So, I had an interesting conversation with a co-worker today about how we define our identity.

Basicly, the jist of the conversation was 'how long do you have to not do somthing before you no longer consider yourself a doer of that thing'? The example I had in the conversation was pottey. I consider myself a potter, I have my pottery all around the ( Read more... )

1. What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before? Went to a game con! I've been gaming since I was a yute (hint- I started playing AD&D shortly before TSR printed the first Monster Manual), yet I had never made it to a major con.

Have any of you out there ever experienced working with a person who becomes less and less techno-literate as time wears on?

So, a few weeks back I posted about us getting our studio cameras back, only to find out our switcher was fried. So yesterday we got the repaired switcher back and installed it today. It only took us half the day to figure out the riddle of The Black Burst, The Genlock, and The Advance Sync. The moral? just keep hooking it up different ways till it ( Read more... )

Ok, I picked up a copy of the boardgame Oshi last night. It's made by Wizkids, so I had this obligatory complusion to get it, plus I thought it looked kind of neat. It took me all of 2 minutes to read the rules, then I set it up and played a quickie game with myself ( Read more... )
