Ten Tentacles
So many arms, so little time.

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground…

Finally, someone with some common sense.

These Mac security holes are a storm in a teacup. They’ve inspired hundreds of stories in the press and even the national network news, but if they were Windows holes, no one would have blinked … These Mac “threats” are only news because of their novelty, not the threat level [...]

We kidnap and ravage and don’t give a hoot…

February 21st 2006

So, I’m getting that CCG bug again, thanks to Woody. This game looks really cool, and there are several flavors of it out there to satisfy just about any pirate enthusiast. Cool, cool. Looking forward to a little play testing this weekend.
In other news, eevieivy has found the perfect shirt for me. I must have [...]

I am a rock, I am an island…

February 21st 2006

Well, ok. So, that sucked.
Whatever I had seems to be done and gone. Aside from some minor, lingering queasiness, and heartburn from my breakfast shake, I feel perfectly fine. Statistically speaking, most short lived stomach things are food poisoning. The fact that no one else seems to have caught it lends further credence to that. [...]

Leading on your death’s construction…

February 20th 2006

Ok, ZOMGWTFBBQALPACA, who backed the karma train up and ran me over with it? Do you feel better? Why is it I’m not allowed an awesome weekend without having to pay for it on the back end? Literally?
I am sick as a dog. This morning, about 1:30am, The Boy came into our room complaining of [...]

Buddy, you’re a young man, hard man…

February 20th 2006

What a weekend! It began with one heck of a night of fencing on Friday night. I fenced very well, or at least I felt good about my performance, and I got the chance to coach some of the youngsters. Good times all around.
Saturday morning I got my laundry mostly done and got all ready [...]

Devin stays busy while we wait for our food. What did parents do before Game Boys? Although all the blowing is kind of freaking me out.

Yes, that’s the front of a building. Yes, it looks like a giant dresser. Stop asking silly questions.

So, there and done. Stellarcon was exactly what I expected (small but very eager), but Brust was much friendlier than expected. I was the first one there, but they hadn’t gotten him any pens yet. After hunting an assortment down for him, he gladly signed my three books and my old [...]

I took this shot yesterday afternoon, on our way to the hockey game (more on that later), but my view is pretty much the same this morning (note the time). I’m on my to Stellarcon 30 to meet Steven Brust!

Witch-hunt modern day…

February 17th 2006

The first solution that comes to mind is to move the forums to another server… outside the US. But the big question is: who initiated the request to have it shut down? Who other than Apple would do this?
Yeah, like before, I expected this too. It’s a real shame too. I think Apple is missing [...]
