  • Posting challenges

    Been being challenged to post regularly again recently thanks to distractions (most notably self-caused). Fundamentally, been spending too much time either working, or playing Atlas, both of which are difficult to pull away from (for different reasons). Schedule right now is in a bit of a rough spot, between holidays, birthdays, and end of school…

  • Spring Break

    Ended up not posting at all last week, thanks to a Spring Break for the family. Officially it was just the kids and spring break from school, but I opted to take the week for a vacation from work as well. Had some good times with the family – we spent the early part of…

  • Skinner

    For something completely different, we nearly added a 3rd dog to our family today. My wife, on the way to drop off the son at school, found a labrador puppy wandering the streets loose. Preventing the inevitable roadside collision, she picked it up and brought it home. There, our other dogs, Scully (a small terrier…

  • Boys are off to camp

For the past many years, the current company has been going thru progressively aggressive cuts and layoffs, which adds to the stress and strain of life. However (thus far), I have been able…

  • Pathfinder, Season 2 Cast – Pokey Darkstrike

    With our upcoming new season of Pathfinder (campaign still to be decided), I am having all the players create their own characters. Now that they are veterans, they get to make all the decisions that I had previously made on their behalf (mainly due to the size of the group). Our first session, scheduled for…

  • Amazon Associates

    Seems the timer for my Amazon associates account is winding down. This is an option provided by Amazon, which trades advertising (in the form of associate links) for a small amount of revenue. Basically, if you follow a link from this site, and purchase an item from Amazon, I get a fraction of a penny.…

  • Posting challenges

    It may have been noticed (it has been by me), that my content, for what its worth, has been a bit more spotty recently. I can blame it on numerous reasons – the holidays, work, science fair, etc – but in truth it is mainly due to distractions in the form of video games. Over…
