The game show blues
This is one of those video-game-convention oriented topics, so if you’re one of those non-video-game-convention oriented folks, this is probably one to skip. … Read more

Fried-day
According to my WordPress dashboard, this is the 1,000th blog entry I’ve made. That’s either very impressive, or I’m a very sad little man. Either way, I guess that’s as good an excuse as any for rambling on at great lenght about a bunch of stuff that nobody else is interested in – I mean, that’s the very heart of blogging, isn’t it? … Read more

Seeing spots
Just for fun, a couple of the interstitial spots that I worked into the looping DVD display shown lasy weekend at OEGE.
theLogBook.com 20th Anniversary Spot
Phosphor Dot Fossils Brown Box Spot
They drag on a little bit longer than you’d expect a normal TV spot to, but they’re kinda there to grab the eye without vanishing the next time that eye blinks. Given that not many DVDs wound up selling, maybe they didn’t do what I wanted them to.
Enjoy!… Read more

Egging them on
Evan’s day care had an Easter Egg hunt on Friday, though it was held indoors since we had nasty storms blow through on Thursday night (of which more in a bit). What a haul! And what the heck is some of this stuff? Eggs with little cars in them? Eggs with Play-Doh in them? Man. It’s almost becoming a cliche at this point, but they didn’t have stuff like that when I was his age – at least not in Easter Egg form! … Read more

Big Bother is watching
I really miss my best friend. And by that, I mean the little guy I’ve been hanging out with for much of the past two years. Somewhere, and I missed the memo that outlined exactly when this was going to happen, I have ceased to be Evan’s best buddy and have become the Oppressor. I am the chief sayer of NO, the prime minister of Don’t Do That, the executive vice president of Get Down From There, and the man in charge of Put That Back Right Now. I always suffix these things with a “please,” and reward them with a “thank you!” and a “good boy!”, but that doesn’t change anything. I am now the primary setter of limits. I have become Authority incarnate. I’m no longer lovable Dad: I’m a barrier to be rebelled against. … Read more

Just about ready
Here’s a great big diaper box full of DVDs headed to Oklahoma City with me this weekend – hopefully no one will think that the contents are full of crap! 😛 I’m a few more copies of the Brown Box twin-pack away from being finished with both duplication and packaging. I’m amazed I haven’t killed an inkjet cartridge yet, with the dark “woodgrain” cover on the Brown Box.
Those not making it to OEGE this weekend who have pre-ordered will probably get their copies early next week – I may mail some out as early as Thursday. Now, ready to see something else cool? … Read more
