Photo Ketchup

It has been a while since I emptied my camera, so I figured it was time for a photo catch-up post. First, I thought I would kill two birds with one stone.

Weekend Recap

As an aside: during this morning’s commute, I was introduced to Dokken’s version of Santa Clause is Coming to Town. It looks like ARG Netcast #42, live from the offices of 42 Entertainment, is out.

As responses are written, links … Continue reading Roundtable: ARGs As Serious Fun

Today in dirt-worshiping, granola-eating, tree-hugging news…

Today we watched An Inconvenient Truth for the first time. I actually bought the used DVD from Netflix last month for a few bucks, but just now got around to watching it. We are now, officially, on 100% renewable power. I signed us up for the PGE Renewable Future plan.
