Dearest reader, you might have heard about the Motor Traders’ Association in NSW proposing an old-car buyback scheme to the Australian Federal Government.

195. Games over school. 28 January, 2009 — Normal Blog Stuff.

Once again finding myself on Wikipedia, about twenty tabs open on subjects ranging from high/low pressure to 76mm shells to the reunification of Berlin, it occurs to me that video games, combined with my own steam, have taught me more over less time than school did.
