I slept in too late today, and combined with the errands I had to run didn’t have time to shoot and edit a vlog. So I’ll do that tonight, and post it tomorrow. I actually feel pretty good about this because the delay wasn’t caused by laziness or procrastination, but rather by productivity; I was [...]

People say that celebrities always die in threes. Stupid people actually believe it.
A couple years ago I signed up for Celebrity Death Beeper so I would get a silly little e-mail every time someone famous dies. Of course their definition of “celebrity” is pretty broad, so most of my beeps are for obscure Czechoslovakian arthouse [...]

It’s disheartening to think that I’m as good as I’m ever going to get at some of my favorite games. There comes that point, though, I just have to make my peace with it. My name will never be on the leaderboards adorned with glittering lights. I’ll never win the hearts of nerdgirls everywhere with [...]

I’ve had less time to work on my blog lately because of all the time I’ve been sinking into articles for RMN. So instead of an update today you get a cop-out with four links to recent articles I’ve written over there!
Information Absorption – A look at how information is conveyed in video games and [...]

Fiancee and I are playing with the idea of a 1920s Mafia themed wedding. Everyone gets a tommygun and a fedora!

Girlfriend’s sister has gone back home and the wedding that ate most of my weekend is now behind us, so things can return to being not quite so crazy around here. For instance, I’ll be doing my dishes for probably the first time in a week right after I finish writing this post.
So I have [...]

From 2005 to 2008 I maintained a blog about my experiences working in the drug test industry. Every Sunday I revive one of those experiences here. The following was originally posted January 9, 2006.
