Prelude to Vegas 2005
Next weekend, myself and 14 other individuals will be getting on a plane and heading to the other half of the nation to Las Vegas, Nevada. What awaits us, only time will tell. The breakdown is 3 females and 12 males. This cast of characters is nearly as random as some of the games half…

HMO Bad!
Last night, I went over to my parents house after work. I knew my room would most likely flood, so I checked in on it first and it wasn’t too bad. Of course, it got much worse, but thankfully I wasn’t there to worry about it. Instead, I engaged in thoughtful analysis of health and…

Disabled Trains
On the way to work one morning this week, I had the privelidge to be on one of the ‘disabled trains’. For those not aware, its been more and more commonplace lately that a train will just stop running and won’t move, even after a clean restart. These ‘disabled trains’, as they are called, cause…

Flash Game of the Week: Place the State
Yet another annoyingly stupid game. Test your United States geography skills. My score was 90% with an average error of 18 miles in 364 seconds. Not much on replay value though. Link.

Happy First Birthday, Blog
One year ago yesterday, I actually got off my rear and did something. I installed WordPress and made my first post to this blog. This year has been one of my most productive years yet partially thanks to this blog. It has forced me to keep a new routine in updating and posting content to…

Wizard World Boston 2005
The first Wizard World Boston took place this past weekend at the Bayside Expo. I was fortunate enough to make it out there on Saturday accompanied, once again, by Brendan and Thanh. I definitely geeked out within like 5 minutes of walking into the main room. Too much at once. I had to regain my…

Paperclip Chase
There comes a time of the month when a man has to pay a bill, reconcile a checking account and do something with all those ATM receipts. This time of the month is regularly followed by the monthly ritual of searhing for the box of paperclips deviously hidden somewhere in my room. Each month after…
