Galaxy Trucker This is a two part type boardgame that has distinct mechanics in each part. There is the planning or building stage and then, the action stage. The first part consists of a race to build your ship. You want to have weapons and shields and cargo space and crew quarters, but you do [...]
RT @Schwarzenegger – I do still have the Conan sword, and I keep it in my office. Here's a picture — http://twitpic.com/f92jm # Working on SSIS article, debugging two web services, one is C# and Linq, the other VB.net… Wish I could just watch Doctor Who… # Powered by Twitter Tools

The picture to the right is how I will remember Favre. Not in a Jets uniform, not as a Minnesota Viking… I have always been a Favre fan. I like his style of play. Sling the ball, hope for a good play, take risks… I think that his bravado has led to many interceptions but [...]
Well, I hope to finally get my motorcycle permit next month. I am taking the class at Liberty Harley-Davidson. One day of class, with two days of riding. Should be okay, we aren’t using the mammoth Harleys. I got my temps last year and rode my mother-in-law’s motor scooter for practice, but discovered that if [...]
So, I don’t like the Travel deck… It made this game a Traitor’s paradise. Every time, we tried to get something going, we were lost in the woods or ambushed. Some might say that it made the game harder, I though it made the game frustrating. I have played SoC a number of times without [...]

Two links on the same day, what am I doing? Here is another great article using hard data to prove that selling software for less money makes you more money. Since you sell more units when you sell software cheaper, you make more money. The study (using Valve’s Steam software distribution) found that a sale [...]

Another link post for today (I’ll get my Monday and Wednesday reviews up today, I promise!). I was watching the Top Chef Masters show on Bravo and they had a comment about buying pasta instead of making it. This post explains that you make “fresh pasta” and you BUY dry pasta! This post also has [...]
