  • Celestine and I visited The Old Burying Ground this morning.

  • I finished playing through the second map of Voyages this afternoon. The variant A Most Epic Voyage has made it more challenging, and I'm really into the game.

  • I took a lunchtime walk through the marshy former park near my work and found these irises hidden throughout.

  • Neon Ichiban is a new platform for digital comics that looks like it will do things surprisingly differently, such as offering resale of digital comics. I'm not sure it'll be all I want from digital comics, but having an alternative to Google Play will be nice.

  • These dogwood flowers made me stop, even with the threat of rain heavy above me.

  • The ElfQuest website has a dorky wolfrider name generator.

    I'm not sure how I feel about Appleleaper.

  • This week I'm playing Voyages as my roll and write game. I finished the first Voyage today during downtime while invoicing and will work on the A Most Epic Voyage variant throughout the week as I find time.

    The game is fun, with the random elements not causing enough friction to get in the way of movement.

  • Mike Duncan just released the last of the Martian Revolution episodes in his Revolutions podcast. I loved his step into speculative fiction for this series, and he wrapped it up with a satisfying conclusion. He informed the story with his deep and broad knowledge of revolutions from our own history and infused a suitable dose of hope.

    I'm looking forward to his return to history following after the Russian revolution. I assume that will be next.

  • While at Point Pleasant Park, we flipped over some rocks to look for salamanders and bugs. The first rock we looked under hid a small northern ringneck snake.

  • In the afternoon I took Celestine to Point Pleasant Park, where we stopped at Prince of Wales Tower.
