WIL WHEATON dot TUMBLR: An open apology to the Pinterest team
WIL WHEATON dot TUMBLR: An open apology to the Pinterest team
Judging by some of the links to pop up on my Internet the past hour or so, this fake Mitt Romney thing is starting to be about Pinterest changing the name of my parody account, and not about the fact that the leading candidate for the Republican nomination for President asked…
When our parents sent a letter in the mail, nobody was allowed to open it to check if it contained a copied poem, which would infringe on the copyright monopoly. When our parents sent a letter in the mail, they and they alone determined if they identified themselves as sender on the outside of the envelope, inside the envelope, or not at all.

You guys. This is an unbelievable thing.
Overnight, through Kickstarter, the fans of Double Fine Productions have exceeded the goal for funding the next amazing game. I cannot believe how wonderful the fans have been to Double Fine through the years. It makes tears happen on my face. I am proud to have been a part of the Double Fine family all these years.
This particular project is rules, you guys. Because it is getting back to the adventure game roots! But also, it involves YOU the COMMUNITY! Watch the video for it to see what i mean. Backers are involved in the process and the documentary they are making along the way will shed light on the awesome process that goes into making a game. Oh, man, this is going to be the best.
so anyway, the higher it goes over the goal means the more platforms it will be for and the better the game will be. So you can still be a part of it, if you want.
this will seriously rule, you guys. damn.
love, scott c.

I’ve referred a number of times to a survey that the Global Strategy Group did for us last year about the public’s perception of the role of money in politics. Seventy-five percent affirm that “campaign contributions buy results in Congress.” Here are the highlights of that survey. Here are the crosstabs.

Susan G. Komen Foundation Also Stops Funding Embryonic Stem Cell Research
In addition to pulling funds from Planned Parenthood for The Susan G. Komen Foundation also decided to stop funding embryonic stem cell research centers making it fully transparent the organization has evolved from non-political non-profit to a partisan advocacy organization.
That means the loss of $3.75 million to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, $4.5 million to the University of Kansas Medical Center, $1 million to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, $1 million to the Society for Women’s Health Research, and $600,000 to Yale University. That’s a loss of nearly $12 million dollars in research money to eradicate breast cancer this year alone.
