What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Morning - Hope everyone's day or night is going well. Listening to NPR - wished I had heard a rumor yesterday. I would have bought some stock... Ah well. Guess if I had known that could have been 'insider trading'...
What kind of day should be rated as number of cups of coffee.... I"m on my second already.
-
@dominica is making the morning smoothies.
-
Just got to my first cup of coffee, too.
-
On my third coffee here. Going to be a busy.... or look, is that a squirrel?
-
Mt. Dew for the win. I miss coffee but Throwback MT. Dew is a close enough replacement.

Back to the Future III tonight. Had to re-watch the trilogy again this week of course.

You guys should play the game, it is pretty good. Liesl says that she is not sure if she likes the movie more or the game.

I think that we might be in need of some more rain here, the water supply is at a trickle.

I'm amazed at how many people don't read the responses to posts on SW and just post things after a problem has been solved.

Last night I think Canada went a little over board - would have liked a Liberal minority better. However, Harper is gone & we are all thankful.

Why would they spend time reading responses when there are points to be made and they can be made fastest by posting without reading? And if you post an answer that already exists you easily have a 5 - 10% chance of getting the best answer points anyway.
Since the game there is points, not the conversation, you get behaviour based around the points rather than around the conversation. Gamification cannot be easily discounted. Even people who are not aware of why they are doing stuff are often making points-based or badge-based behaviour decisions subconsciously.

I never thought of it that way. Must be why I hardly have any points ha.

And... the water has stopped!

Is it just me or has the post quality on SW fallen off a cliff?
I don't often see any threads with huge numbers of helpful replies either.

LOOK AT THIS GARBAGE!
How is this the product of a remotely serious company.
It'll take me as long to remove all the goop as it would have to do a clean install. I am sad panda.

Got the four year old playing Minecraft on a laptop now. She has been upgraded from the iPad.
