We’re getting ready to transition Asparagus Jumpsuit into its own space, not just a page piggybacking this blog. It’s a business; it needs it’s own domain, with its own blog for product announcements and customer support. Most RPG blogging will land over there, and will appropriately be related to AJ products. There will still be some … Continue reading »

Memories of Intentional Communication
When I was a kid, the phone was the thing attached to the wall in the kitchen. If someone called, you had to answer it to find out who it was, because there was no caller ID, no voice mail, no answering machines. If you called someone else and they didn’t answer, it wasn’t because … Continue reading »
I Am Temporarily Out of Contact
My phone is broken (dropped one too many times, methinks) and the internet at the studio is down as we explore alternate providers. Expect delays in response if you’re contacting me, and understand that it’s not personal and I’m not ignoring you. Replacing the phone is currently low priority, because few people call me and … Continue reading »

Subject #1: Barnes & Noble Disclaimer: I worked for Barnes & Noble for four years, and … Continue reading »
If SOPA Passes, Will Everything Old Be New Again?
The Stop Online Piracy Act is undeniably a bad thing, and if it happens it will have a significant impact on how we currently use the internet. There has been some hyperbole about how it will “completely destroy” the internet, which may be overstating things a bit. I started thinking, though, about what we’d do … Continue reading »
Merry Christmas – See you in 2012
For the rest of the year I’ll be largely away from the internet. There are some posts queued up, but I’m not going to be around in real time to moderate comments, answer emails, or chat on social networks. Other than wrapping up some freelance work, I don’t plan to be near a computer much. … Continue reading »
Comments Now Held for Moderation
Recently, a few people have been embarrassing themselves by posting rude and inappropriate comments. While constructive feedback is always welcome, to help them save face all comments will be held for moderation until further notice.
I will be hard to reach until December 12th
The end of the year is stressful for most people, and it’s no different for me. There is a lot that I need to get done by the end of the month, personally and professionally. As a result, between now and approximately December 12th I will unfortunately be difficult to reach in real time. I … Continue reading »
