Interesting, I've read most of what he says there on this forum.  I would assume it was written here.  But tuna thing is new and the pix and stuff are cool...fine looking kids...

I'm not hip on blogs...no fourm?  

Hey Toasty why is your callsign green now?

Actually I kinda like your Political stuff also Erik. I may not agree, But it has to be good for you to have a place to share your thoughts with the world, or even write them out in order to Reflect on Policies.

Another thing I was very impressed with was the use of your book in a college course. that has got to be one huge source of pride for you Bro.

I'll send you an email later about a few things you might be interested in.

I introduced his book to a couple of professors when I was still in school. One of them agreed that it would make an interesting supplemental book. I have no idea if they ever used it.

That's pretty cool Waldo. I haven't had the chance to read his book yet, But It's must be good to be being used at a text book.

Toasty,

All of the words in the post are yours.

The reason it said it was edited, is because I changed your post title to inlcude erikbethke.com when I made it sticky as a service to the people who are reading the C&R forum, so as to not wonder what the thread is about and open it up and realize it is about my site when they didn't want to go there...

Ok...my mea culpa then. I didn't realize I was that kind on first blush (the self editor at work again I guess).

Sometime you and I are gonna have to chew the fat about the dichotomy of a site's obvious use of capitalism as a pathway to promote communism.

Again, sorry for zinging you about the edit.

Best,

No problem Toasty,

I personally think we do not tell most of the people around us every day how much we enjoy each other... that is my way of thanking you for your positive note and hoping that you don't feel awkward having been positive.

As for capitalism vs. communism, I am at the same times a very idealistic person as well as a very pragmatic person.  I am a strong business person as well.  And I can play poker well.  Not all those that believe in everyone getting a fair shake are necessarily namsy-pasmy push overs! ;-)

To sum up my political theory succinctly - socialistic base coating, plus a shiny metallic gloss coat of capitalism.

Any of the pure systems have already proven to be broken and evil-serving, so the arguement that I can entertainment engagement on both sides of the economic poles should be expected in a forward-looking arena.

Reading Erich Fromm is very thought provoking.

This is one Capitialist, Free-Market, Libertarian that would love a chance to play some Texas Hold'em with ya.

You play any poker (not for real money) online?

[Erik Bethke]

Actually I have at partypoker....

I have been on such a winning streak in my last sessions last fall I quit, it was csary good.

I was getting addicted to making more than $150 / hour at $3-6 hold 'em both live and online...

I sobered up and felt I should stick to games....

-Erik

[SL-Punisher]

150 an hour? That be lawyer wages...no wonder you had to quit

[Toasty0]

While doing some research on game development I ran across this little gem. http://www.erikbethke.com/  It is cool to see Erik promoting and blogging again.

I guess though what with Eriks busy schedule I egt the impression he hasn't had time to optimize the site yet. Anyone here wanna give him some constructive feedback?

For starters I would fix the upper-right-hand grahic-link so it sized properly and didn't read with the buttom half of the "B" blocked from view. I would also fix the code on one of the politics pages so that some of the html coding doen't display on the page.

Anyone else got some thoughts about the site? Desgn improvements, Navigation suggestions. Encountered problems? Anything?

I looked around his site a bit a couple days ago.  

[Erik Bethke]

hehe...

I haven't really told anybody about the place yet since it is sooo raw...

I am just cobbling it together as I go...

Added a new Charity section

[vsfedwards]

I would say the top navigation bar needs to be spaced out a bit more between each selection. Apart from that I had fun flicking through.

Weird those:

Are turdlings left over when I copy text out of Word and into Mozilla's editor.  FIXED

The B Comment?  Are you referring to the "B" link next to the news site?  It is supposed to be a link to a bMachine blogging script that I just trying to get to work.

I keep forgetting to try each and every page both in Explorer and Mozilla.

Thank you!

Since you seem to be following at least some of the infamous SCO vs IBM debacle (nitpick: Baystar not Baypoint on your webpage) you might find the Groklaw page interesting.  It includes a LOT of info on that topic.  

[Erik Bethke]

Whoops!  Thanks!  FIXED

[vsfedwards]

Just thought Id say that picture "Kyleinshadow" looks really cool, the lighting on it is awesome, good capture.

[Sirgod]

Yep I saw this the other day Erik. I got a kick out of the pics of  your new co-workers over there. One question though, The Gentlemen giving the Peace signs, does that mean the same thing over here in America orthat other thing in the UK?

[Erik Bethke]

Cool, now that you guys are checking it out I have been inspired to make a lot of updates and changes today!

I just went back and took a quickie look and all seems ok now.

Now maybe I should turn my attention to revamping and correctly my site.
