Albuquerque Century 2009
On Saturday, I rode the Albuquerque Century. I did far better on this course than I ever have before. Not only was my time smashing, but I felt really great afterwords.

Story Games
In September of last year, I wrote an entry on solo adventure games. Since that time, I've been playing several solo-adventure games, largely in three categories: single-page pick-up games, gamebooks, and a game I'm playing using the Mythic Game Master Emulator.

There is a related meme that I have encountered, which is that our destruction of the natural world reflects a mental illness of self-destruction in ourselves. That our attitude and treatment of other people ( Read more... ) -
Arguing basic values vs action-oriented labels
I occasionally run across two independently published articles that I draw an unintended connection between. Recently, on Overcoming Bias, the article The cost of talking values discussed how an organization can become paralyzed by arguing over their basic values. That effective organizations execute on a presumed shared value, and focus the ( Read more... )
