I then peruse the tabs, closing them after I read the stories or if they are too disinteresting.<\/p>\n<p>I leave the interesting tabs open so that I can blog about them. This usually works out pretty well, with just a few tabs to choose something to blog about. However the tabs have been piling up, so I decided to just post a whole bunch of links. Here goes!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/2\/hi\/asia-pacific\/7927461.stm\">The BBC has a story on New Zealand&#8217;s sex industry after 6 years of decriminalisation<\/a>. Looks overall positive, but a social stigma remains.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nekogames.jp\/mt\/2008\/01\/cursor10.html\">Cursor*10<\/a> is an neat flash game by Yoshio Ishii of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nekogames.com\/\">nekogames<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nekogames.jp\/\">japanese nekogames<\/a>) fame. There&#8217;s also a sequel.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vuntz.net\/journal\/post\/2009\/03\/19\/GNOME-git\">The GNOME project is migrating to git (from SVN)<\/a>. Not a surprise, but it&#8217;s interesting to read their VCS comparisons and migration plan.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.sky.com\/skynews\/Home\/World-News\/Israeli-Army-T-Shirts-Mock-Killing-Palestinian-Women-And-Children-During-Gaza-Offensive\/Article\/200903315245946?lpos=World_News_Carousel_Region_2&#038;lid=ARTICLE_15245946_Israeli_Army_T-Shirts_Mock_Killing_Palestinian_Women_And_Children_During_Gaza_Offensive\">Sky news is reporting on disturbing t-shirts made by Israeli soldiers<\/a>. I don&#8217;t understand how things like this can be dismissed so readily.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asus.com\/Product.aspx?P_ID=XPEvtodKRTfnQbCm\">ASUS EeeTop with touch screen<\/a> looks neat. A cheap alternative to an all-in-one <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/imac\/\">iMac<\/a>.

Aside from his games, I&#8217;m particularly interested in his motion graphics work which he clearly labels:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This is not a game. In addition, not interactive.
