At 12th and Republic in Over-the-Rhine, 3D type constructed of tile! How hot is this lettering? Also, I know that the Aronoffs are a prominent Cincinnati family, but does anyone know their connection to this building? Did their fortune start in this building? What was it originally?

Unforgiven War, a text-based military MMORPG has had over 100,000 registrations. It doesn't surprise me at all that the text space is still an intriguing one to gamers regardless of missing the graphics.
I haven't tried it personally, because I don't care for military games, but it's worth a look.
UnforgivenWar Beta Testing a Huge SuccessDecember 29th, 2008 (San Anslemo, CA) - Nvinium Games, Inc. announced today that its free to play text based browser game, Unforgivenwar, has received over 100,000 player registrations since the start of its Beta Testing Phase.

Nvinium Games, recently launched the Unforgivenwar game application to work on both the Facebook and MySpace Community Platforms.
The key to the success for Unforgivenwar lies not only in its depth of game play, but more importantly in the Community interaction with each other, as well as the real time support given by the Unforgivenwar Support Team.
“Unlike most text based games, our utilization of technology such as real time chat allows both members and guests to see activity in the community.
This interaction makes the game much more exciting than simple static forums,” said Matt Abrams, CEO of Nvinium Games.Text based games have seen a major increase in popularity over the past 12 months and have proven to be an important part of social networking communities. “Web based, community networking games are really the next major wave of the Web 2.0 Social System, and games such as Unforgivenwar.com are proving that through continued rapid growth,”

I think this is simply a great video. A fantastic walk down memory lane...
Merry Christmas from 1992, with this celebrity-filled "Twas The Night Before Christmas" video by Ch 5's Michael Collins. Enjoy glad tidings from Johnny Bench, Boomer Esiason, Uncle Al & Capt. Windy, Ted Gregory, Buddy from Buddy's Carpets, the Kwik Brothers, Dennis Barrie, Ickey Woods, Tony Sands, Lou Piniella, Si Leis, Joe Nuxhall, Leslie Isaiah Gaines, Robin Wood, etc. etc. Wasn't Michael Collins one of the most clever guys ever on TV here? I miss him.
I'm heading on vacation. Might blog a little, but I don't make any promises. Talk amongst yourselves.... and enjoy this delightful clip. If you want to see more classic Cincinnati TV video, click on the "CinciTVclassics" tag at the bottom. You'll get a list of old TV news clips, Bob Shreve, the Riverfront Stadium demolition, Bengals Super Bowl hype, and other cool stuff. Enjoy! Merry Christmas!

I was lucky enough to get a lesson in cheesemaking from Tristan and Libby, authors of the Whittled Down blog. A gallon of milk and a few other ingredients makes a pound of cheese, and you can go from milk to mozzarella in a couple of days. Check out their cheese-making posts here, and learn much more at at their highly-recommended favorite cheesiest of sites: Fankhauser's Cheese Page.
