Because I don’t have anything coherent to say, I will resort, as many others have, to Bullets of Random Craptm: Soccer today. Two games. We haven’t had soccer in a while because it’s rained every Saturday for a month. I’m really not in the mood. GTD: Want to tackle the bedroom closet. Also kind of…

Increasingly, I am actually doing what I was hired to do. That might seem odd, but in my field, it’s easy to get sucked into doing related, but unproductive work. Let me explain. I’m a techie. As a techie, I know how to do lots of techie things–from html coding to video editing to using…

Suzanne Freyjadis-Chuberka, director of the women’s gaming conference, chastised the gaming industry publications for marketing primarily to men. She especially criticized their use of overt sexuality in marketing. I don’t consider myself an avid gamer, but I have always enjoyed video games and there has been, historically, a male aura around them. From the days…
