Greetings, internet citizens! Thanks for coming by and exercising your eCivic Right to amusing internet links. You are what makes this interweb the best interweb in the world.

Humpday Links for March 20

Guten Tag, nerdlings! Going to keep things short and sweet; I have to prepare myself, physically and spiritually, to attend a book launch tonight. Which you should attend, by the way.

Grab Bag

Today is going to be a bit of a grab bag on the blog. I had considered not posting until tomorrow as I have a busy day ahead of me, but then I thought, “Nah!”. Riveting insight into the mind behind Renaissance Dork… I’ll throw up short blurbs about things as they occur to me…

Find Your Work a Home

Late, short and sweet, that’s the story of today’s post. Busied myself most of the day with writing of one kind or another, none of which was a blog entry. But since I sailed right through Monday with nary a whisper I thought I’d at least take a break between my writing and editing to…

(Note: For this post, I’ll be focusing on Kickstarter as it relates to the gaming industry and community. Some things may apply to other creative avenues; your mileage may vary.)

Humpday Links for March 6

March in Edmonton has come in like some sort of lamb/lion hybrid, as I’ve come to expect from the prairies under global warming. Before we get too overwhelmed with thoughts of the impending weatherpocalypse, let us enjoy these special links from around the internet. – If you’re a gamer popping the big question, why not…

READ AN RPG BOOK IN PUBLIC WEEK

One of the things I really love about the geek community are the holidays we have made for ourselves. It’s something I’ve not noticed other hobbies doing, but possibly because I’m just not in that group. Do model railroaders celebrate the anniversary of the creation of HO Scale? Do football fans have a National Pigskin…

Humpday Links for February 27

As February draws to an end and we realize we’re about to start the third month of the year (holy effing crap, where did the first two months go!?), let us enjoy these links together. Well, not together, I mean by the time you read this I’ll have moved on to other things…whatever, enjoy. –…
