I’ve started the process of migrating my bigger pieces of content from the old site. For folks who haven’t had the pleasure, this includes larger chunks of text I’ve written about topics like Dungeons and Dragons, massively multiplayer gaming, and some of my computer projects. They don’t really have the same sort of timeliness as a blog posting, and are prone to being rather lengthy.
My wife and I took a little break from real life over the past 24 hours. We went up to Harrison Hotsprings and stayed in a nice hotel there for one night.
Irene and I have been married for 15 years as of today. Having Irene in my life totally changed my perspective on things for the better.
I have this image of Karl Rove, one of George Bush’s senior advisors and architect of his re-election campaign, smoking a big cigar (Cuban) and laughing at America. This is a guy who advises trotting out patriotism as an excuse for violating civil rights, lying to the public about fictional WMD, and calling political opponents who actually served in a war “cowards” and liars.
My back hurts. More specifically, my upper back: my doctor said something about C4-5 and C5-6, and spondylolisthesis, which sounds like a kind of fungus. The pain comes and goes, and is sometimes accompanied by numbness in my arm. He prescribed painkillers and physiotherapy. I’ve been putting off the physio, but the pain today has gotten to be a bit much so I think its about time.
I just added in RSS feeds from Google News and Slashdot on the right navigation bar of the main page here. The basics of my new, “improved” site are almost all in place- in essence, everything you used to see in the old site is here now.
I am getting tired of reading news stories about people committing violent crimes with their cars and then getting off with the judicial equivalent of a DUI conviction
A week or so ago a co-worker of mine showed me a program he was playing with- Google Earth. Its a beta, and I had heard of it before, but it hadn’t really intrigued me very much until Dan showed it to me.
Another strange thing about MMOGs is the fact that they have now spawned real world model searches. I’m not playing EverQuest 2 any more really, but this sort of got my attention.
