  • 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.

    What do you do when you get to 1,000 views? (aside from watch clips from the Simpsons I mean) Make eggnog of course! I’m fairly new to the eggy treat (first trying it sort-of last year), but I’ve been getting a head start on my recipe for this Christmas. This one seems to be a…
