for some reason. But I'm also beginning to wonder if it might not be related to my unusual work and sleep schedules in some way. It's just a theory, but I wonder.

Ari, can you tell me a little bit about, Thief's Covenant? I've gotten to where I like young adult books a lot. I'd probably choose the D&D Campaign at this point but, but if I knew more about the book I might choose it. I like the Renaissance era (a lot), and Widdershins has become one of...

PETER GABRIEL AND "TIME WILL COME" - This week I've been following my intermittent/staggered sleep schedule. Meaning I work late at night, sometimes all night and instead take small naps during the day. This afternoon I took a one hour nap and had a most peculiar but superb dream. I had...

Well, crap. Maybe their intention is to eliminate all interesting programming from the channel. By the way I'm gonna miss it because it often had some of the best looking women on TV.

Great idea Janx! It shouldn't just be the top leaders in a company that use this practice, but everyone. You'd just rotate the days particular employees use for their own projects. Personally I'd also allow employees to develop "stakes" in their own projects, such as percentage compensation and...

The Venus Project It's a nice idea but it won't work. Umbran said it best. People are interested in building and shaping the world for themselves, not living in a world others have designed for them. Which is why I think that future cites will not only have real physical spaces, but also...

A good point. In the game I play both the sophistication of the equipment and the skill of the operator determine how well various actions work.

I would suggest then developing your own system based on how your vessels move and operate and function. You know one thing that occurs to me is this. When I started using active probing to determine what enemy ships were doing, and later when I gave similarly designed systems to enemy...

I've been receiving a lot of business coaching lately. One of the suggestions I've received is "work your butt off and without allowing any interruption for 4 days a week and 1 day a week spend away from the office and instead go out. Wander around, look at things, visit other businesses, and...

Nothing. He'd have to try and take it, like everybody else. I think that like others have mentioned - exceptional disguise ability. Coupled with that would be covert interrogation. A ninja disguises himself as someone else and while engaged in conversation has the ability to question the target...

I don't know exactly what you're shooting for GW but in Star Fleet Battles, both the tabletop game and the computer game, I have become quite good at using sensors to tell all kinds of things about enemy vessels, such as; how far along are weapons charged, what is shield strength, are they...

Sorry it took me so long to get back on this. Between my business, and writing (fiction) and my inventing, and some other things, my free time is limited. So I don't always get back to everything immediately. I'll try to answer your questions as best I can. The books...

That sounds interesting. I much prefer weird in my sorcery to explosive fireballs. And I used to like Moorcock stories a lot, but haven't read any in a long time.

Made me laugh.
