+1 and an assist!
No goals were scored against us while I was on the ice tonight. That would net me a +0, the thing which I was happy to have a few weeks back ( Read more... ) -
My life is bound together by KT tape and Silicon pads
So the last two weeks have provided for the first time some positive news on the hockey front. First I did some careful investigation and tuning with the manager of our local Hockey Giant store, and we figured out where all my pain is coming from. On my left foot I have a nerve running over the top of the bony protrusion in my ankle. On my right ( Read more... ) -
Know anyone with clue about hockey skate fit?
I'm having a ton of fun trying to learn hockey. But to be honest, in the 10 months I've been doing it I've spent 3 times as much time trying to find a way to get the boots stable and pain free underneath me.

When they moved to the Warfield I purchased two seats up top because I'm old and lazy. So before I put them on Craigslist I figured I'd offer them to my friends ( Read more... ) -
...so my arm isn't broken, after all.
In Sunday's hockey game I managed to collide at high speed with our other defenseman while we were together blocking a forward sprinting towards our goal. We succeeded in blocking him, but ended up hitting the ice pretty hard, me on the shoulder which already has a bone spur poking into the rotator cuff ( Read more... ) -

Write books in the HTMLBook standard using Scrivener
My favorite writing tool is Scrivener. I wrote the Learning MCollective book for O’Reilly Media entirely in Scrivener, exporting to AsciiDoc. I was afraid this wouldn’t work very well, but it ended up working just great. You can get my export settings and processing scripts from https://github.com/jorhett/scrivener-asciidoc.
