Dojo Info 8/4/09

1. Study: Texting while driving increases crash risk 23-fold
   I would have guessed 47-fold but in any event… it’s a very bad idea.
2. The top 10 songs the Web brought back
   Why any band wouldn’t want to be part of rhythm games is beyond me.
3. Hawaii coach takes voluntary pay cut
   So this coach, Greg McMackin, goes off and says a few things he probably shouldn’t have said and now… *bam* the world is against him. He takes a 30-day suspension, a loss of $169,000 and everyone is hating this guy because he used the word “faggot” three times while explaining why Notre Dame was so fired up to play his team. Should he have done this? Of course not. Does the punishment fit the crime? Not even close. The gay and lesbian community has the whole country scared to say anything remotely negative about them for fear of backlash and everything that goes along with that. So much for freedom of speech.
4. Left 4 Dead On A Crash Course To New DLC
   Can’t tell if this is worthwhile or not but wanted to share it with you.
5. Tokyo Drift Writer Signs On For Wheel Of Time Games
   The Wheel of Time fiction series started off great! Then got long… too long. Sometimes people get swayed by money and the story suffers. You think?
