"They deserved better." Were words found graffitied on a concrete wall beneath the overpass in the rain. And the words were true, red paint stain running down into a black drain.
But truth did not justice make.

Life - On Pax
Life - On Pax
It's taken me a few days, but I've started to put some of my thoughts to paper finally. I make...literally...no secret of the fact that Pax is reliably one of the best times of the year for me. For six years now, we've been attending Pax as gamers, and I now attend it as well as a developer.
For those that don't know, Pax is a conflagration of gamers hitting Seattle for the Labour Day Weekend. Over 4 days, games are literally celebrated. If you play games, there's probably something at Pax for you. And I don't just mean video games, although video games are a considerable part of that. Exhibitors show off the latest and upcoming in video games, technology and merchandise. Tabletop, board games, pen and paper, card games and deck building all show up and are played extensively everywhere. You literally can't walk fifteen feet without tripping over someone in a hallway playing Zombie Dice or Cards against Humanity. There are massive tournaments and tiny tournaments for games, everything from Towerfall tournaments to the League of Legends Championship Series that encompasses a hall for probably 5000+ people. People bring their personal computers and set up a massive LAN play area, there are retro consoles, and D&D, there are huge tournaments and a hundred panels to attend.
There's something for everyone, in our crazy community.

Reblog - A Gay Dad's Requiem on the Death of Fred Phelps
Reblog - A Gay Dad's Requiem on the Death of Fred Phelps
This is a reblog from http://evolequals.com/2014/03/16/a-gay-dads-requiem-on-the-death-of-fred-phelps/
I have been fighting for LGBT rights for a long, long time. Fred Phelps was not always in that fight, but it feels like he was. It feels like he has always been and always will be anti-gay hatred personified.

Life - Dishonest
Life - Dishonest
This might be a bit more...true to life than most of my writings. Anyway Patrick and I have been house hunting for the last month, either for a 2 bedroom place for ourselves or for a house that can enclose us and all our proverbial roommates at the moment, all of us orphans in Vancouver who have no family.
