I had started to wonder if there were any decent MU out there these days that had a theme I could get into. Harry Potter MU and WoD MU make up the bulk of what is around these days. WoD is starting to burn me out and HP universe stuff holds absolutely no interest to me. I am told that several games with unique themes are quality, but after ( Read more... )

Cashing in on a friend's offer. It came with the catch that I post this, as you see below. Should be interesting to see who takes the offer from myself...

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me.

My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

* I make no guarantees that you will ( Read more... )

It seems all to easy to get frustrated with the child when she is fussing without any obvious cause or when you want to sleep and she thinks everyone should be awake and playing with her. It is far to simple to get upset when you are trying to accomplish something and she outright refuses to go without your eyes on her. Every now and then, I have ( Read more... )

I can say it no better than this. Seriously? We have a bill being put forward that is so broad it will be able to prevent the sale and production of /anything/ organic (including home gardens for personal consumption.)!! And people wonder why I have so little faith in the government these days... not that I had a lot to begin with. See for yourself ( Read more... )

On the game front, I have made solid progress on my building of the Silent Hill-based Mush. I need to get a few systems in place and solidify the CG design. After that there are only really two game items to make and the website. Of the two in-game items though, they are the biggest ones. First is the building of the grid. No small task despite ( Read more... )

Been doing a ton of research and planning lately. Among the many things I have been working on are the designs for a set of passive heating and cooling systems. The heating would be Passive Solar, the cooling would be passive geothermal. I have worked out everything on the heating side to begin running small test versions and once I determine the ( Read more... )

I don't update nearly often enough. Yeh, you guys already know that, but for Me it is something I have to keep reminding Myself of. I suppose I will just compose some of My stray thoughts into a gel form so you can get some hintings of things going on. Income Tax was figured up and it looks like I will be getting enough to pay off my entire Credit ( Read more... )

Last week, HEN forum closed for good. That saddens Me a great deal. I have found very few Homesteading-based forums that hold much value to Me, but I found them a source of constant aid in My continued learning and growth. I also felt like I was able to contribute to the learning of others. So far, I haven't found any other location for the sort of ( Read more... )

I am not a particularly 'mystical' sort. I do however trust my instincts. McCain was not a great choice, but both logically and on an instinctive level, Obama is a worse choice to me. I could explain the logic side, but at this stage, what does it matter since he has already won? Instinctively though, I feel it on the horizon. In the next year or ( Read more... )

Shadow died two days ago. For those who don't know, that is My cat. I have cried off and on for two days, though have mostly maintained composure. To help you understand how signifigant the death of this feline was to Me, you should know that when My grandfather died, I cried for five to ten minutes at hearing the news and not again thereafter. I ( Read more... )
