Every once in a while, I set out on a mission and actually complete it. The mission in question for today was to find the stitch pattern used on one of my favorite cardigans so that I can make its replacement. Actually, this particular cardigan is the only remaining cardigan that I own, as the [...]

You know, when going through the stats for my website, I’ve noticed that I keep getting hits for “dice bag patterns.” I’m not quite ready to divulge any of my crochet dice bag patterns, as they will (hopefully) contribute to my livelihood, but I’m more than willing to share a basic recipe for making sewn [...]

I am churning out some more dice bags. It’ll be nice to have something to help fill up our table at Anime Mid-Atlantic. I still have to help brainstorm up some more traditional art, though, as Anime Mid-Atlantic frowns on artists that only have sewn objects to sell. I suppose they will count crochet and [...]

The TV drama is (hopefully concluded). Right before I left for Tekkoshocon, it was unexpectedly delivered. I opened the box, set it on the floor, and just admired the beautiful casing for several long moments. That’s when I decided it was time to put it on top of my TV stand. And failed. Did you [...]

Well, I’m back from Tekkoshocon and getting ready to reenter the real world (work, etc.). My costume was well received, the skits were great, and all in all, I think I speak for all of us when I say that we had a great time. We’ll definitely be trying to come back next year. My [...]

Well, it only took three calls to the Chase Bank Fraud Detection department (in which they asked me trick questions about places I had lived to discern my true identity and there are quite a few places that I’ve lived for very short periods of time, thanks to the Co-op program), but it looks like [...]

See, it really shouldn’t be this hard to buy a TV. I mean, honestly, what the hell? The real reason that my credit card didn’t work last week was because my $1300 purchase tripped the fraud detection. I didn’t realize this at the time, because they chose to notify me by phone and the number [...]

On last month’s episode, we were reviewing the TV buying options that you crazy kids have available. And I was hinting very strongly that an LCD TV was in my future. Well, this one woman’s attempt to buy a TV has reached somewhat more exciting proportions. I won’t say epic, but it has strong archetypal [...]

Well, I’ve been digging through my old layouts, and I’ve stumbled across another one that I thought might be ready to be released into the wild. It’s called Landscapes, and it’s a color/style respin of my old Splash of Color layout. I even made up a splash page for this layout, since I thought I [...]

You can read the full script of the game “Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time” over at GameFAQs, but I must admit, the entire Mario RPG series is excellent. Particularly the Mario & Luigi spinoffs. If you’ve played both or either of them, I think you know what I mean. So far, we have Super [...]
