A really interesting interview with writer John Irving.

From Hope To Reality

The next president of the United States. Hell yes.

There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;

Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.

- William Shakespeare (Julius Caesar)

Fallout is one of my all time favorite gaming series. The third installment just hit shelves, contained in a stylish metal lunch box complete with "Vault Boy" bobble head. Yes, I am a geek.
