Things are a little slow today and I was tired of not having some type of plug-in for looking up the definition of words while reading so I decided to cook up my own real quick.

Give it a shot:

PS: You might have to install a beta version of chrome first.

It’s pretty basic, you just select some text in the browser and a little book icon shows up in the address bar. If you click it, it will open a new tab for you at dictionary.com with the selected text already searched for. Nice and simple.

While it didn’t take long to do it, I have to admit doing the whole thing in javascript was a less than savory experience. I think I’m spoiled by my static languages.

Here are some pictures of me from the recent zombie pub crawl:

This was before the application of blood but you can see the dangling severed arm complete with protruding bones.

Here we are on the bus on the way towards the crawl. Brittney has a golf ball stuck in her chest, it looks a little infected as well. By the time we got to the crawl this bus was totally full of zombies. The regular passengers were freaking out a little.

Good times.

I just got an email response from Jay at Rio Grande Games to my query regarding the availability of the planned reprint of the Puerto Rico expansion. Here is his answer:

It will be included in the Treasure Chest scheduled for November. Jay

So that’s right Puerto Rico fans! Get your wallets ready for the expansion coming out in November. I haven’t played with it yet but I have been looking at it online and it looks really cool.
