I’ve made some minor tweaks to the site, mostly related to beautification, in the hopes to make it a little easier on the eyes. The most notable change is the banner logo; gone are the dice, too large in my opinion, and replacing it is a neat little thing I made using Gimp 2.2. It started out as a photo of a toy raygun, Joyner inspires, and with some manipulation and filtering became the abstraction currently sitting atop the site. The other changes are a cleaned up meta section, found on the side bar, where text links were replaced with clean 80×15 images. Feels a little more like home.

I saw a post about Eric Joyner over at The Sneeze and was instantly fascinated. Joyner wraps together all the things that I loved as a kid from toy robots to confections and presents it in a way that is reminiscent of illustration from the 1940’s and 1950’s. When I was young, my mother used to take me to library book sales and I almost always gravitated towards the books about the future written and illustrated in the middle of the century, the ones that show mankind living on the bottom of the sea or on Mars and the moon by 1980. Joyner’s work takes me back there, though this time with donuts.
Birty over at eMusic turned me on to this method of collecting and sharing emusic albums. Looks like a great way to browse other users interests as well as keep track of my own.

On time and under budget.
Spending all day with my dad and brother-in-law was worth every penny; getting the shed was just a bonus.
Sessions two and three went real well, at least from my perspective, but unfortunately I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to translate my notes into some semblance of literacy. I’m working on session four and hopefully will have some devices put together that will make it a little more clear why the players have stumbled into Rakengaard (or is it that they have been lead?). Hopefully it has been as much fun for the group as it has been for me!
