Board Game Arena is an excellent service with one tiny flaw:

Every time I play a good game on there I end up buying the physical version.

Oh wait, that might be a problem with me, not with the website. 🤔

Some good news. This is hyper-personal but it's the only good news I can think of at the moment.

In September I was diagnosed as type II diabetic.

In my latest follow up with my doctor my blood glucose (A1C) was down into the "not diabetic" range. Meaning that I still need to be careful, but what I've been doing is working and if I stay on this course I'm unlikely to see any negative side effects.

I've been a "centrist" or 'non-aligned" voter for my entire voting life. There are things that I agree with in both parties and things with which I disagree.

But the last 24 hours have guaranteed my vote for the Democratic party for the foreseeable future. The republicans have done more to make me a democrat than any democrat ever could have. Not that I fully agree with the Dems now; but everything I can do to stop the GOP from getting more power must be done.

Dear the rest of the world,

I’m very sorry my country is like this. I thought we raised them better. I was wrong. I’m so tired of being ashamed of my government and feeling powerless to change it.

Just saw a notification on my #plex server, so I ran the update. Didn't realize until after it was complete that I was listening to music via PlexAmp. it didn't even stutter. Pretty impressive!

After years of saying I was going to do It “someday”, I’m finally starting a #dnd5e campaign with my kids, who range in age from teen to tot. This should be interesting. They all had letters to their characters taped to their bedroom doors last night, inviting them to board a ship...

This week’s #mst3k morning was, of course, “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians”. Spoiler alert: he conquers, at MOST, three martians.

Everyone talks about "Introverts" and "Extroverts", but what about "Controverts"?

Or are those just online trolls?

I had a phone meeting with one of my many doctors yesterday, to discuss my blood glucose readings. I sent them the spreadsheet I'm using to track my diabetes and they were very impressed by all the graphs and stuff I'm doing. I said "this is what happens when an MBA gets diabetes" and then we joked about further statistical analysis. Ahhhhhh nerds have fun. #silverLinings

one of the benefits of working from home: slippers and giant wool socks. Yes I am one thousand years old.

Barely made it. #NaNoWriMo

You know that feeling where you meant to format a secondary external drive for a machine you're setting up, but instead you format your current system's backup hard drive?

No?

That's just me?

Okay, as you were then.

Apple’s “Books” app does a better job of syncing, and my @write_as blog looks pretty good as an eBook on my phone!

thanks to the magic of @write_as my current #NaNoWriMo project is now available as a rough and ready e-book, if you like reading on e-ink readers or dedicated reader software instead of on the web.

And honestly, who could blame you?

Anyway, free epub downloads here:
