I've decided to remake my website, both in content and in style. As such, this represents the fruits of that labor. It is my intention to optimize the website for my utility, but secondarily this is not to be done at the expense of the utility of others, if at all possible. Certain pages, once built, will be specifically geared towards the utility of other viewers, with one exception: for the while, this website will be best viewed using Mozilla 2+ (CSS is handled slightly differently in Internet Explorer and I haven't alloted time yet to make spearate CSS files). I am still, at this time, debating whether I will make any previous versions of the website available. Comments are accepted at this time.

In re: 15 May 2008:
I seem to be actually enjoying the company of friends instead of blogging about it. Cool.

Eat my blog, man!

I still seem to loathe the activity of blogging. Not all of it. But the culture of blogging specifically as a placebo for actually having friends - that's what I can't stand. Some people no longer believe in the depth of friendships but rather in having the most people who are willing to be mutually listed as friends. The very definition of the word 'friends' has been so diluted that it is truly meaning less (two words, but soon to be one!). Nonetheless, I recognize that from time to time, announcements to all friends at once is more convenient than calling each and every one of them. This is not abusing the system as a placebo. I have a simple rule: contact individual friends more often than blog. Considering that I know that I'm bad at actually calling friends to do things, I don't much blog. Well, that, and my begrudgement at the aforementioned placebo effect.

It will be difficult to have predicted when the next time travel weekend was. The last few times that I tried to predict it, it turned out that I was wrong. So, without further ado, I'll have to announce a prediction for Time Travel Weekend V: Columbus Day weekend 2008. Featured games include Chrononauts, Cosmic Encounter, and U.S. Patent Number 1. Additional games include Carcasonne, Chez Geek, Munchkin, Fluxx, Blokus, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Order of the Stick, and more.
