I just picked up Civilizaton 4 a couple weeks ago. It's awesome, and has been sucking the spare cycles from my life (such as they are). Nick bought it, too, and has begun forwarding fun Civ4 articles to me, such as this: Winning a cultural victory with "always peace" on. Fun for a Civ geek.

Okay, this probably doesn't mean much to some of you, but I think it's huge: Steve Jobs advocates DRM-free music. I'm eager to see where this will lead.
