My Colorado Avalanche managed to make it through the first round of the NHL playoffs. Now they have the pleasure of playing the possibly unstoppable Detroit Red Wings in the second round. In truth the Wings have looked fairly human this season, especially in the playoffs. We shall see.
The Wife and I are suddenly both […]

This past weekend The Wife and I got ourselves an XBox 360.
I say that in terms of “us” and “we”, but really the purchase was precipitated by my girl’s strong desire to rock out with a little game called Karaoke Revolution. Make no mistake, she was a dancer for good reason, but the ability to […]

Random tidbits once again:

I’m really pleased with the results of my latest slate tile project. Now I’m itching to switch into woodworking mode. I’m super excited about the new episodes of the New Yankee Workshop: Norm is building kitchen cabinets. I plan to eventually build cabinets for the mudroom and perhaps the garage (as practice […]

Good times this weekend.
The primary highlight was a video game tourney and home-cooked Korean barbecue at my friend Peter’s house. Peter (a former co-worker) and his fiance, Ann, laid out quite a spread of delicious kalbi, rice cakes, kalbi, fried fish, kalbie, kimchi, and some totally yummy kalbi.

Kurt Vonnegut is no more. I believe the thing to say here is “So it goes.”
We’ve got a doozy of a snow storm coming. It’s April…
I talked my boss into meeting me at the roller derby match last weekend. In return, he may be taking me to a […]

I know a few guys that need to spend some time playing Desktop Tower Defense. (Maybe some gals, too, but The Wife showed absolutely no interest…)
My high score so far is ~3100 in “normal” mode, which is a full 5000 shy of the ultimate high score.
If you get prompted to save your score, add it […]

It’s been an interesting week in some respects, and it’s bound to get even more interesting tomorrow.
The radio silence is unintentional, but not too surprising.
One thing worth mentioning: Thanks to all kinds of peer pressure from the dorks at work, I downloaded the 10-day trial for World Of Warcraft and got it installed last Thursday. […]
