This report doesn’t contain any confusing lingo, and even those with no Warhammer 40k experience will be able to understand it. I was excited to play my first real game of 40k, at a tournament no less, even though I did not have my army with me. I instead played with whatever I could whip […]

Tidbits
Random things I’ve learned while here: If you’re cooking meat and don’t know if you’ve cooked it long enough, do not take a bite out of it to check. Squishy = bad. Rock climbing barefoot is an exercise in pain tolerance. Don’t do it. A sunny day can and will turn to rain soon enough. […]
No, that’s not iced tea
I was told to do something crazy. Well, this one’s for you, Jen. Company took us out to the Beer Engine in order to welcome us to Exeter. Everything was on the house, and this was perhaps the safest place I could do it in terms of company and self-restraint, not to mention I was […]
Ow. Pain.
Walked over six miles today. It’s 1.2 miles to work and 1.5 miles to the gym, much of it uphill. It’s 1.5 miles from work to the shopping center/centre, and another .5 miles back home. Home -> work -> stores -> home -> gym -> home. If nothing else, I’ll be more than prepared for […]

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time…
I was a little nervous last night, but today I’m simply excited. Not for the trip to England, no, I’m excited because I’m going to be flying business class. A few years ago this would have been called “first class” but airlines thought that having to fly “economy” was too degrading so they changed economy […]
My name is Steven, and I provide services selectively.
Yesterday was my second annual visit to the Licensing International Expo. Held at the Jacob Javits Center, it’s a convention that brings together brand owners and investors interested in licensing them. It gathers businesspeople of all stature, from independent artists in a one-man booth to industry giants in expansive and elaborate showcases. The expo is […]
Unfortunately, rule lawyers are even less liked than regular lawyers
I like technology. Technology needs documentation written about it. Those proficient with technology are typically not as proficient at writing. I am proficient at writing. I like writing. I like manuals. Manuals need to be written. Let’s recap: I like technology. – Very common. I like writing. – Not quite as common paired with the […]
Incorrect predictions
I thought that I would absolutely love fencing, find rock climbing interesting, and dislike drumming. Instead, I am passionately missing drumming, eagerly awaiting rock climbing, and only mildly looking forward to fencing.
