Newbie Blogger Initiative goes live!

Games are fun. Right? It’s only natural to want to share that fun with other people, as fun is multiplied by the number of friends with whom you share it. A couple years ago, a bunch of people who were planning to have fun playing Mythic’s Warhammer MMO had had so much fun being excited about the game before it was even released, that they just had to share it. They got together and all launched blogs and started writing about it – and now many of them are among the top MMO bloggers in the industry. ...

Running: Nearing the Threshold

Beware, Joggers Today’s run was a little better than Monday’s. 5.3 mph vs 5.2 mph, so when I say a little better, that’s what I mean. However, I ran nearly all the first two miles without any sort of walk break, and only needed maybe a 30 second walk before I headed into and finished the third mile. When I finished the 5K, I was more exhausted than I usually am, but in just a couple minutes I felt great. Warmed down with the walk home and some stretches and Wii Fit-taught yoga poses. ...

Manchester Road Race: I'm so gonna die.

* After biking through the course for the Manchester Road Race this morning, I really have to hand it to the course designers. Sure, it would be nice if it weren’t partially up the side of Mount Everest, but the steep ascent only lasts for the first couple of miles, after which there’s a steep DOWNhill followed by a flat stretch of a couple miles and then another downhill race to the finish line. ...

Bulls Bridge

Today I visited the Bulls Bridge in Kent, CT. The bridge crosses over the Housatonic (HOOS-a-tonic) river onto a large island that splits the river in two for a ways; a more conventional bridge leads off it the other way. The Bulls Bridge is currently one of only two covered bridges in the state. When the Comstock Covered Bridge is rebuilt, there will be three again. Kent is in the beautiful Berkshires that extend north of here through western Massachusetts and up to Vermont, where they become the Green Mountains.In album Bulls Bridge (14 photos) ...

TV Watch: Being Human (UK)

I didn’t expect that a series about a ghost, a vampire and a werewolf living together in a Bristol flat would actually be a really compelling drama. I just had this idea it could only be a comedy. “Being Human” is a really great show. Aaaaaand the home page contains a spoiler. Which I didn’t know until I linked it.

TV Watch!

Last night I finally got around to watching Terra Nova, which had the cop actually do some detecting. The producers had the perfect opportunity to get the annoying teenager and his girlfriend eaten but screwed it up again. I’m hoping they don’t wait for the season (series?) finale to make him dino-chow.** Also watched the start of Glee**. This is a show I love so much, or loved. They had one of the winners of The Glee Project finally show, but the part of the episode I watched was just painfully unfunny stuff about Sue Sylvester trying to kill all the arts programs in Ohio while Elphaba and Mercedes are trying to recruit the girls from the Glee club to form a rival club. This show may have lost its core of friendship and good humor forever. Well, it was a good two years.** ...
