If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • Split Slate and Fiction

    A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

  • Reading on a Deadline

    Because what better way is there to relax than a threat of impending confiscation… The Library No, I’m not talking about your Steam Library. Or your PlayStation catalogue. We are discussing brick-and-mortar (and sometimes chassis in the case of vans) libraries. I have an on-again, off-again relationship with the library system. It was a convenient…

  • Travels and (Almost) Total Solar Eclipse

    There are plenty of reasons to holiday in the Catalan capital. Sangria. Tapas. Gaudi. Xocolate. Our summer holiday was a re-do of last years washed out trip to Barcelona. Surely it couldn’t rain the entire time in August? Thankfully this time we only got an hour or so over the duration of the holiday. X…

    What’s up? I haven’t been able to post as regularly as I had originally hoped, but I should get one up online tomorrow if all goes well. Things are still busy here, and I’ve had some pretty amazing experiences so far which I hope I can remember! There has just been so much going on…

  • What’s happening in OC (Oregon City, that is)

    A lot has happened in the few short days since my last post. I mean a lot. It’s hard to think of even where to begin. No photos again, as you’ll notice, thanks once more to the limitations of my phone/lapdock combo. The only good thing about it at the moment is that it’s keeping…
