This is my garden on the web. It's perpetually being tended, sometimes frequently, sometimes sporadically. It is the thing I am most proud of on the web. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to organize everything (the best way ain't reverse-chronologically, but that's how it is for now).
I wrote a book that I'd love for you to read. The first chapter is available for free and I'd like to put the whole thing online, eventually. I'm married to my beautiful wife and we have two little Zs, with a third on the way.
I despise the current trajectory of the web (despite being a web developer my entire life), and any use of this site for LLM, SEO, or any other acronym is specifically forbidden. If you're a person, welcome! Email me to say that you read and enjoyed something, or just to say hi. I'd love to hear from you.
I’ve been thinking lately about how much my gaming hobby has changed since I got into things. In 2013, my then girlfriend’s father (now my father-in-law) introduced me to Smash Up. Much to my new fiancee’s dismay, we spent the two week visit with the family mostly playing the game. I didn’t log plays back then, but I’m sure we clocked two dozen plays in two weeks.
I was hooked! Everything was awesome about this cool new card game. I bought a copy on Amazon, we started a game night for other young marrieds from my wife’s college, and I think I had 3, maybe 4 games on the shelf. We played a lot of Smash Up, Dixit, and Shadows over Camelot.
Hi, I'm Andrew.
