I think just Microsoft Office. Though I could be wrong. But it should work with older copies of Office too. I think.

Yep. Alcatraz came between MB 2 & 3, and AoL is separate from the other two trilogies that may someday be written. Though AoL may have a sequel, I think Sanderson said it didn't need it.

Which would end in: Someone freeing him (him joining another team) Him escaping (slinking off) Him joining Kaladin & Dalinar (joining team Kalinar)

Or maybe the Honorspren is bound inside of the rock, like a fabrial. Or his blade. He says in the prologue that "my blade is cursed enough". (For information of fabrials, look here.)

Or install Google Cloud Connect to Word. It'll automatically put a copy of whatever you save online (although you won't be able to edit it on Google Docs. But you can download it). I've found it a hassle-free way to keep a backup copy of my documents. I don't ever have to worry about it, and if I accidently delete something, it's still online!

I think that the Dalinar/Szeth (or the highly suspected Kaladin/Szeth) fight has to end in not-a-death. Which means 1. Szeth won't attack. He decides not to do it. Whether to not kill, or not even make an attack, he sees the honor that these two have and doesn't take the final blow. He breaks his vow as a Truthless. OR 2. Kaladin wins (unlikley but possible), but doesn't take the final blow, because he's tired of killing. OR 3. Szeth can't attack. He looses his powers, whether through the little rock his owner has, or by loosing his cursed Shardblade, or something else. OR 4. Someone orders Szeth not to attack. Someone get control of Szeth's rock, and commands him to not attack. This could be the King, changing his mind, or it could be a change in power. So pretty much, with any of these, one of three things happens. One, Szeth crawls (or scurries) away in exile, whether in fear or embarassment, or as self-punishment. He may slink back to the King, but I don't think so. Two, Szeth joins Team Dalinar/Kaladin and the Fight for Justice! Three, Szeth joins a new team (only if someone new gets his rock)

about the kind

But that did

Ah. That makes more sense.

Ooh! I sew buttons on my shirt when they fall off. Does that count?

I am currently reading The Fountainhead, and I am entranced. To say the least. *sigh* This is why I rarely read books. I become addicted to them and rarely do anything useful till I've finished them. And I have an AP test in the morning. *sigh*

I would like to announce that Osama bin Laden is dead, and his body is in US hands. Obama to speak soon with more details.

I don't think so. Brandon, who understands more than Sazed does, has stated many time about the Three Realms. Not the four.

Ooh. I like. EDIT- Is there a certain sign for each article? Or is it random?

Is it just me, or are you not able to access Brandon's website? I keep getting a 403 "forbidden" message.

So Chaos, on the issue of Breath, your stance is "only Nalthis people have it, but other planets may have it similar"? I guess I can stand by that. I think that souls are extremely powerful. Each intelligence (and human) has something special and unique about them. This uniqueness and this intelligence (which apparently, according to HoA, stays with us after death) is our soul. Breath is a piece of this soul, specifically, the part that holds the lifesense, perception for color, and perception for music, etc. When you have more of it, it allows you to strengthen your body (immunity) and your perceptions (color, sounds). So I think that in order to have humans (as we know them), they must be intelligent. If they are intelligent, they must have a Breath. Therefore, everyone has a Breath. Now, I do think that Endowment does make it (either directly or indirectly) possible to give that Breath away, which is unique to Nalthis. But I think that intelligence (that seems to be granted by Shards or possibly Adonalsium) innately holds a Breath. So maybe you're right. The Breath could be of Endowment. But I think that the people on Scadrial have one too, of Preservation. They just can't use it. Ooh. Except maybe... instead of allomancy genes, they have breath genes. Except that doesn't work. The ordinary people of Nalthis are comparable to Scadrial. Although maybe instead of allomancy genes, it is the ability to give away breath genes. That work. Also, on your Vo theory: I love it when you read my mind. I've thought the same for a while, but I've just never written about it. I mean, it makes sense. You have no awakeners, you come to the forest, Vo returns and suddenly, people start learning about awakening. Ooh! That gives me an idea. What if, the reason why Endowment couldn't help them before is because there wasn't enough color? I mean, Hallendren is not only the awakening capital of the world- it's also the dye capital of the world. Perhaps there is something special about the tears of Edgli.

And he Endows that will upon others. I mean look at what happens to anyone who touches him (well except for a few). His mind is very contagious.

That hasn't happened yet, but it will by AoL. That's where we get Twinborns from.

If I remember right, it is the idea that being handicapped is a blessing, because the best thing for the virus is if the host survives. So, a common cold would grant you the ability to run really fast. Pneumonia would let you fly. However, the most powerful magic people (and the most consistent) are those who are handicapped. So blind people, for example. They have awesome super powers. I think. But maybe it was just an Idea of the Day Brandon posted in his blog forever ago. We also know that the Silence Divine is a planet visible in the skies of Roshar, and it's in the same galaxy.

Ah. That makes sense.

Wait- you reduce your odds from 1:200 to 1:1365? Isn't that making it harder to get pokemon? Do you mean 1:2000

Tuba. Definitely.

I can see this. I mean, they created Sentinence! That has to be way cooler (and take a lot more energy) than something that merely separates connections. I have a question. What is the schedule for annotations? I knew it used to be a biweekly thing, but it seems to have lessened. Also, with the rush to write WoK, did you end up writing annotations for it? When will we see those?
