Weekly Journal

• Home from Charlotte, safe and sound. I've decided to observe Lent this year by suspending my use of Twitter & Facebook. Cya after Easter. #

• I'm going to Origins for the 1st time to run DresdenFiles. But I need some folks to room with to share $. Anybody wanna sleep with a monkey? #
• New at Canon Puncture – Episode 86: Indie Games with Porn Stars! http://bit.ly/daap1a #
• It is just becoming real that I'm getting up early and flying to Charlotte tomorrow. I wonder what the weather in NC is supposed to be like? #
• And off I go to experience the TSA's newest tricks and humiliations first-hand. I'll be back online this afternoon from the Drury Northlake. #
• Charlotte is all sunshine & 48-degree temps. Pretty much a balmy paradise compared to the currently-frozen tundra of Louisville. #
• Did I remove my earrings to impress my clients, or because I really just felt like taking them out for a while? Think what you will, kiddos. #
• Burritos Without Borders at Northlake Mall makes a pretty good Cajun burrito. Yay them. #
• Hot Topic has the BEST Dropkick Murphys t-shirt but only 2XL in stock. I want a dark green XL with the skull-pirate hat face on a shamrock. #
• View the undeniable pirate-celtic-punk awesomeness of this bit of apparel, folks: http://bit.ly/bxdKn2 – All for a mere $15. #
• Okay, time to head to the lobby for my dinner date with a cadre of Christian ministers who like to talk shop but are still pretty cool. #
• Holy frijoles, this big giant hotel TV is an HD! I've never seen an HD picture except at Best Buy and such. Go Drury Inn! #
• Yeah, that snowboarder dude falling on his face in the halfpipe looks kinda cool in HD. #
• What is this shining golden orb suspended in a canopy of crystal blue? Is the sky not destined to be forever cast in grey? Magic is afoot. #
• Today, I went beyond my comfort zone and asked for respect from my biggest client. I now have a new contract worth some very respectable $. #
• Age differences, ideological diversity, client-designer issues … Whatevs … when it comes right to it I REALLY like these people. #
• A news blurb during a commercial break just announced there's a ZEBRA running loose on I-85 near Charlotte. This is a real party town! #
• Hey, is there a new Burn Notice on tonight? 'Cause I'd really love to watch Burn Notice in HD!! #
• Morning in Charlotte. Bright and sunny yet again. Another few hours of meeting, then back to the airport for the TSA Cavity-Search Festival. #
• Well, at least Charlotte Airport has free wi-fi. I've got two hours before boarding. Anything fun going on out there? #

• If corporations have the legal standing of individuals, we should be able to try them and convict them of crimes, right? Nah, too simple. #
• Prediction: Once the Dresden Files RPG goes into the wild, the concept of marginalia-as-text-enhancement will be forever changed. #
• The best thing about Super Bowl Sunday night: Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett in the Robin Hood teaser. #
• I think if Scott Lynch saw the DresdenFiles RPG text, he'd walk into Evil Hat's sanctum & demand the same for the Gentlemen Bastards rpg. #
• I've managed to avoid MMORPGs until now but the siren call of the Brickheads has proven too much. I've signed up for the LEGO Universe beta. #
• I really ought to post something on the Harping Monkey. But commenting on other peoples' blog posts is so much more enticing. #
• I should leave my Tweetdeck open more regularly & keep up with Twitter. I've got folks saying good things about me that I almost missed! #

• Wait, hold up! Mandalorian dude is using a black-bladed lightsaber? From the Old Republic? Is this new or was that introduced previously? #
• J-Locke! Kagematsu! DresdenFilesRPG! Masks! So much to shout about, but all I have time to do now is tease you with it. Life dances on… #
• The writing & layout in the Dresden Files RPG is pure art. They use the voices of Butcher's characters to convey game concepts elegantly. #

• I think it’s becoming clear that the most likely of the predicted sci-fi futures we’re going to endure is the dystopian plutarchy. Yay. #
• … that’s what *she* said. #
• Dear local school system decision makers: I don’t care that you’re keeping schools open. My kids are not skating to school. Love, Mick #
• I’m jazzed to be recording an episode of Canon Puncture tonight. Yes, I’m still on CP. I’m the barnacle that stubbornly clings to the hull. #
• Time & distance play odd tricks. Right now I’m thinking those ‘08 Vegas After Midnight FATE rpg sessions ARE how the game should be played. #
• Rich [ @orklord ] and I recorded several segments for Canon Puncture last night, with @Judd_of_Kryos joining us. It was fun and energizing. #
• Dear President Obama: Please take time off from big issues to come here and give the principal of my son’s school a swift kick in the ass. #

• Fist-pumping jock joy over the Colts' win last night, giddy musical-theatre joy over Glee's win at the Globes tonight. That's just who I am! #
• I find myself digging deeply into various print and online resources to find as many synonyms and related words for 'fool' as I can. #
• We (the Canoneers) are pitching a new TV series tonight for Primetime Adventures. I'm a blank slate, as I should be – but I'm open to ideas. #
• We couldn't latch onto any killer PTA pitches last night, so we might be switching to a different game. I'll blog details when able. #
• After tonight, 11:30pm becomes reading and cuddling time again. These are good, so yay! … but I'll still miss Conan's antics. #TeamCoco #

• Spent last night and this morning without Internet. It's back now, but may go out again. But that's OK 'cause I'm playing checkers w/Liam! #
• We have no home Internet. You're seeing this update 'cause I'm quickly hopping on an open network. <oh the horror!> Overall, not fun. #
• New post at The Harping Monkey: "You Can Pull My Creativity Out of My Cold Dead Hand!" http://bit.ly/5qgAxv #ced2010 #
• Internet went out again this morning, now it is back – for now – but alas, we've already decided to switch our services from Insight to ATT. #
