But for 2000-2002, my old Handspring is in a box somewhere, and if i can find a charger, maybe it can tell me what i did those years, but otherwise, all i have is random memories. I love my iphone, it does make a better, more efficient person, but i miss having a tactile past. totally agree, i used to keep a planner, then moleskine calendars, and it’s a real treat every couple of years to come across them and to be able to go through those old notebooks from 1994-1999, with taped-in movie and concert tickets, notes and thoughts in the margins i could never have remembered, which reconnect me with who that person was.

'Tightrope' is my pick for track of the year. Ms. Monae is an artist securely in control of the groove. Also, I am LOVING Caribou's album. Wow. Not to mention the Arcade Fire's 3rd consecutive essential release. Been digging on Cee Lo and Gorillaz as well. Most recently, I am loving Joanna Newsom and I feel like I am contractually obliged to love MGMT (loved Oracular Spectacular!). Also: LFO's "Summer Girls" is a FUCKING TERRIBLE song, and you should be ashamed to implicate Nova Scotia or your early 90s Tercel in this egregious lapse of taste, which MUST lie squarely on your shoulders, DJ. Chalk it up to a "secret shame" or whatever, just don't bring the Maritimes into the debate. Happy New Year's buddy.

Looks like they're borrowing from Settlers (maybe a bit) with the hex tiles. I played Rome: Total War for the first time on the weekend (it was $3 on Steam) and it was a lot like Civ, but not as good (except that the battles were super cool). If Civ 5 has better battles (like Rome) it could be close to perfection. Plus, as long as I can continue to bring Christianity to all the heathens, I'll be happy. Oh that’s awesome.
