Checking out Diaspora – a future Facebook contender? August 26, 2011 at 11:11 pm ( Uncategorized. So for several months I’ve been interested in checking out. A new player in the social network arena, hoping to be attractive to people who are not fond of “the big guys” such as Facebook and Google tracking your every move and selling it to advertisers, among other privacy and content rights issues that sites like Facebook have had continual complaints about. But it had been months and I never got the invit...

So hey, did I mention I got married? January 31, 2012 at 10:48 pm ( Uncategorized. Yeah, things were crazy for a while, but they’ve been calmed down for a while although I’ve been working crazy amounts of overtime, and you’d think I would have been able to mention something about this by now. LabGirl and I were wed on October 15, 2011, just after 3:00. The guys and I showed up a few hours early to help decorate and set up, the lanterns and chandeliers presenting a bit of a challenge. The procession walke...

Oops. | Refractional Darkness
https://refractionaldarkness.wordpress.com/2011/08/29/oops
August 29, 2011 at 9:20 pm ( Uncategorized. So I’ve lived with Labgirl for I think close to 2 years now. That entire time we’ve had these hand-me-down dishes/bowls/etc that were pretty plain but did the job. In those two years, I managed to break not a single one. About two weeks ago, Labgirl had her bridal shower. Among the gifts we received during this shower were a number of placesettings of these beautiful, artsy, expensive plates and bowls.

Games I dig: Troyes | Refractional Darkness
https://refractionaldarkness.wordpress.com/2011/08/24/games-i-dig-troyes
Games I dig: Troyes. August 24, 2011 at 9:44 pm ( Gaming and RPGs. The one that I’ve been obsessing over the most lately, even though I don’t actually own it yet (and have doubts that I ever will), is Troyes. Although Troyes does have a board that is used extensively during the game, I would have to say this could be described as primarily a dice game. Each player gets a bunch of dice, and then what that players does with those dice determines how he or she fares in the game. Well, it is. It took me ...

https://refractionaldarkness.wordpress.com/2012/06/30/games-that-i-cant-get-anybody-to-play-and-im-not-sure-why
Games that I can’t get anybody to play (and I’m not sure why). June 30, 2012 at 11:17 pm ( Uncategorized. Because they all look like fun to me! Although this game has a strong following, it went out of print a while back – as a result, I went and had a knock-off made up using artwork created by another gamer:. One of the most popular games released in the last decade, this was given to me by my sister in law, one game was played between my wife and I. She decided she didn’t “get” it...Dominion is a ̶...

Martin Luther King Jr Memorial: Made in China | Refractional Darkness
https://refractionaldarkness.wordpress.com/2011/08/29/martin-luther-king-jr-memorial-made-in-china
Martin Luther King Jr Memorial: Made in China. August 29, 2011 at 6:41 am ( Political Ponderings. Yeah, I guess I can see how that could be seen as controversial these days – in the middle of a recession where at least part of the blame has been placed on outsourcing a large portion of our manufacturing industry to China. Standing in the shadow of the Washington Monument, the statue shows Dr King emerging from a mountain of Chinese. Granite with his arms crossed and is called The Stone of Hope. Is going ...

So, H.G. Wells Was A Gamer | Refractional Darkness
https://refractionaldarkness.wordpress.com/2011/09/01/so-h-g-wells-was-a-gamer
So, HG. Wells Was A Gamer. September 1, 2011 at 9:54 pm ( Gaming and RPGs. There’s actually a lot about HG Wells as a person to not like. He was a hardcore socialist. Based on his writing it seems he was racist and sexist. From what I’ve read it sounds like he was probably generally a jerk. But he wrote some good stories, including some very well known ones such as War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, and The Invisible Man. And how surprised I was to found two books about. In his list of works. But still...
