My doorbell ceased to function a few days ago. I only noticed ’cause, as a complete fluke, I happened to be on my way out the door when a delivery arrived. The first time I watched the guy through the window as he filled out two forms, put ’em in my mailbox, and left. I […]

I received in the mail today two of the newest NIntendo Official Magazines from the UK, with articles in ’em that I wrote. I’m very excited. =D Here’s a link to a few of them; these are single-column or single-page short versions, and I’m happy to say I was allowed to slam the games when […]

I’m not particularly against this, tho it’d have been nicer if I could choose my own sound… Recently we were taking care of a kitten, a very cute photogenic kitten, and I […]

Today I got sick of the loose power connector on this IBM thinkpad laptop (i-series, model 1445 if you care) so I took it’s ass apart and beat it into repaired submission. The IBM is a piece of junk compared to the Sharp Mebius Muramasa I just finished repairing. It was a nightmare of screws […]

I realize it’s short notice, but what the hell. Tomorrow at around 1:30pm Tokyo time (that’s 8:30pm North American WestCoast time) I’ll be doing a rock’n game-tune set for about 45-60 minutes. High-energy tunes from games you know, and ones you don’t. You won’t be bored! http://nfggames.com/radio/
