As I write this, the Dow is down to its lowest point in about 5 years.  International markets seem to be in freefall.  Unemployment is rising, rapidly.  People are getting evicted, and those who aren’t are finding their home values “underwater”.  The glaciers are all melting.  Commonly used plastic products are causing genetic mutations in […]

This morning at 8am the crew arrived and began the (estimated) 6-month long renovation project at our new house. Yesterday I had my cell phone with me so I did a batch of 12-second-long videos running through the place as it looks before any work is done. Enjoy the next ~2 minutes, 12-seconds […]

Just wanted to write a short post wishing Ryan Block the best as he begins a transition to his next great adventure. I’ve had the pleasure of pitching, demoing, writing, volunteering, traveling, dining, and gaming with Mr. Block over the years, and it’s all been a pleasure.

It’s 2002. Game 6. Montreal leads the series 3-2.  It’s 6:30pm on the West Coast and I begin watching my TiVo’d game, timeshifted by about 2.5 hours.  About 15 minutes later, my phone rings, “CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?” exclaims the excited relative.

It’s 2008.  There should be no such calls.  It might be […]
