Liz is in Orlando… so all you Orlando peeps should try and hang out. She’ll be there for a week or so. I miss her already. 🙁 I’ll be down for a visit sometime this winter though… with Liz. See you then. (I’m personally looking forward to visiting my sis in Jax). 🙂 In other…
“High Speed” Internet…
I don’t have cable TV, but I do have a landline phone so instead of cable internet, I have DSL. Well, lately it’s been dog-ass slow. And today I decided to check the speed out. We were cruising at a miserly 300kbps. Which, yes, is a lot faster than a modem, but it ain’t no…
Questions for D&D Minis Championship Interviews
Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. Due to some prodding and begging by yours truly (and a little help from my friends), I was able to convince Ian to include me in the reporting crew for D&D Minis at GenCon. In order to be fully prepared for the…

Quick Review: Queen & Country
Finally had an opportunity to sit and read Queen & Country: Operation: Broken Ground, a modern spy comic book series by Greg Rucka and Steve Rolston. Greg Rucka is a fantastic writer that made his debut with the thriller mini-series, Whiteout. Rolston is a bit of an odd choice for this story. His clean lines…
LA GUNS! Tonight!
There is probably only one person on my friends list that will appreciate this… but L.A. Guns is playing tonight… right here in Shampoo-Banana! LOL http://www.thehighdive.com/modules/calendar_ve/index.php?op=day&day=20070413 –sam p.s. And no, I won’t be going… I’ll be drinking around the corner at the Blind Pig instead.
