When you have plans to post something, and you’re pretty sure it’s interesting, and then in the process of trying to do so you realize you forgot your username, and then in the process of figuring it all out you finally log in, and then have no idea what you’d originally planned to post about. […]
So it’s not a new thought – I’ve had it before, and posted it before (hell, maybe here – I’m too lazy (no, no, too inspired) to check), but I’m thinking about the costs of games again. So here comes a rambling discourse on stuff. There are a lot of different ways to pay for […]

I know, it’s not entirely new. But I’m still occasionally surprised to realize how odd it is that I can freely refer to my wife and daughter by multiple names. Specifically, by their online handles. Names certainly have a power – ancient peoples knew it, and then we forgot it, and now, it’s back with […]
For me, coming out of the basement means something else.
