Reading the Old Testament

For the last year, David Plotz over on slate.com has been Blogging the Bible. He started reading the Old Testament and making a separate blog entry for (almost) each book. I thought that was a brilliant idea and thought I'd read along with him ... yeah, right. That didn't happen. Apparently he's finished his read and has made his last blog post.

Virtual Villagers

I've been playing a game called Virtual Villagers. You basically have to train these stranded villagers how to gather food, build huts, have babies, and learn new skills. They learn as they go and progress from Trainee to Master along the way. The game also keeps playing even when you have the game closed or your PC turned off. (I learned the hard way that you have to pause the game when you're away from the PC. All my villagers died!)

So that's how I'm spending my evenings. I keep an eye on the villagers while I work on other things.
