I learned an important lesson today. 
Skyrim Effects:
-10 Agility
+20 Intelligence
-30 Charisma  
+20 Endurance
-25 Health
+100 Stamina


After a day long session, I just had to get out of the house.  But the game looks so real that, in my brain, I thought I had been outside all day.  I'd climbed mountains, crossed streams and even rode a horse.

Berkely chooses Google over Microsoft

The University of California at Berkeley has chosen Google over Microsoft for its campus-wide email and calendar services, and it will tell you why — in great detail.

Google and Microsoft are locked in a battle for the hearts and minds of businesses, government agencies, and schools across the globe, each touting its own suite of business applications as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Sometimes, Google wins, and sometimes Microsoft. But Berkeley’s choice is worth noting because the university so carefully explained why it picked one over the other. Though both Google Apps and Microsoft Office 365 are billed as “cloud” services, they are very different things. Google is built to operate entirely on the web, while Microsoft’s suite still leans on local software.
