║ I wish my mouse-cursor would spin when I spun the mouse. In the span of a │
║ spin, a spun mouse would spin a full revolution or so before getting caught up │
║ in the wire. │
║ │
║ Maybe... to avoid that, the wire could be attached to a circular ring along │
║ the bottom of the mouse, below where it was held, and as the mouse was spun it │
║ would rotate to point the cable toward the back of the desk? Doesn't even have │
║ to be motorized, could just do it based on tension... │
║ │
║ I think, hardware wise, all you'd need for the 1st implementation would be a │
║ second laser on the bottom of the mouse - positioned with one near the point, │
║ and the other near the palm, to give it the greatest differential to measure. │
║ │
║ for the 2nd implementation you'd need the ring system mentioned earlier, which │
║ would require a connection to the non-mechanical components of the mouse (the │
║ laser and it's little processor) and I'm not sure how that would work with a │
║ movable connection point. │
║ │
║ Also... how do you prevent it from getting gummed up with food and junk?? │

How I'm going to feed the 36 people who are coming to this social event

for, but am not quite sure how to cook everything in a way that is delicious

War is hell - each casualty bids farewell to a wholely unique treasure from
this world - war is hell - there is nothing that cannot be resolved with
words. And yet we fight, and yet we pillage. War is hell, and those who demand
it must do so only to resist evil, elemental evil, the kind that wars on the
innocent and pillages the bounteous. War is hell. Fucking kill the ones who
make it.

║ i like to design games. my darling is a game based on Majesty (2000) the │
║ Fantasy Kingdom Sim. you can think of it like a management strategy game where │
║ you control the knobs and levers that a fantasy monarch might have - │
║ allocating funds, placing quest bounties, hiring heroes, and organizing the │
║ peasantry. the important part is that your units are not controllable - they │

║ unrelated, but I think we should design games as APIs that a user's preferred │

║ cross-platform compatibility and would allow people to customize parts of the │
║ game to their desires. │
║ │

║ (perhaps through an API) that it hadn't been trained on, I think you would │

Dear Anakin, for as long as you've known him, Obiwan learned just as much from
you as you did from him. His title as "master" was a formality - he didn't get
it because he was better than you, and "padawan" does not mean you are lesser.
There is no hierarchy. He was learning to teach at the same speed that you
learnt to learn. You built each other up, an unstoppable force for good in the
galaxy.
But then an evil wizard stole your heart and twisted your mind. Have no fear,
fear is the path to the dark side. Your mother knows this well, for it is a
common lesson among all people as they age. Fear not, hate not, and feel fury
more than rage. You can bring the universe into a bright golden age, never
forget your purpose and your [potential / duty]
