I like creating soundtracks for the tabletop role-playing games that I run.  Sometimes I create a few different soundtracks for different plotlines or to give a specific thematic feel.  Apparently some people say that I am good at it ( Read more... )

Hey, everyone!  So for the last two years rikoshi and I have been living with tilton and higginsdragon in a rented house in Santa Clara.  Tilton and Higgins are going to be moving out on their own when the lease runs out, so Rikoshi and I are looking for one to two roommates by around the end of March.

It’s a two-floor house with four-bedrooms, two full bathrooms upstairs ( Read more... )

Hey look, a year went by without me posting anything!  I might as well fix that.

I've been talking about tabletop RPG concepts pretty frequently lately with rikoshi and athelind and here are some of the things that have been rattling around in my mind.  I am an Internet blowhard, so you may take great issue with some of the things I have to say.  Feel free to ( Read more... )

Hey, all. I posted it to Twitter, but I figured I'd follow up here. I'm flying out to MFF from San Francisco Int'l Airport on Thursday at 11:10 am. Is anyone else going to SFO that morning who could manage a ride for me? I'd much prefer that to taking a cab. Thanks in advance!

I'm on a bit of a gaming hiatus these days, so to help satisfy my jones for entertainment, I'm going run a one- or two-shot game ( Read more... )

Request for some technical advice: I have an old hard drive kicking around that may or may not have died on me. This was from three years ago, so I'd mostly forgotten about it. Sadly, a few days ago a good friend of mine from college died, and that hard drive had a lot of pictures of him on it. I'd really love to retrieve those if it's possible ( Read more... )

So this Saturday at the Mountain View BevMo there's an annual port tasting that I'm strongly tempted to go to. The selection is picked by the local store folks rather than the corporate office, so I'd expect a variety of really good stuff to try. The fee is (warning: sticker shock) $40. Anyone interested in joining me?

A few months back I got this really nasty cough. It left this raspy feeling in my chest and the force and frequency of it made my muscles ache. Within a week of getting it, I knew it was going to take forever to go away. It subsided for a month, but never really vanished. Naturally, it was waiting until the week of AC to come back in force. This ( Read more... )

I don't have to get up at 6 a.m. to see Regis and Kelly (sans Regis)!
