Steak + Sandals = Burned Feet

Common sense lessons you would think I’d have learned by now. When cooking something on the stove, steak for example, in a frying pan with very hot oil you do not want to be wearing sandals.

Civilization 5

I’ve been Civ free for almost 20 hours now. Though likely after I right this I’ll go back and play some more. Civ 5 came out at 7am for me on Tuesday, I played it basically all day that day (which I had off of work), then all after work Wednesday, then all day Thursday (when I should have been working from home). Have to say, I like it a lot, it is definately an improvement on Civ 4 (the version of Civ 4 that existed when it was released) but it isn’t without flaws.

226 Hours until Civ 5

226 hours until Civ 5 is released (10am on Sept 21st).

Nothing else to say, just counting down how long until my social life ends again and I am given over to the mantra of ‘One more turn… Just one more turn…’

The Fuller Memorandum by Charles Stross

The Fuller Memorandum is the third Laundry Files book by Charles Stross, and the first book that I bought and read on my Kindle. It was chosen as my first Kindle purchase because I enjoyed the last two Laundry Files books greatly and didn’t want to wait until this third one came out in paperback to buy.

With a Whimper and not a Bang

So after having had my Kindle for a day now, and already having finished reading one book on it and bought several others, I have realized that I may need to re-name my Kindle to WalletBane.

I love my Kindle

So I’ve been playing with my new Kindle for a little bit, and I have to say that I really do love it. Probably the first device or purchase that I’ve gotten in years that I look at and wonder how I got through the day without it.

Gaming Day

Been playing some StarCraft 2, Borderlands, DDO and Star Trek Online lately. Also, working on setting up a Dark Sun campaign.

What I’ve Read Lately – Aug 2010 – Part 2

So this is a couple of days late… I got delayed writing this by the time it took to scribe the long Neverwinter screed that is sticky’d right now, by goofing around in DDO and Borderlands, by working in my garden and reading other books. But enough is enough, here is the second half of my recent reading list.
