Gamestorm – a quick rundown
So I know I keep mentioning Gamestorm so I thought I would take a moment to explain what it is and why I love it. So to star the explanation, Gamestorm is a convention held annually in the Greater Portland area and is currently on its 13th year. The convention…
Old school dungeon mapping
So to kill some time today I was on Cafepress again cruising for new shirts to wear to this year’s Gamestorm Convention. I have already found my shirt for this year (see earlier post), but now I need a new on for my husband and our friend that comes too….
Modern Warfare – Cube Style
I am always on the look-out for gifts that can be classed as “Geek Gifts” as I never know when I will find a must have for my husband or kids, or even myself for that matter. Recently I shared a great shirt that I found online, and will be…

Tech support made easy
I came to this link from my friend Lori Chance, author of Who Am I?, via her Facebook profile. Though I typically do not share these sort of things I felt obligated to share this one as it is so accurate. Xkcd have a number of other comics too, and…
Wi-Fi Shirt
So after a discussion during dinner tonight we determined that the game room needs a clock. This is something that had not occurred to me as I could look through to the microwave in the kitchen and read the time just fine. However my near-sighted husband can not perform this…
