I have weird dreams. Ask me sometime about my recursive nightmare or ‘invisible pee from five feet up’ ones from my childhood, or the infamous ‘riding naked with gangster John Kerry’ of 2004.
My brain seemed to want to end the year on a ‘the hell?’ note, so I had quite a few odd ones last [...]

All of my posts are essentially ‘Yeah, I’m not posting, because all of my time is going towards Gaming Shenanigans and Beer-O-Vision,’ aren’t they? Well, uh, sorry, because this one is no different.
This post is actually entirely useless except as a guinea pig one, a glorified lorem ipsum, because I’m testing a new theme for [...]

“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer.”
— Abraham Lincoln

He may have suspended habeas corpus, but he sure had a way with words.
The issue, as I see it, is [...]

In about an hour I’m going to go pick Elizabeth up and start driving to Boston. We’ll be there for a week, and it should be a lot of fun.
My coworker Brie just asked me if I was ready to become a Red Sox fan. I told her that being a fan of baseball is [...]

However, here’s a quick today-only special: Firefly the complete series is on Amazon’s Goldbox for $17.99: I think I paid $30 [...]

Cleaning up, I found a notepad from what I assume is the CIRRIE ICF conference from last year. There are three lines:
ICF-CY form (Lollar?)
<3
“terminological”
(the first line makes sense; I think the CY is the children’s version, and I recognize the name of Don Lollar, but the rest…)

I know what you’re thinking:

Dan, you post too much!

I know, right? Well, because my activity on this site is so fast and furious, I thought I’d spread it out more. I’m now writing on two other sites. I never claimed to have good judgment…
Gaming Shenanigans is a new site being run by my future-brother-in-law-in-law Dave [...]

In talking with my boss yesterday about brewing in Buffalo, she reminded me that the Erie County website has a map of Buffalo from 1894. You can click on the red numebrs in each section to zoom in, and there’s a surprising amount of detail provided: the type of building, number of floors, business name, [...]
