  • My first course on Pluralsight

    It’s happened. And it was much more work than I had originally anticipated. Much listening to (and cringing at) myself talk and trying to edit out all the “uh”s and “um”s (or as many as I could manage). Content wasn’t an issue, it was a matter of organizing the content into a structure and providing…

  • 2012 review and resolutions for 2013

    I don’t tend to do these resolutions posts because resolution posts are things you do when you can’t set your own goals and feel the need to announce publicly something you plan on doing to act as an impetus for actually doing it (by shaming you into doing it since it’s out in the public). But…

  • Easy-peasy Curry Sauce

    We had some leftover basmati rice from Indian food the other night. My daughter didn’t want it, so I decided to whip up a quick curry sauce and serve it over the rice with some tofu. Having had a small breakfast, this recipe scores points for being fast and simple enough that a geek like me…

    I just made a really awesome stir fry with some ingredients we just had lying around the house. I don’t consider myself a good cook (or, really, much of a cook at all), so I was surprised at how good this came out, considering it was sort of a “well, this sounds good” process of…

  • When I’m too smart for tech support…

    This isn’t the first time I’ve contacted web hosting tech support only to find out they couldn’t help me and managed to fix the problem myself. This time the support on the other end was HostGator. To their credit, the rep I talked to seemed to genuinely want to help. However, after 40 minutes it was…

  • Unbelievable: The IDF Has Gamified Its War Blog

    This was pretty much my reaction when I saw the Israeli Defense Force’s blog last night. Unbelievable: The IDF Has Gamified Its War Blog.

  • 3 things role playing has taught me about rules lawyers

    I spent a good deal of my college life roleplaying. It was a thing I did. In a very visceral way, you could say it changed my life. One thing it taught me about was “rules lawyers”. A “rules lawyer” is anyone (typically a non-lawyer) who prefers to live according to the letter of the…
