Axis Empires

I haven’t blogged about boardgaming on here in a LONG time. That doesn’t mean I’ve quit gaming (though I honestly don’t remember the last time I played a miniatures game), but I’m down to three or four sessions a month. Those sessions generally get blogged on the blog I share with Myk Deans, Two Sid

Reading stats (caution – numbers ahead)

Two years ago, I got a Kindle as a combined birthday/christmas present. It has fundamentally changed my reading patterns. I’m reading a lot more now than ever before. The Kindle nearly eliminates the friction from reading. I’ve since moved on to a Kobo Touch as my primary reader, but that’s an imple

Progress on those unfinished series

Best reads of 2011

This post is inspired by another “Best Reads of 2011″ post, and I thought it was a good idea. What follows are the ten best books I read (or listened to) in 2011. I don’t do re-reads, so all these were first-time experiences. (As of right now, I’ve got 63 entries on Goodreads that I [...]

User purge

To the small number of actual, authentic, users on here: I’m deleting your account. I apologize for this, but I’m currently being it with a huge wave of spam posts. (Over 300 per day. My filters are catching them, but it’s pointing to a problem with how I have the user/comment system structured.) Th

About those unfinished series…

…I’ve been making good headway since I last posted. I’ve read Ganymede, Sourcery, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. I’m also about 3/4 through The Magician King. (Damn, listening to the chapters on Julia’s backstory is depressing. And I thought Quentin was bad…) Also, Ganymede might be the best of the

Book series update

Wow. Those might be the fastest four months in history. Has it really been that long since I posted on here? Sorry about that. Anyway, I wanted to give a little reading update. It’s (obviously) been a while. I’ve noticed that, while I haven’t been reading as many books as last year, they’re tending

Slippery Slopes

I had a great little mini-conversation on twitter centered around Michael Vick. While we ended our discussion agreeing to disagree, it did raise a couple interesting questions in my head. If you haven’t heard, Nike has re-signed Vick to an endorsement deal. I haven’t looked into the particulars, and

2011 Hugo Award for Best Novella – How I’m voting

For those that don’t know, a Novella is a piece of fiction between 17,500 and 40,000 words. (Anything over 40,000 words is considered a Novel.) Most novella these days are published in magazines, though some only appear in bound collections. Of the five nominees this year, four are available to read
