Jun 30, 08 Blizzard Announced Diablo 3 And I Died

Posted by Michael in Video Games

Diablo (1997) was the first PC game that I bought for myself. I had played other computer games, but they were either shareware or borrowed from my friend Swavek.  The interface was so intuitive, just point and click to do just about anything.  Although there were only sixteen levels, each one was randomized every time you played,...

Posted by Michael in Being A Dad

Chrissy and I watch new episodes of “Jon and Kate Plus Eight” on television every Monday. These people have eight kids, so it’s fun to watch them suffer through the same problems that regular parents have (except eight times over, all at once). Kate manages this herculean task by implementing highly effective...

Posted by Michael in Being A Dad

Aiden got his first haircut on June 19th, 2008. Grandma brought her stylist kit over and did the honors. He cried the entire time, even after Chrissy gave him a Ring Pop to calm him down. Apparently, he didn’t like sitting on a step stool, drapped in a plastic covering.  Grandma did a good job, and you could barely recognize...

Posted by Michael in Other Things

I don’t like getting wet, let alone being rained on. Normally, I won’t even leave the house if it looks like it’s going to rain outside. But the weather has been very strange lately. I seem to have gained the uncanny ability to induce precipitation on a beautiful day simply by getting into my car. Furthermore, the...
