View From the Bushes

Well, the adventure snippets are now available for all you demo subscribers out there. Yesterday I said that they would be up "later this evening." I don't know, does 2 am still count as the "evening?" Probably not, but this morning I was able to experience one of the true joys of working, running a website on the side, and raising a family all at the same time. After dragging into bed at 3 am, my son woke me up at 6:30 to mention, as sort of a casual aside, that he was going to take advantage of our indoor plumbing, and now that I was up could I make him breakfast? Which was okay, really, because I needed to be to work by 8 am anyway, so what the heck?

Wil Upchurch (13th-Level Freelancer) opined on the lack of a Talkback forum, which is a good point. Certainly I plan on eventually having forums, but too many times I've gone to websites, clicked on the forum link and been treated to the electronic equivalent of Roanoke, circa 1590. The vague feeling that someone once posted there but the only thing remaining is a thread with the title "Croatoan." Okay that particular metaphor may have been a little over the top; the point is I don't want to start forums until I have a bigger potential audience than the guy in Southeast Asia, D20 authors who have been paid to like me, and my wife.

Somehow, without any kind of planning, I've ended up doing three paragraphs every day, and including one link with every column. So I guess I better stick some kind of link in here so I can keep my streak alive. I don't really consider myself a hardcore surfer, but one site I've visited consistently over the years is The Onion (one of the reasons I'll miss having GenCon in Milwaukee is you could get the print version for free) in particular the "What Do You Think?" feature has always been wickedly funny. There, that's a link and three paragraphs now go sign up for a Demo Subscription or something!
