The Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources
A few minutes ago I learned of a marvellous project to create the Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources (DMNES). This is under development, although a lot now exists, but a blog is available, and is itself a rather wonderful thing:

Speaking of Steam, for folks that engage with the community items, badges and trading cards, I wanted to ask, how many Steam Trading Cards do you think is the right amount for a game to have? I'd love to know your thoughts about it! 🎴

Microsoft and Motherboard manufacturers: Putting DRM chips on the motherboard.
User: Why?
Microsoft: No reason.
User: Most businesses would switch to a cheaper toilet paper to save $5, why are you shipping chips and developing software and technology to use these chips.
Microsoft: Oh we’re not going to force anyone to do anything, we just want the ability to. Look at this workaround that we expect 0.015 of our billions of Windows users to use.
That’s allright. I sometimes eat at McDonals, even though it’s shit. Most days I cook at home though.

If you buy print editions, which do you buy the most?
