Tuesday photos
These are from the weekend, but sometimes you can't rush uploading. :)
If any of you can tell me what these first two are, I'd be appreciative. (Um, that is, what species they are. You folks busily typing "flowers" can stop now.)

Wed photos and added health note
I went to the doctor yesterday, and the news wasn't good. I've lost ground on a whole lot of fronts and it's going to take very serious work to climb back down from the impending-crisis attic. I really have to push myself on exercise, among a bunch of other things.
The side benefit of this is more photos to share. I'm going to experiment with month ( Read more... ) -
Spirit of the Century on the Kindle
The Evil Hat crew have created one of the few real e-books in gaming. For $5, you can buy Spirit of the Century for the Kindle now!
It's a typical .mobi file: you have all the usual control over font and color, the artwork is embedded, and so on. It's hyperlinked out the wazoo with a very detailed table of contents. (It's also got a very nice ( Read more... ) -
Taking d20 Over The Edge
Some of you don't know that the nice folks at Atlas Games recently released Wanton Role-Playing, the OGL version of the wonderful, simple, great rules for Robin Laws & Jonathan Tweet's rpg Over The Edge. But they did do this thing, and you can go get it for yourself.

Been listening a fair amount to Genesis' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway lately. (I go on these kicks.) I've also been reading some of the commentary about it, by the band and by others. Two observations.
#1. Regular readers know my vast appreciation and admiration for Peter Gabriel's work. Keep that in mind that I say, wow, Mr. Gabriel comes across ( Read more... ) -
In the garden of the senses
I've got my big living room air conditioner/air filter actually cooling a bit this afternoon, for the first time this year. It made some loud clunking and clanging noises for a few seconds when I switched it from pure fan and filtering mode, then settled down to a steady grumble that reminded me of something. It dawned on me: when I lived near ( Read more... ) -
Measuring goodness the WoW way
This is a post about my health, and about two specific bits of progress measured via MMO.
An expansion back (in Wrath of the Lich King), World of Warcraft added the Argent Tournament. This was a place for characters of both Horde and Alliance to take on a variety of challenges to build up the expertise needed to face the Lich King and not get turned ( Read more... ) -
World of Warcraft: I changed my mind
You know how I often make a point of emphasizing that my judgements about this or that are contingent? It's so times like this won't be so embarrassing. Short form: I'm enjoying WoW at the moment and looking forward to the upcoming expansion pack. This will be long, so going behind a cut tag.

Some Something Wicked things, perhaps wicked
I'm a sharing mood. Here are two bits from Something Wicked. They're very long, so they're going behind a cut tag.
