As you probably no doubt remember, we’re participating in NaNoWriMo this year. As I sit here, we’re a full one-third of the way into the NaNo season, and things are very interesting. As you can see by my stats, I’m actually doing very well this year – far and away better than the last time […]
Nan Oh Rhyme Oh
It’s that time of year, again. The fall leaves changing, the air is getting colder (I think I covered most of this in my last post). But most of all, we’re quickly approaching November. And that means: NaNoWriMo. For those unfamiliar, NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month. The time of year where thousands of people […]
All Quiet on the Western Front…
Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve had a blog post up. But I have a very good excuse! It hasn’t been the general sorts of things, like laziness, or forgetfulness, or just plain sick of blogging. No, in April we discovered that we had to move out of the nice home we had been […]
From 2012 to 2013
Yeah, I’m doing that whole looking back at the year behind us, and looking forward to the year ahead sort of thing today. Bear with me, I haven’t written a blog post in several months. I’m a bit rusty. All in all, 2012 was a pretty good year for us. It was the year my […]
wilwheaton: hijinksensue: Dice Mountain is a game my daughter and I invented (I’m sure many other have “invented” the same game) after I bought her a set of dice at one of the cons I was exhibiting at and she asked, “What do you do with them?” to which I responded, “You play games.” Then […]
I just bought my very first Apple product. I feel dirty.
Now, just to clarify, I’m no Apple hater. I don’t have the trademark intensely-burning dislike towards the company that my fellow Windows and/or Android-centric acolytes seem to share. But I’m not a fan of their closed nature, and I promised myself long ago that anytime I was given the option, I would always work to […]
Why do I even bother to pretend I know how to play video games anymore?
So, should I be annoyed or proud that my son has beaten Super Mario Galaxy 2 before me? I watch him fly through the end levels with the ease of a practiced expert. Gliding over obstacles, jumping and careening through danger with no more care or consideration than a buzzing bee floating lazily through a field […]
Tomorrow is Xenoblade Chronicles day!
Which for most people will result in something resembling the following: Pick up Xenoblade Chronicles Go home and play Xenoblade Chronicles But, unfortunately, for ME at least, the process will actually look something more like this: Pick up Xenoblade Chronicles Work the rest of the day (periodically flipping through the art book, of course) Go […]
There was a knowing look on Elder Ro’s face. A look that Logan instantly recognized. It was a look of pity. One that suggested to Logan that the Desdemonian elder likely felt at least some amount of sympathy for the young helpless boy whose father had been missing for far too many days. Logan hated […]
Novel update
I’ve mentioned before that my 9-year-old son and I are working on a fantasy novel together, aimed at his age range. I’ve just finished chapter two last night, clocking in at around 3,000 words at the moment. We’ve planned out 40 chapters, so at an average of 1,500 words per chapter, we could be looking […]
