Some think of November as the dreary autumn month before the onslaught of winter (for those in the northern hemisphere, that is). Where thoughts of Thanksgiving, pumpkin pie, and hot spiced drinks draw near. Some think of November as that month of self induced writing torture, known as NaNoWriMo. However, few know that there is [...]

So, it’s been over a week since the legendary annual migration of geeks to the great Pacific Northwest took place. I am, of course, referring to the Penny Arcade Expo (lovingly known as PAX) in Seattle, Washington. For those that may be unfamiliar with this phenomenon, I shall point you to the official PAX website [...]
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the Origins Game Fair, in Columbus, Ohio, for the first time. It was a wonderful experience and I got to hang out with a fun group of friends that I rarely get to spend time with (a result of us living in different corners of [...]

Last Sunday we went diving at the underwater park in Edmonds, Washington. Yes, you heard me right, SCUBA diving in the winter in the north Pacific. The water temperature that day was 45°F. Considering that the air temperature was in the thirties, it wasn’t too bad. Oh, and we were wearing dry suits so I [...]
So, yeah. I moved hosts again. This time it was because of something not quite right with our ISP. Believe me, I would have loved to keep the site where it was, but it was brought to my attention that visitors to the site that used the same ISP weren’t able to view the site. [...]
