Pins And Needles Of The Brain
As you may be aware, I've gotten to be very good at Wii Sports Tennis. My rating at the main game is now so high (about 2200) that the line representing my progress breaks free from the top of the graph and is beginning to underline the title at the top of the screen. It's …

Tuesday, 7pm (tonight) - the latest episode of Heroes, after it's hiatus, has broadcast, and I've got a nice HDTV copy of it. Want to get together and see it? It's just the one episodes, but if folks feel that way inclined, we might drift into a Jeramiah … -

In this blog post, instead, I'm going to talk about a very bed argument for voting. It's a very popular argument I've heard used …

The Best Thing About Being My Age
Please excuse the title, which feels at least a little like it could have been the proposed title for a creative writing project for a group of 7-year-olds, but it feels like the best title for the job. It's not, I know, but it's my blog and I don't care. I just wanted to share …

Razburgers
Rory's making some more of his delicious-looking all-steak burgers for tomorrow's barbeque. If you want one (and are willing to pay for the mince!) drop him a comment on his blog.
This evening, I kicked off with a few hobbies I've neglected lately, starting brewing some wine and juggling some fire on the beach. It's amazing … -
Castle Master Meets Dan In Bed
Time for another episode of Dan's bizarre dreams. Here's last night's:
At least to begin with, the whole dream was animated like an early 3D computer game - with a certain Castle Master feel to it - but became less and less like a game as the story went on. I was in some kind … -
