  • Timing

    I think I am giving up on the early morning posting schedule – it was an interesting experiment.  Overall, I can’t say my visitor count improved at all, in fact it seemed like it dropped a bit.  Though admittedly at my volume, any change of +1 or -1 is a major shift.  The biggest impact…

  • Your all clear, kid!

    Continuing my collection of the initial releases of the X-Wing Second edition starships, and added the Millenium Falcon (Lando version).  Initially, I was not excited about the model – the addition of the escape pod in the front just doesn’t seem right and makes the ship look weird.  But after digging a bit, I discovered…

  • Miscellaneous plans

    Going to be a busy next couple of weeks, as I prepare for our upcoming Magic: The Gathering tournament.  I still have to finish up the last pieces of the trophy I have been working on, in between what seems to be nearly constant rain.  In addition, my trips to Toledo are more numerous, limiting…

  • Ark: Extinction

    By this point, the new expansion for Ark: Survival Evolved will be released, and hopefully our custom server will be running the new Extinction content.  The wife is rather eager for the new material – she has plans of taming and crafting the new materials in the fresh land to explore.  Personally, I am fairly…

  • Intent vs Reality

  • Back to work

    Posting a bit late, since I have resumed work after a brief one week holiday.  Needless to say, my email is rather backlogged, with all the issues that came up while I was not watching. For the vacation, we had a good time – plenty of fun with the family, camping with the kids, and…

  • Star Wars: X-Wing Organization (revised)

    Continued to tweak and adjust the organization trays I have been working for X-Wing, and I think I have a solution design at this point.  Ended up not being as thin as I had hoped, but everything fits, and more importantly, the upgrade pieces connect well.  Going to test it out a bit in an…

  • Star Wars: X-Wing organization

    My recent game of X-Wing with my son got me inspired to start designing and testing an organization tray, similar to my design for Armada.  Basically, just a way to keep the cards organized with the tokens, since the game has a lot of little pieces.  My goal is to have something simple for each…
