Saint John Free Public Library Annual Book Sale was a blast. The stuff you can find and pick up for $.50 is amazing. This is also a first posting in a photo essay on literacy I wanted to do for some time now. Of course, there are others exploring the same theme…

Asia Times, a very interesting and highly recommended read, posted a beautiful image on their web site.

Deutsche Welle, another interesting news site, has a story on computer games fair in Leipzig

Bob Bates, a game writer from the United States who attended the developer's conference at the trade fair, said that German games are too complex. "You demand too much of the consumers. It takes too long until the player understands the game." Bates said that U.S. game players give a new game a probation period of five minutes at the most. "If they haven't understood the game by then and have not enjoyed themselves, then the game is not bought."
Hmmmm… I always thought that figuring the games out was part of the fun.

NOTE: The photo was taken in May 2004. That tells you how much film I still have to develop.
