December 22, 2010 – A game never played.
The giving away of games continues today. I got this Cranium game a few years ago — but never had the chance to play it. It goes on the RID pile today. I loved Cranium’s corporate mission when it started, … Continue reading
December 21, 2010 – Musings on “the after.”
I miss my old home in Seattle sometimes. I especially miss the first years I lived there, from 1989-1994 — when Seattle changed from “You’re moving where?” to “Man, that’s so cool! Seattle seems so great!” Nothing defines that time … Continue reading

The giving away of games continues today with Operation. I’ve always felt that this game is a bit of a game with no purpose. Sure, you can work to remove some of the parts of the patient – but does … Continue reading

If you’ve never seen VICE magazine, check out an issue. These books are both “best of VICE” collections. One, a collection of some of their best articles. The other is the best of their DOs and DON’Ts collection where they … Continue reading
December 15, 2010 – CDs, the J’s.
CD day today! The Highlights: Jay-Z — Nothing to say other than “I’m not a businessman, I’m a BUSINESS, man!” Jayhawks – It took me quite a while to warm up to these guys — but man, once I did… … Continue reading
December 14, 2010 – The Cuba RIDs – Some old shirts.
Today ends the items I’m leaving in Cuba. These shirts, all of which I like, but I just don’t wear nearly enough anymore…are headed to the RID pile. I brought them along to Cuba, just in case I needed to … Continue reading
