It’s been just short of a year since the last PAX East, of which I promised … well, more than I gave, as what I ended up giving was nothing but silence for the better part of a year. It’s also been just short of two months since my last blog post, and I promised more of those as well.

No. There are just some types that are more suited to one audience and some that are more suited to another. Or, in the case of some players (incl. myself), both have their own place.

Minecraft. My next project. Or, more accurately, now my current one.
It has been a plan for a good long time now to roll another Minecraft modpack (and server) for myself and my friends to enjoy. A long put off and long overdue plan. And, now that I have this wonderful space set up here, I have the freedom to work on that project!
