Board Games, Video Games, Books
This is by no means all inclusive of anything, except what I remember as recently new to me.
Board Games
Agricola: I thoroughly enjoy this resource-management game. It's tough for me to categorize, which is good. The resource elements make me suspect that people who like Power Grid will like this, but I have trouble picking out exactly why. ( Read more... ) -
GenCon!
As of five minutes ago, I'm going to GenCon next week.
I'll be helping a friend out at the Winning Moves Games booth, if you wanted to find me in the dealer's room. Or email me or whatever if you wanted to try to get together at some other point ( Read more... ) -
Fantastic Contraption
The more people I show this to, the more people who get addicted to this flash based puzzle/building game.

There's a first time for everything
I received one of the nicest compliments on Saturday. I'd met her a couple hours before she told me:
"You're the most patient man I've ever met."
I'm pretty certain that's the first time anyone said that to me. Exaggeration or not, it was wonderful to hear it.

I've just finished watching it for the third time. I do like the soundtrack -
Dr. Horrible
I'm sure I'm late to the party, but watching drhorrible.com was a lot of fun.
Mandatory for comic geeks, I think (I am not one, really), but suitable for People In General. -
Dead Again
This is a funny song that's a lot like "We Didn't Start the Fire", except that it's all about games. Mostly video games, but a few other references are in there. You may want to click on the Lyrics link since it goes by quick ( Read more... ) -
Harmonix
Tomorrow, I'm starting a "temporary full-time" position at Harmonix, as part of the department that runs playtests. These are the guys who came up with Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
The employment is only until sometime in late July (variable). But it could lead to something else.
I'm pretty excited. I haven't started any kind of new job since
