Letter to the Editor

So I sent off a letter to the editor to The Advance. It's concerning the old rail bed in Summerville Centre and converting it to a trail. Apparently Summerville is one of the few spots in Queens that it's not cleared. This is because people don't want ATVs in their backyards. I offered a different option. I really hope they can get this done.

Goodbye Queens

It comes with great sadness to announce that me and Joanna are moving out of Queens County. Joanna got a permanent teaching position in Digby and for a new teacher this is incredible news. Not incredible is the fact that we will be leaving the wonderful South Shore. We have definitely fell in love with the area and would of loved to made this our permanent home, but we got to go where the jobs are.

Micro Review: World War II Online: Battleground Europe

I first tried writing a review for World War II Online: Battleground Europe several years ago for a site called 2404.org. I found it difficult because it's such a unique video game and I got caught up in talking about all the little details. I'm trying again now that I got a blog, and hopefully I'll be able to explain what it is and share to you my experience with it.

Privateer Days Video Game Tournament - After Action Report

This past weekend was Privateer Days in Liverpool. It's the annual festival for Liverpool, the kind that every small town seems to have (Grand Falls has its Potato Festival). After the second Liverpool Electronic Entertainment Tournament, the Privateer Days folks came to me and asked me to organize a video game tournament during PD. So I did it and it went great!
