Well, everyone else is going to be pointing to the all-in-one marvel, so I might as well too.

Man, I should have posted this on our anniversary - this is a picture that our good friends took the night Jodi and I got engaged, while in Altensteig, Germany. March 6, 1998. As of this picture, we had been engaged for, oh, about 20 minutes. I sure love you, |Jodi|!

Yes, that’s me with long hair.

Morbus Iff, and a cast of thousands (for a very tiny definition of ‘thousands’), have released a new GameGrene site, Ghyll. Ghyll is a RPG where players take on the role of a scholar documenting the history of an imaginary world called Ghyll. Based on the concept documented here, I think this is a really cool idea. Hypermedia rules.

Ghyll is different from previous Lexicons [...] because there is no pre-existing world for entries to derive from. We don’t know if the world of Ghyll is fantasy, cyberpunk, sci-fi, horror, or all of the above. Ghyll is a blank slate, and will be defined and finessed by our entries. Anything goes until everyone knows.

Update: More on Ghyll from it’s other founder, Sean Palmer.

A good friend, Don, introduced me to a couple bands last week, and I’ve been listening to them ever since.
