2012 in review – by WordPress
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. I will have to do some sort of end of year entry, even though it is a bit late. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 6,900 views in 2012. If every…

A game review?! Not really
There was no real post last weekend, just a general commentary on life and death. I did not feel inspired to write anything interesting or whimsical, it just didn’t seem appropriate in my mind at that time. Another new week though, and life goes on.

We are all but mere mortals
We are all but mere mortals. No truer has that sentiment been to me than the last few days, when I lost a classmate and friend to a terrible accident. It is the most surreal, and unreal, experience I have ever known. To know someone you knew, and so full of life, is gone from…
