We're still alive. It's just that it's Winter and there's very little opportunity to do much of anything that's "blog-worthy." I'm sure once warm weather returns we'll be posting like mad again! Lizz and I decided not to finish the long series of e… more »

Haven't posted in a while - just not a lot going on to really write about. I'm playing EVE super-duper casually, participating in the Rift beta events as they happen (and as I get time), and have also activated one of my WoW accounts. A friend and I r… more »

It's been quite a while since I've written here. Mainly we've just been busy doing a ton of new things, and I haven't had much time to write. That, and to be honest, most of the things we've been doing aren't overly appropriate for discussion on a pub… 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 »

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 »

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 »
