For Christmas, I made The Old Man a piecepack. For those who haven’t heard of it (and I hadn’t til researching Christmas gift ideas), the piecepack is “a set of boardgame parts that can be used to design and play a wide variety of games.” It contains tiles, coins, pawns and dice in four colorful suits. It’s public domain and a couple hundred rule sets have been published out on the web. Here are the photos. It was easy, as supplies came fit for purpose from http:/ www.craftparts.com. Not recognizing the ...

RSS Feeds: Way Too Sexy. September 15, 2010 at 10:53 pm. My company has banned RSS feeds from all our company media and web sites. To my company, “RSS feed” sounds like “web 2.0”, which sounds like “social media”, which, if accepted, will most assuredly usher in an era of interns posting pictures of their boobs on their company SharePoint profiles. In their quaking fear, my company has not yet noticed the true power of RSS feeds, which lies in a company’s ability to publish their own. Me: But —. Me: Ok, ...

Archive for October, 2009. Balloon Boy: The Likelihood it Was a Hoax, and How I Feel About That. On Thursday afternoon I was trying to do some boring paperwork when I kept overhearing the excited voice of the sporty macho-man manager on the phone in the office directly behind me. He was laughing with nervous glee at the fact that a 6-year-old boy had climbed into his dad’s homemade weather balloon and drifted away. If reports are to be believed, the dad called the media before calling the police. Designe...

Archive for May, 2009. Urban Crime vs. Redneck Crime: An Analysis. When I moved to Indianapolis, my Mom was concerned about the big-city crime. But I’ve experienced far more crime in Evansville and in the neighboring small towns where I grew up. My rural friends think that’s weird. On the flip side, thanks to those early years, I now lock my car doors when I stop for gas in Anderson if there is a shopping bag from the Dollar Store in my back seat. My urban friends think. 8212;————...8212;——&#...You leave...

Archive for May, 2010. Feel the Pain — er, Rain. No one else can feel it for you. Only you can let it in. No one else, no one else. Can speak the words on your lips. Drench yourself in words unspoken. Live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten. Why I must be assaulted with this vapid song every time I set foot into Kroger is anyone’s guess. Who is this woman? Who allowed her to sing? Will someone please stab her in the eye with a fork? Where are these...

She caught me hurrying along in the hall later and stopped me, asking “What is it you need to know about my request? 8221; The following conversation ensued. Me: I need to know the URLs to those links you wanted posted. Her: What do you mean? Me: The URLs. The addresses. Her: I’m not sure I’m following you. Me: What is this stuff you want posted? Me: I don’t know where that stuff is, and I need to know that, if you expect me to create links to it. Me: For...

Sent to Trident Today:. February 22, 2010 at 11:21 pm. Your fiddly new drug-paraphenalia-inspired packaging falls apart and spills gum all over my purse, causing me to lose about 30% of it per package. Since I’m losing money, it now makes sense to spend more on Altoid gum, whose packaging does not fall apart. Don’t think you have to build a metal tin to compete, however. The good old fashioned paper/foil wrapping found on all gum was good enough for me and others for the last, what, fifty years? Create a...
