I’m left-handed. It gives me distinction among my friends, and perhaps allowed me to be “different” enough naturally that I never completely gave in to the teenage urge to artificially differentiate myself through blue hair or all-black clothes. People always notice when I pick up a pen, and sometimes even remember me because [...]

This is Colin. I am guest posting because I got something to say…
For as much as the video game industry has grown by leaps and bounds over the past 20 years, its growth has been inversely matched by the death of the full-size arcade industry. There are many reasons for this. First, there’s just so [...]

Speaking of Freecycle, I picked up my first freecycle free cycle–meaning I got a free bicycle from freecycle! I also got a very nice free artificial Christmas tree (I’ve been wanting a fake Christmas tree since we got married, just for the security of having one). Both things were from the same place, [...]

I like Freecycle. I like the idea of not dumping things other people can use. I like the idea of not driving to Deseret Industries (or DI–our local thrift store) and of not having a pile of stuff in my entryway or garage for months that I meant to take to DI.
Here’s how [...]
