Going to be an uncle again soon...

Well, it seems my brother Mark and his wife Christine are due to become parents any day (hour?) now. I’m not sure when one of them will update their blogs, but I won’t steal their thunder unless they want me to post something.

Here’s hoping to an easy birth with no complications, and much love to the parents - the rollercoaster ride begins anon.

Make your saving throw against ridicule!

Live D&D (AD&D?) re-enactment video with added music soundtracks may become the next "Star Wars kid" phenomenon.

This video begs the question - are D&D players still considered the geekiest of geeks? Even with the internet and 1337-speak? What about UNIX and LINUX users? Is dork worse than geek, since geeks are often the computer programmers that make above-average salaries?

Speaking of which, I wish I were a bit MORE of a geek in that regard.
