Fear

I’ve been pondering today. I started out by reflecting on Olivia’s birth and people’s reactions to the fact that we chose to birth unassisted. I was struck by how much people fear childbirth, from the pain to possible complications and beyond. And the …

The Magic Button

When I came back to Canada I wanted to get a phone with a good data plan.  I didn’t really care for the whole Apple fanboy culture and always planned on jailbreaking the phone at first opportunity to be able to put the software on that I wanted.
I’ve had mp3 players before, I like that [...]

Epic Failure

So, this was supposed to be post number one of what I figured would probably be 3 posts going through the Battle of Angoville. And it actually was quite a battle! A third of the way through, I was up 500-228. In the end, I won 119-0. It was a HUGE turnaround from the US, [...]

Arathi Basin

Writing yesterday’s post on Strand of the Ancients gave me a bit of insight in to how I want to approach this series. I think it may be more interesting if I focus a bit less on the rules and more on the experience.Battle SynopsisArathi Basin is a mid-…

Number 90 In Your Programs, and Number One in Your Hearts

Today, I’ll look at the defensive side of the ball for the Houston Texans, outlining who I think will start, and writing a little about them.
Free Safety: Eugene Wilson – Wilson came over from New England, last year. He’s a corner/safety, the same as Marcus Coleman was when he was here. It’s nice [...]

Weekend Get Away

I’ve finally been given a weekend to get away. To just relax and not have to worry about work, not have to worry about being on call, well that’s not true I’m ALWAYS on call however I won’t be checking my e-mails or any alerts. If there is anything m…

I’m sorry, no i’m not, and neither should you be.

There’s something I’ve learned about apologies.  Make them sincere, and if you can’t make it truly  sincere, but the apology must be said, make sure it’s for a good reason.  There’s nothing as obnoxious to me, as an insincere apology, or an apology for something not meriting of an apology.  Make apologies true and meaningful, [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen, your Houston Texans

Over the next little while, I’m going to be posting a few entries on the Houston Texans. Today, I’m going to go over what I believe will be the starting lineup on offense and my thoughts on each player.
Quarterback: Matt Schaub – Schaub has shown that he can be an extremely effective quarterback [...]

Of Best Laid Plans…

Well, I went ahead and played the game tonight. And…absolutely and thoroughly crushed the AI. I mean, it was an outright slaughter. I didn’t lose a single VP, which is RIDICULOUS. So, thinking it might just be the British faction that was having issues, I replayed the level against the Americans. They actually dropped my [...]
