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

Walls, Fletchers, and Games
The Wall Building will Continue until Morale Improves Yes, I have brutalised myself, but all in the name of progress. The wall has come together quite quickly. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it hasn’t fallen down yet and doesn’t look horrendous. It is a long overdue project as I hated the old pseudo-brick…

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…

And all this before the data analysis can even begin. Who knows when I’ll be finished. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But…

Moshing, Skating, and Thieving
Stiff Little Fingers I’ve had a wealth of interesting experiences in my life: I’ve eaten ice cream with an ex-undercover detective in Calabria, scoffed true deep-dish pizza from the one of the original establishments in Chicago, sampled mancakes in NE Portland, and challenged myself with all-you-can-eat fish and chips in Garibaldi, to mention a…

Story
This will be a short one, so don’t expect to be blown away. For me, writing has always been about expressing myself, and reflection. Reflection to help me understand and appreciate the experiences I have had. Lately, most of my writing has been scientific in nature, constrained by logic and reason, forcing my creative side…
