No, as much as I enjoy it, Twitter most definitely does NOT constitute “writing.” On a related note: as I ramp up my creative practices, I really need to slow down that particular practice. No offense to my fellow Twitterers, but it is irresponsibly siphoning away time that is better spent on more productive efforts.
I demand creativity from myself
It’s an adage as old as the practice of writing itself: if you want to be a good writer, you have to write every day. The same advice works for artists. I want to be a good writer. I also would love to be a good artist/designer. Let’s face it, I just want to be […]
Wow – traffic skyrockets due to incessant blathering
So, evidently my post on the potential Wii RPGs of 2008 is number 1 on Google in searches for “wii rpgs“. What does this mean? My traffic has been steadily increasing over the past month to the point where I’m about to break my previous attendance record. Pretty phenomenal for a silly little personal blog […]
PlayIt, ReviewIt is LIVE!
I guess Siraris is ready to let the proverbial cat out of the proverbial bag with the official launch of his brainchild, PlayItReviewIt. I’ve got a handful of Wii game reviews out there, one of which is currently a front-page “featured review”, so I got that going for me, which is nice. I guess this […]
Rearrangementations
It was spring cleaning today on the Nerdflood blog. I moved a lot of stuff around on the sidebars because I wasn’t liking the arrangement. There was more stuff I wanted to add, and things that needed removing. I cleaned up my “Find Me Online” list to only show places where I actually currently tend […]
Mario Kart Wii: pre-ordered
There are two things I never do: I never shop at GameStop I never pre-order games. Today, I did both of those things. I feel a little ashamed of this fact, which is probably why I feel the need to confess my sin openly. The gist of it is that GameStop has a marginally good […]
New quick Flash drawing: Motorcycle Man
I drew this today. Not really sure why, he just popped into my head and wouldn’t go away until I entered him into my palette. I’m really wanting a Wacom these days. Until then, I make do. I might toss a few more creations into the dusty old Comicspace in the next few days, more […]
Mommy is the best (of course)
I love to mention how amazing my wife is in all appropriate regards, and this situation is no different. She called me earlier today to say that son number 2 (who barely slept at all last night due to a hacking, barking cough) was obviously sick. More than likely some respiratory flu of some sort. […]
The Des Moines Register is checking out the future (or at the very least, the very recent past)
I’ve been hooking up with lots of local Twitter-ers lately (pretty much all of them can be found here), one of which was the Twitter account for the Des Moines Register. I unfollowed this account when, after just an hour or so, it became apparent that it is nothing more than an automated bot distributing […]
Weather is great for sitting inside and watching Nova
I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned this here on the blog before, but all of us in my family are guilty of being Nova-philes. We gather together every Tuesday evening to watch interesting stories about exploding stars, or volcanic eruptions, or Mayan culture, or melting icebergs. It’s fascinating, and what really makes me smile is […]
