Ok, so, I went from 1-2 posts a day (or most days) to almost nothing, and with it went, I feel, my writing skills. I've got to get back to it!We've been fairly busy of late. With our various food-related hobbies, bicycling, Ham radio, and my gaming… more »

Not dead. Just on a 2 week vacation. :) I'll be back at work Monday 6/28 and will be doing a blog series @ Nomadic Gamer on MMOing under Linux - sort of. Heh. Anyway - received my license and call sign from the FCC a few days after the last post -… more »

As of yesterday morning, I'm a licensed ham radio operator. I passed both Technician and General class exams - and my wife passed Technician! We don't have our callsigns yet, as it takes a few days for the FCC to get it into their database, but it shou… more »

I'm still not dead. :D I just haven't written, as I realize about 98%+ of people that come here are probably looking for gaming-related posts. I'm planning to do all my gaming blogging @ Nomadic Gamer, as I'd mentioned before, but I've not had any to… more »

How's that for an interesting collection of unrelated hashtags!? Well, that's what happens when you blog about everything you're doing, rather than focusing on one subject. ;)I haven't written much lately, mainly because there hasn't been a lot to w… more »

Yup, I'm still alive. Just not posting much, as it's 9°F outside, which makes it too cold to participate in two of my main hobbies. ;)It's not too cold to game, though, and I am gaming, still playing Dragon Age - on my second play-through of the… more »

... other than just general "stuff."It's too cold and windy to ride, so we're not able to do that. It's also too cold to paint, so I've got no new awesome rocket pictures to show. I'm working on getting back into R/C flying, but the items haven't a… more »

I haven't written a lot this week as there isn't much to write about! It's getting cold here already, so hobby activities tend to slow down. I've got finish painting some rockets, but I've been waiting on a > 60°F day to do it. Looks like I'm not… more »

Since it's The Law™, we needed a road trip to break in our new car. There's some people we've been MMO gaming with for many years, that only live around 100 miles away, and we've never done the in-person meeting thing. Heh. Yeah, I know... silly… more »

Here, for the first time, pictures of an actual Soul!: more »

Yeah, I haven't been posting nearly as much recently. Mainly because there isn't a lot that's post-worthy. The car thing, that was post-worthy, and it got posted. Hobby stuff, well... The Omega's @ Chad's being worked on. I was having issues finding… more »

For our past 3 or 4 car loans -- and this dates back to around 1999 -- we've rolled forward a not small amount of negative equity. It was fairly small at first, but gradually got pretty big, and needed to be taken care of. We'd decided it was time to… more »

Yeah, going back to work after a week off SUCKS. Suck suck suckity suck. Anyway. I'll be getting a new Mini Ultra Stick in the air this week -- this time with the full quad flap setup for all kinds of fun tricks. Should be fun. It'd be in the air… more »

Haven't had a chance to write in several days; was a busy 3-day weekend for us. Started by taking Friday off to attend Hoosier Hills Fiber Arts Festival. It was a fun road trip, and a lot of fun wandering around and seeing all the ... stuff ... for… more »

NEWS FLASH: THIS JUST IN: Chad isn't selling out of the hobby! Thank the gods (that don't exist)! Woot. That is all. Film @ 11. more »

I haven't posted in several days, mainly because there isn't much worthy of posting about. I'm waiting on several shipments which comprise all the stuff I need to get the Helios in the air -- all that stuff will be here by Friday. Weather has been not-… more »

Other than the post below this one, detailing my own Local Economy Stimulus Package, I've got quite a bit going on. It's getting to be Spring again, which means I can finally take part in outdoor hobbies again soon! Mainly that means RC flying for me… more »

Yeah, well, another 6 months gone by. I'm down to 189lbs (from originally 400+). Wearing 32 waist (and probably could use 30) pants. Originally 54 and they were tight. She's down to 175 or so, from a little over 300. It's been awesome. :) One thi… more »
