A series of unfortunate events
So about a month ago, my best friend asked me if I was interested in some discounted Celtics tickets. I said sure. The last Celtics game I had been to featured Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, and Larry Bird. A couple weeks ago, my friend asked me for the money and I handed it over without…

Playing Catch Up
Since I’ve been back from the convention, I feel like I’ve been playing catch up. When I got back to work I was immediately hit with a highly urgent project that had a 3 work-day turn around. I also had a LOT of post-convention decompression to take care of for Powet.TV. We didn’t get as…

Botcon 2006 Day 1
The first day of the trip to Botcon was a very long day of travel. After getting lost on the way to the airport several times, which is standard in Boston, I made it with plenty of time to spare before my flight. I sat at my gate jotting down some notes to myself and…

Naruto Ninja Council
Tuesday night I had some free time and was able to sit down and finally open up the Naruto: Ninja Council game I bought over the weekend during the huge toy run with Brendan and Thanh. I think the instant messenger log with Brendan that night sums it up best: [21:25] Me: irrationaly fury! i…

The problem with fandoms
This is a bit of a rant, but I needed to get it out of my system. There are two types of people in fandoms based around franchises. The first type is the fan. The fan is a member of the fandom who really enjoys the franchise. By that, I mean they are actively engaged…
