In no particular order:

  • I have my syllabus polished up and submitted so that I can head back to teaching in two weeks
  • Wintry weather is great except when it comes all at once
  • I guess I’m being pulled in too many directions to participate in the Public Domain Game Jam 2024
    • The idea would’ve involved doing something with early Hardy Boys
    • A hack of Lasers and Feelings would’ve been easiest to get off the ground in time available
    • Yes, I realize a one-page RPG related to the Hardy Boys might be weird yet consider the times we find ourselves in
    • The guys from the Linux Matters podcast have made games before so I think even they could manage a one-page RPG of some sort
  • The local newspaper is shrinking further
    • The two remaining writers are taking turns as to days for writing the majority of the paper’s content
    • This is not sustainable
    • The stories that are reaching print are fairly short
    • It is more likely than not that the two writers are missing things since they can’t be in two places at once
  • Getting outside the house would be nice if it weren’t so stinking cold…
