Welcome to the 100th post of The Archymedius Contingency! That's right, we've reached 100. I say "we" because I didn't do this all on my own, and I don't plan to forever. So what can you expect now that 100 has been reached?

The Creation
Imagination. Without it, pretty much any form of entertainment you hold dear would disappear, or rather never be brought into existence in the first place. Think about it: Star Wars, Stargate, Zelda, Mario, Lord of the Rings, [zombies], you get the idea. How does it work? Your guess is as good as mine.

The Anniversary (The Legend of Zelda)
25 years ago today, Link first graced Nintendo consoles in The Legend of Zelda. Since then, his struggles to save the nearly always in danger princess of Hyrule have brought excitement and joy to many a Nintendo fan. So what is Nintendo doing to celebrate the half-century birthday for one of the greatest franchises it has given rise to?
The Stream
When Hulu was launched in 2007, it was a streamed kick to the shins to the cable industry. Many network websites had been offering streaming versions of their television shows, but Hulu would combine all of those together, and offer shows from ABC, Fox, and NBC, with ads for free. Dominating the internet with legal streaming of television programs for free, Hulu stood to even make a dent in YouTube and Netflix. Now, almost four years later, Hulu may be screwed.
The Monday (2.21.11)
Monday, Monday. Here comes another Tom Sawyer Monday. The classic rock station will be experiencing a commercial break this week, so here's a bit of wisdom for you from RWE.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the simplest terms, and most convenient definition, be yourself. I think that's always good advice. Don't let your job change you, don't let the world change you. But if you're not happy being yourself, that's when you should change you. I know, a little heavy for Monday morning, but it's something to think about. Now...
Get your week on.
