How Bill Gate Made Microsoft

Not sure if you would like this or not.  The documentary is about 18 years old.  So it is a little out of date.  Much of the information is available in other places.  Nevertheless, I found it pretty interesting, but these kinds of things always interest me.

​P.S.  The  movie "Take Shelter" is on its way from Netflix.​  I'm looking forward to seeing this.

The Rise and Fall of Peter Molyneux

This 4 and 1/2 part video is over 3 hours long.  Still, I found it very fascinating.  I just kept watching one part after another.


​It just shows how difficult the game business is.​

​I think that Peter Molyneux's problem is that he tried to design games while he wrote them.  He seemed to start games without a clear idea where he was going.​

Solving Traffic

Got into some serious traffic problems in Greenwood today, including passing an accident that slowed traffic to a crawl.

There is a Diverging Diamond Interchange in Greenwood close to where I live.  I like it, and and I like Traffic Circles (roundabouts) because they are more efficient.


I saw Ramp Meters in Salt Lake City and Chicago, and I always hated them because they make you wait to get on the highway, but perhaps they help traffic.
