It's where I talk to myself. Gaming, politics, and links I don't want to forget about.
Part of my unemployment regime is making sure I do something creative for a few hours every day. I?ve got the time, so I should use it wisely. Here?s Zombie Apocalypse (PDF), a Fiasco playset I wrote with Susan last week. We playtested it over the weekend and it went pretty well.
I?ve been reading a lot of AlternetHistory.com lately. Someone challenged the board to come up with an AH in which the Internet was unrecognizable with a point of divergence later than Jan 1st, 1989. I couldn?t do it; by that time you already have at least two regional ISPs. If you somehow prevent Bob Rieger [...]
Conservation of attention notice: if you?re from Austin you know all this. We drove down to Lockhart today with Susan?s parents to do the barbecue pilgrimage. This is not the only possible barbecue pilgrimage, even in Central Texas. There?s Luling and Taylor and Llano, but Lockhart is pretty damned close and it?s home to a [...]

We had dinner last night with Susan?s parents at Hudson?s on the Bend. In general it was reasonably tasty; the more Hill Country specific cuisine was, unsurprisingly, where it shined. We all had the three course tasting menu. I had chipotle lobster bisque as the appetizer, which was reasonably good: the richness of the lobster [...]
The 2012 US Senatorial race in Texas is not competitive. It’ll be David Dewhurst as the Republican nominee, and someone sacrificial on the Democratic side. Looks like Jon Roland as the Libertarian candidate.
Cronenberg makes a movie without Viggo Mortensen. Note: violence aplenty in this trailer. Like, aplenty.
Our Texas State Senator is Kirk Watson, in Senate District 14. It’s a ridiculously Democratic district covering most of Austin. At a quick glance he doesn?t look incredibly progressive, nor terribly conservative ? I?d guess he?s reasonably middle of the road for the Democratic Party. Health care is a big issue for him, as is [...]
I love American ingenuity. Here is Ultimate Tak Ball! People are really playing this.
As the Republican primary season wears on, there’s a lot of discussion of delegate math. Jed Lewison of Daily Kos keeps making arguments based on raw percentages ? Romney now has to win 48.4% of the remaining delegates available to reach the convention with the nomination in hand. I think he?s just doing propaganda, though, [...]
