"The world has gone crazy, apparently... We didn't see it coming, otherwise we'd be very rich."

Games are changing. A lot. And the gaming industry is confused.

Nickelback sucks, universally accepted fact.

So much so that one Facebook user created the "Can this Pickle get more fans than Nickelback? fan page. I am a fan, as are 1.4 million other people. And yes, they succeeded in their fan-seeking quest. 

Someone (Chad Kroeger, lead singer of said band) seems to have taken notice. Hahaha...

In Sum:

1. Find a subject you care about

2. Do not ramble, though

3. Keep it simple

4. Have guts to cut

5. Sound like yourself

6. Say what you mean

7. Pity the readers

SILICON VALLEY -- The California High Speed Rail Authority is thinking about potentially abandoning the San Francisco-to-San Jose section of its proposed high speed rail line -- saying running 200-mile-per-hour bullet trains through the Peninsula might be politically impossible.

    The authority is instead floating a new idea, which would have the train line begin in San Jose, instead of San Francisco.

Are you kidding? Starting the rail in San Jose? A public works project that would improve lives for millions being stalled on nitpicky concerns by inconsequential bedroom communities? NIMBYism at its worst. I'm looking at you, Menlo Park, Atherton, and Palo Alto.

If we don't get this done, everybody in the SF Bay loses. And the blame will lie with you, Peninsula communities. (Especially when you look at particularly anti-HSR communities like Menlo Park and Atherton.) Get it together, people.

If you guys want to create world-class products, it’s probably going to be 10 years of learning and flailing and one year of getting it all right.
