While it wasn’t as cold out as it was earlier this year for my Quadrantids watch, it still felt like 27°F according to The Weather Channel. Luckily there was no wind really, so that helped. Still, it was bundles of clothes, blankets and a cup of piping hot chocolate (with some Bailey’s mint creme, mmm) […]

Quadrantid Report
January 4th, 2012 · 3 Comments · Personal
Forecasts were good for the Quadrantid meteor shower set to peak this morning so I decided to check it out since this was one of the yearly showers I had not yet witnessed. Of course, although we’ve been having very above-average temperatures around here the past few weeks last night it decided to plummet close […]

Perseids Watch 2011
August 11th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Personal
It’s that time of year again for the dust from comet Swift-Tuttle to come crashing into our upper atmosphere with spectacular effect. I wasn’t planning on starting the party early but the skies were totally clear tonight after some late evening clouds moved out so I decided to give it a go although the peak […]

Beanbag champion of da world
June 26th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Personal
I was over at Rick’s house today to barbeque on his new deck, and we played some beanbag toss (officially know as Cornhole) in both singles and doubles. Besides winning every game I played in, there was one particularly epic game ending that must be recorded. My teammate and I were ahead by a few […]
Reflecting on 10 years of working with GDNet
June 17th, 2011 · 3 Comments · GameDev.net, Personal
Transcribed from my GDNet Journal Gaiiden’s Scroll 12:25pm, June 18th 2001 an email was delivered to my Hotmail Inbox. It was a Monday and I was probably still in school, a high school Senior ready for my final year of formal education to be over. I probably only had a few days left of classroom […]

Flight Log – Memorial Day Fly
May 31st, 2011 · 2 Comments · Gaming, Personal
Wow has it really been just under 2 months since I’ve last flown?? Yikes I’m afraid so! Luckily in that space of time I’ve still been really productive, churning out over a dozen new airports for MSE Airports and also getting nominated for an AVSIM Reader’s Choice Award in freeware scenery. I don’t expect to […]

Help! Broken folder redirection in WordPress 3.1
February 24th, 2011 · 3 Comments · Personal
Update: I’ve changed my URL redirect to point to the default Blade Edge domain for now until I have more time to take this on after GDC, so the redirect loop isn’t reproducible anymore for the time being. Any of my WordPress guru readers want to lend me a hand real quick? Here’s the deal […]
Hard drive update
December 10th, 2010 · No Comments · Personal
Almost 4 months ago I posted up a DIY tutorial on how to create suspended hard drive racks to fit in a 5.25″ drive bay. This was done with 3.5″ desktop hard drives but I can’t see any reason why it would not also work with 2.5″ laptop hard drives as well. To help your […]
