Origins Game Fair Video Blog

I went to the Origins Board Game convention in Columbus in June, to cross swords and play miniatures against the best of them. Enjoy!

Looking sharp

Sometimes I think I would have loved the 1920s: three piece suits, hats and canes. But what would I do without my beloved science fiction authors...

Copy their style and sell their books before they were born of course.

Moon Landing

When I think about the moon landing, I always think about Michael Collins. He's the guy who manned the shuttle in orbit during the moon landing. Charles Lindbergh once said that on the day of the moon landing, he felt more in tune with Michael Collins than either of the other astronauts. They landed there 41 years ago.

41 years is a long time.

sidenote: My favorite astronaut/feat is probably Bruce McCandless. He's the guy who did the first untethered space walk.

crazy. I can't imagine what that would be like.

New Apple Product

So, Steve Jobs is having a big Apple Conference tomorrow, and I think Apple might be putting out a new product, after I came across this leaked promo picture...

New Shirt

So I saw this shirt at Banana Republic and I liked the look of it, but the price was a little much for me.

So, instead I bought this shirt at the thrift store:

Then I got rid of the buttons, and some extra fabric:

Sewed it up, ironed it a little, and ended up with this:

And now, how do I look wearing it? Something like this!

Got a little carried away.

Quoting books

"Actors are so fortunate. They can choose whether they will appear in tragedy or in comedy, whether they will suffer or make merry, laugh or shed tears. But in real life it is different. Most men and women are forced to perform parts for which they have no qualifications. Our Guildensterns play Hamlet for us, and our Hamlets have to jest like Prince Hal. The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast."

From `Lord Arthur Savile's Crime` by Oscar Wilde.

In and Around London.

On my way back from Kenya, I stopped in London for a week to see the sights and visit my friend John. I had a great time, what a great city! And I made this video for you all to enjoy.
