While on vacation I acted fat again. I didn’t run, in fact I barely moved at all. Every meal I ate more than I’d ever need because it feels good to be full. I was totally full every night when I went to bed. I drank more wine and cocktails last week than I have […]
Wunderlist has been my to-do application for several months. I like it a lot and my wife has put up with it, so we’ll probably keep using it for the foreseeable future. One feature that I especially make use of is recurring events. I’m one of those people that uses a full to-do list as […]
A state of flow is always something to be desired. How you get there is a path you’ll need to discover on your own. But perhaps your path will look something like mine. Put headphones on to keep the rest of the room out. Turn on some music and put it on loop – something instrumental or […]

But you may have noticed something; I haven’t been writing about Critical Role at all recently. You know why? I haven’t been watching. I’m […]
It’s fair to say I underestimated the difficulty of writing campaigns for my Dungeons and Dragons group. Going through a pre-written module was simple enough and it provided a good outline for the sort of information I’d need. Having DM’d that adventure with success, I thought I knew enough about the game to prepare a […]
Since June 16th, I’ve been doing the Couch-to-5k (C25k) running program. I really don’t like running and I’m surprised I’ve kept the habit this long. But I definitely needed to get my physical activity back up and running is free. Last night was the first task of C25k that I couldn’t complete successfully. It was Week […]
It also rocks. But more accurately, I wanted to share a few rules I’ve set in place for myself for creating a consistent blogging habit. Please steal them for your own blog and help make the web a better place. Keep the focus on content, not on ‘the site.’ It can be really fun to change up […]
