First World Nerd Problems
A year and a half ago, before the pandemic had gotten it’s teeth into us in North America, my wife and I got interested in painting minis. I think it started off with a Valentine’s Day special event at one of the game stores that we frequent. A little down payment and you got a…

A Year Without Words
Y’all. I know I’m not rocking your world when I tell you that 2020 sucked great big donkey balls. That’s no revelation. If you were taking the pandemic even the least bit seriously then you, like me, were largely staying home, sitting on your hands, and thinking about how much you’d like to get out…

What I learned from reading Kindle trash
I have a confession to make. While there will never be any replacement for a well-written, wonderfully crafted book, I kind of low-key also love Kindle Unlimited trash. I suppose the question then becomes, what is Kindle Unlimited trash? What is Kindle Unlimited Trash Kindle Unlimited is, of course, Amazon’s “all you can eat” monthly…

It’s been a while
Woof… I haven’t written anything in this blog for a couple years now. Like a lot of other things, I had grand plans for writing here regularly…and writing far more regularly in general than I ended up doing for the last few years. Life is life though. Sometimes something has to give, and more often…

My favorite Web-comics: Dominic Deegan
It goes without saying, the internet has changed a lot since 2002. I said it anyway. This was a pre-iPhone world, kids. This was pre-WiFi. You wanted internet, you jolly-well plugged an ethernet cable or, god forbid, some archaic telephone-based modem into your computer. It wasn’t the dark ages, like the 90’s, but many an old…

Heya Keepers, it’s been a while since I’ve put out an actual update of what’s going on over at WordKeeperAlpha so I thought I’d let everyone know what I’ve been up to recently. A week or two ago I published the latest update to WKA that enabled the new Projects page that I’ve been working…

2017 wrap-up
It’s difficult to sum up a span of time like a year in a few short (long in my case) paragraphs, but the last couple years have kinda shared a theme. There were highs, and there were lows. When you’re attempting to be creative, the shit that’s going on in the world can really have…

After a long silence
I think that I'm in a dangerous place in my life right now. I'm happy. I'm comfortable. I'm not sure that's a bad thing, per se, but it is a dangerous thing.

Havenhurst: A study in bad story telling
Horror didn’t start off as one of my favorite genre’s of movies. It still isn’t, really, but my appreciation for it has grown ever since I started getting cuddles from my wife while watching them. I’m not as big a fan as she is of getting scared at something, which usually isn’t a problem since…

WordKeeperAlpha Update
I’ve been promising an update on WordKeeperAlpha for a while now. While I haven’t provided that update, I have been working on it. My project for a while now has been updating the Projects and Goals page, which currently shoves them all into the same page. What I’ve been working on is breaking them out…
