I used to never get hung up on games. Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, whatever. But I’ve always been a tabletop game junkie. Lately, I’ve discovered some of my favorite tabletop games on Game Center for iProducts. Carcassonne was a fun one to find, because of all the tiny pieces. Likewise, finding Sudoku games was
This man was featured on the world-celebrated Humans of New York (HONY) blog. I have to say, I agree with him 100%. Too many people use their status as a member of a group to demand respect, and they get treated like crap instead. This applies to lawyers, doctors, engineers, LGBTQ/Q groups, and racial groups.
In a small town in Arkansas, there is a group of teams called the Tigers. They play for my pseudo-childhood-hometown Prairie Grove. They have had a rivalry since before anyone can remember with a nearby town, Farmington (I know, even I can’t believe how redneck it is that our biggest rival was a town called
This weekend, Facebook announced a new feature: over 50 gender options are now available for your profile. Everything from binary genders (male and female) to pan-gender. Yay for social progress!

This is a HUGE hurdle I have. I’m taking an eCourse taught by
Mana- the slowly refilling resource for abilities in many popular MMOs. I’m out of it. I can’t do no mo’ tonight. I did a bunch of cleaning, organizing, and forgetting to eat. Toss in a trip to the grocery store, and a serious chunk of research for one of my assignments, and I’m beat. To
Over the last several years, I’ve been writing two series of fiction books, along with my series of non-fiction books on mental and behavioral health. I’m quickly reaching a point where I have to prioritize which books I think will be published quickly, and for a reasonable contract. It’s mind-bogglingly difficult to decide which of
When we first got our kittens, we decided to try bathing them while they were young, so they could tolerate water. For Lavinius, this was a disaster. Dude was ready to stab someone with a fork. That didn’t last long at all. With Ezra, though, it was a totally different story. We bathed him 5-8
