Leisure Time is over
I intended to write this article explaining why this (and a few other websites) aren’t being updated. It was supposed to be thoughtful, which basically means that I never had time to write it.
The gist is that I looked at what sites I had going on and decided to fold a bunch of the topics back into my main blog. I want to have fewer, better, websites than have a bunch of really specific ones.

Clarinet - cost of replacing pads and cork? -... →
I just got quoted $125 for replacing the pads on the clarinet I bought on Craigslist. I think that it needs pads is totally better than having bent keys… and I can blame the sounds that come out on it.

Learning the Didjeridu - Section One →
About 10 years ago I purchased a didjeridoo. It’s a fun instrument to play. This seems like a good tutorial on playing them. Be sure to note the table of contents section is the navigation to other chapters… I thought it was all on one page at first.

The clarinet has a weird place in culture these days. It’s a popular instrument in elementary and middle school bands but it’s been off the radar in pop music for the past fifty or so years, with the...

Nintendo: Capcom "Contemplating" More Wii Ports →
Among them maybe Street Fighter IV? I wish… though I’m skeptical because imho Sega controller always had the upper hand on Nintendo’s… Wii excluded. The 6–button Sega controller offered a perfect console port of the arcade system controls… from the two rows of three buttons to the excellent 360º directional pad.

folkinz:
hasbro is updating the board game clue (one of my favorite board games)…i’m not sure how i feel about them getting rid of the colonel and the professor.
That’s dumb. For my dollar it would be cool to reinvent it even more, adding more characters and locations on some sort of modular format.

Fastest Arkham Horror game evar
I think Alissa and I broke the record for the shortest Arkham Horror game ever last night with a 5 minute game!
We prepared the board and started the first turn. I was first player and went to the Science Building at Miskatonic University to pick up two clue tokens. In the encounter phase I drew a card.
