Plumbing, Hockey, and Politics

I had a very productive weekend, if I do say so myself. It was the type of weekend where I didn’t have much planned, but wound up doing a lot. I don’t have many of those, but could use some more for sure. If anyone has any to spare, please send [...]

Pearl Jam - No More

This is slightly political, but in my mind is just a good protest video. It’s about the Iraq War, and is a video by Pearl Jam. Check it out if you like that type of thing. It touched my heart.

A New Beginning

I have been working hard the past week on the edits for Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of my NaNoWriMo story, and I’m really pleased with how things are turning out. It is going to be a long process, for sure, but I think in the end I’m going to at least have an [...]

I Build Stuff

My father-in-law gave my daughter the most excellent train table for Christmas this year.  That’s it in the picture above (picture from the manufacturers web site). Since it was pretty big, even unassembled, we weren’t able to bring it home until this weekend. Two nights ago I had the pleasure of putting the thing together, [...]

Apologies

Sorry for my absence today. I meant to post and then got called home by my wife because she needed help taking care of our daughter. I hadn’t mentioned this yet, but last week my wife and daughter were involved in a car accident only 3 blocks from our house. They were [...]

Tardis Arcade Console

This was just too good to pass up. Someone created a replica of Doctor Who’s Tardis and built a Mame (Arcade emulator) inside it. I want this sooo bad.

Not only is it a great reproduction of the Tardis, but you can play Pac Man inside. If I [...]

Quick Update

Just a quick update here.  Yes, I’m alive.  I was just away for the Easter weekend.  Things went well.  We ate some yummy food, visited with family, and drove a bunch of miles.  I missed you all, though
Last night I had my monthly writer’s group meeting.  They seemed to enjoy my Chapter 2 [...]

I found this writing contest via Duotrope. The contest is from Northpoint, an e-zine, and involves prizes and an interesting theme.
Here is the info via their blog:

Did you ever wish the end of the world would come just for the adventure that would follow? You don’t care what made [...]

The Colour of Magic on TV

As you all know I’m a huge Terry Pratchett fan. I came across some more Terry Pratchett goodness yesterday and thought I’d share.
It turns out that Terry Pratchett’s novel, The Colour of Money, has been made into a movie and is airing Easter Sunday on Sky One. I don’t really know what Sky [...]

Liveblogging My Sunday With My Daughter

My wife has started a part-time job, working on some nights and weekends. It isn’t in her field (graphic design), but I think it will help her feel better that she’s contributing to the family financially (though she does so much for us already taking care of our daughter - she should be paid [...]
