And by “boredom”, I mean “I have far too many things to do, but most of them are not exciting.” I was on the air with Johnny “Ballpark” Franks on 730 The Ump today, which was a good time. Probably 10 minutes of air-time if I had to guess. I’m hoping to get a recording of [...]

I’m still no Doug Hass, but my ever so subtle hint back in May that I might be a part of the book that the guys at Roll ‘Bama Roll were putting together is one step closer to reality. Maple Street Press has finally added Yea Alabama 2008 to their website and, if their article listing [...]

So I’ve been a huge fan of Will Wright’s games ever since the original SimAnt and SimCity. When I heard about a new project of his called Spore, I knew I had to check it out. The idea of the game is, as best I can tell, is to carry a species through each phase [...]

Two interesting things happened last night. The first was funny, the second was not. Sometime early this morning I woke up to a loud thump.
