    Enjoying the holiday with family, and not working today, so not much of any updates.  Will be out in the heat using up last years fireworks, and enjoying some summer grilling.  Have a safe and fun 4th.

    For something completely off my usual topics, I wanted to show off a recent acquisition.  The wife happened upon a website company which specializes in movie-related props, The Noble Collection.  Perhaps this site was more well known then I give it credit, but for us, it was something new.  The wife was very interested in…

    Planning on trying to play some more Star Wars Armada this Sunday, after a fairly lengthy dry spell.  I like the game, just haven’t had the time, availability, or space for doing so.  However, thanks to a recent spring purge in the house, one of our rooms is nicely clean and open again.  Toss in…

    Its a sign that my day job has gotten busy when I start to miss my daily posting, as I did yesterday and almost did on Monday.  I have been making a solid effort to post daily, even if it is trivial or minor, and for the most part have done pretty well.  But long…

    It has been many years, but my model of The Wormwood finally had another use – as the centerpiece for our Cub Scout pirate-themed Crossover ceremony.  This is a paper-craft model I built several years ago, in preparation for the Pathfinder campaign, Skull and Shackles.  Unfortunately, the campaign died off after a bit into the…

    On Friday, the site software notified me of an upgrade to WordPress, moving to 4.9.6, which as usual I installed.  As expected, the install was quick and painless, rarely ever any issues.  However, with the new update, there is now a new focus on Privacy Policies, no doubt a result of all of the recent…

    This last weekend was our scheduled bi-weekly tabletop day, where we routinely play Zombicide, Star Wars Armada, Magic the Gathering or any of a number of other games.  Instead, we opted to cancel the games, and instead spend time with our respective Mom’s (or in my case, my wife).  As a family, we did end…

    Today of course marks the Star Wars-geek holiday of May 4th, with the subtle pun on the well known Star Wars phrase.  Being a die-hard Star Wars fan since a young age, I do enjoy all things Star Wars.  However, I have over the last year or two rapidly developed a bit of ambivalence to…
