As part of the programming for the Armadillocon 2025 game room, I GMed a short 2-hour adventure demoing Jess Nevins’s Fury of the Northmen. Like everything he does, this is an exceptionally dense and thoroughly researched project. Although it builds off the DnD Fifth Edition platform, it’s two hefty tomes with quite a lot of

After a lifetime without complaints, I suddenly developed a snoring problem. Occasionally the snoring would get so loud that I would wake myself up, but mostly I learned about it when I woke up because my wife gave me a hefty kick. I brought this problem up with my doctor, and she referred me to
Controlled Experiment Finds the Answers! From time to time, I’ve found myself with a use-case for painted plastic. For instance, back in the day, when I was doing a lot of biking, but before I had a lot of high-end REI gear on the bike, I had a DIY panier made out of a re-used
The State of Austin’s Pedestrian Infrastructure 2025 Earlier this year I trained to walk the Megamarsch Hamburg, an endurance event in Germany where I walked 100km in 24 hours.

Taxes Procrastination
I’ve had the folder with all my tax documentation sitting on my desk for months now. I had intended to do them early in January (I’m the guy who hands out the W-2s at my job, so everybody got them about a week into the new year), but when I went to the IRS website
A Sudden Plethora of Podcasts
It seems like one day your podcasting days are behind you, and then the next you’re practically swimming in podcasts. I both consumed and produced podcasts way back in the early days. Along with Steve Wilson, we put together a few episodes of a Space Squid podcast, and the beginning of the RevCast podcast. RevCast
