Words that don't exist, but should

There should be a word for...

... sorrow caused by the good fortune of another.
... the feeling of vertigo caused by jumping from a high place... in a video game.

The Good

The extent to which the alignment system of 3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons influenced my philosophy of the world is very nearly embarrassing, although the writings of Michael Moorcock helped too. Good and Evil is a fine spectrum for some stories and some religions, but Law and Chaos are so much more interesting.

About Me

Dan: I am a programmer at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. Most of my spare processor cycles are spent complaining about bad usability. I try to view life as a great adventure, but it's often more fun to read about others' adventures instead. To the extent that I behave in a consistent manner, my two favorite principles/ cliches for living are: "An it harm none, do what ye will" (in its various forms) and "This above all: to thine own self be true".
