[PUBLIC] New Unit Becoming Available in Camberville
I know a lot of you are looking for new places to live, so I thought I'd run this up the flagpole. My sister is relocating and looking for tenants to fill her cozy hardwood 2-BR on Prospect Street halfway between Central and Inman. Parking (FCFS), 524sqft, great lighting, second-floor, 1800/m. Move-in is negotiable over the course of the summer ( Read more... ) -
[PUBLIC] Festival 2011
This past weekend was Festival of the LARPS 2011. I ended up playing in two games, and running one. Despite being on-staff for Midsummer, Cold Flash is the first game I really felt like I was a proper writer of. So, quick review:
The Stand: Breaking Light's 2011 offering, this game ended up being a rather relaxed experience for me. I had ( Read more... ) -
[PUBLIC] What Network Code Architecture Can Teach Us About Life
I've been writing network code for well over a decade now. Early on, I was writing straight off the RFC's, so I got to see the protocols that make up the Internet as we know it in their original state. In RFC793, Transmission Control Protocol (arguably one of the most influential standards ever to come out of IANA), Jon Postel, the editor of the ( Read more... ) -
[PUBLIC] LARP Resume
I finally went through an (mostly) exhaustive update of my LARP Resume on http://larpresume.boldlygoingnowhere.org. I think I got everything except the first few runs of METEOR! I was in, and the NPCing I did for Endgame once, which I refuse to accept was LARPing. Tallying it ( Read more... ) -

[PUBLIC] Crash Program
Back in August I floated the idea of a week-long intensive development exercise based around game development. I'm starting to put together an actual plan for that exercise, tentatively titled "Brewer's Crash Program", running July 2-11 2011. I selected this particular ten day window because it involves half of the days being weekends or holidays ( Read more... ) -
[PUBLIC] Day 10,000
Today is my ten-thousandth day alive.
Our culture doesn't particular venerate this milestone, but I felt it shouldn't pass unnoticed. -
[PUBLIC] A Day On The Island
Today I got up around 0815, and started to wander the island. Fortunately, I wandered directly into brunch, where I had a fantastic meal and spent about 2 hours talking with a 60-some-odd year old American expat Panamanian liver cancer survivor about Life, The Universe, and Everything (the concept, not the book.) Then I went to the beach (nearly ( Read more... ) -
[PUBLIC] Journey To A New World
Today for the first time I journeyed to the Caribbean Sea. The first thing that struck me, even from the plane, was the water. Even from tens of thousands of feel, the water here was markedly different from the North Atlantic that has become so familiar to me. From on high, the water looked like roughhewn stone the color of a the sky. Indeed, ( Read more... )
