Radical Hive

Almost a year ago Ryan and I built the Behemoth.  It’s fully assembled (except for the darned doors which I just can’t seem to manage to build), so last weekend I decided to build a unit for Kaylin.   It’s not nearly as big, just one 24′ wide by 8′ tall unit.  This one’s built with [...]

I don’t know when it happened exactly, but at some point in the last 5 years, I stopped being a huge movie nut, and transferred some of that love over to video games.  I used to read Premiere magazine, and Entertainment Weekly.  I would surf Film Threat, and Cinematical, Rotten Tomatoes was a weekly pilgramige, [...]

Quoits, sometimes known as coits, the sport of kings or at the very least sailors is one of my passions.  I train for it for 12 months of the year to prepare for the annual “Bond Street Cup” (this year renamed the “Balvenie Street Cup”).  I’m a proud two time winner, but I’ve had a run [...]

I use Askimet for spam protection, and once a week I go in and read what the Spam Kings of the interwebs are saying about me.  They’re often quite fun, but I always feel bad that these poor Spam Bots get no love, so in an effort to make myself feel better about…myself, I have [...]

Randy Pausch the computer science professor who delivered a very moving final lecture at Carnegie Melon passed away last week after a short but fierce battle with cancer. He was 47.
His lecture is incredibly inspiring, here’s a guy who at the time was told he had six months to live (he managed to extend [...]

About a year ago I decided that I wanted a little more flexibility in my PC use. All New Comics was taking up an inordinate amount of time while I was working on what can only be described as “mindless tasks”. This stuff sucked. We’re talking site updates, which involves copying and [...]

This is a time of purging for me right now.  I’m in the process of losing a bunch of weight.  Char and I are getting stuff ready for a garage sale next weekend.  Pete and I are almost ready for the end of August HobbyStar FanExpo Canada.  I’m clearing a bunch of designs and layouts [...]

About a month ago I got on a scale and made a horrible discovery, I am now nearly fifty pounds heavier than I was when I got married. This is the latest in a series of increasingly horrifying discoveries. My knees hurt a little, my hands ache a lot, my back is often [...]

Anybody who knows me knows two things about me. 1: I’m not a big car guy, and 2: I love comics. So what happens when the love of one overcomes the apathy of the other? I become a car guy for a day!
On Saturday my dad and I went to the Fleetwood [...]

This is what I did this weekend.
Last weekend I came up with the plan, and my dad and I specced out the wood. I figured that I’d be looking at about $400.00 plus taxes. Looking around at the pre-fab packages, I figured I could do better than theirs for less money, and build [...]
