WebsnarkProtected Gnomish Habitat since 2008Eric Burns-White: Home again!- June 23, 2008 Back from Vegas, feeling somewhat ill -- hardly surprising, after a whirlwind desert week filled with educational conferences, evenings out, occasional liquor, and, y'know, getting married. The wedding was lovely, with evaporative cooling surrounding us with a light mist as we said vows under a rather nice outdoor gazebo. Weds was beautiful. I didn't trip at any point. It's done. I'll have more to say on it and many other things later this week, but as I said I'm feeling ill and besides, I.http://www.websnark.com/archives/2008/06/home_again.html Eric Burns-White: My mind is going, Dave. My mind is going. I can feel it.- June 19, 2008 So, I'm at EduComm. This is why I'm actually here, beyond, you know, my wedding. I am in a conference called "top 10 web 2.0 applications." The presenter is now telling us about a new concept on the web -- something that might really change things. It's called 'blogging.' So, you know. You guys might want to watch out for that.http://www.websnark.com/archives/2008/06/my_mind_is_goin.html Eric Burns-White: Updates!- June 18, 2008 Las Vegas is very very hot. Naturally, the wedding will be outdoors. We are not necessarily bright. The auctions continue apace -- bid early and often! Before we left, we added a bunch of other things, including Shadowrun, the Book of Vile Darkness (by Monte Cook!), Tom Strong, GURPS Traveller Starports (by John M. Ford!) and d20 Future! And that's not even all. I will do my best to check in, preferably drunk, later this week. Right now, I'm sitting at a work related conference, and am...http://www.websnark.com/archives/2008/06/updates.html Eric Burns-White: I roll to disbelieve.- June 17, 2008 If there is a book I have bought more often than the Player's Handbook, I'm not sure what it is. Understand, it's not that I've bought the same book multiple times. Mostly. The original Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook I did, of course. I wore two of them out, and later I got a PDF of the thing. And I think I bought a couple of Second Edition over time. But stepping away from that, I've gotten pretty much every new edition that they've thrown in my direction. Which has...http://www.websnark.com/archives/2008/06/i_roll_to_disbe.html Eric Burns-White: Ahhh... nothing says 'wedding' like 'getting rid of some crap!'- June 16, 2008 And hello and good morning, action force! It's the start of a new week -- and as it works out, a pretty important week for Weds and I. We get up tomorrow morning, bright and early, and head down to Boston to board a plane which then takes us to Las Vegas, Nevada. There, I go to a work related conference with other folks from work. In the evenings, we hang out and listen to the sounds of the bells. And then, at the end of the week, there's a wedding. And that's downright awesome. Needless to..http://www.websnark.com/archives/2008/06/ahhh_nothing_sa.html Eric Burns-White: State of the Web(Cartoonist): Ryan North- June 2, 2008 The Webcartoonist: Ryan North Current Webcomics: Dinosaur Comics, Whispered Apologies You May Remember Him From Such Webcomics Related Technologies As: Project Wonderful, Oh No Robot, RSSpect, God knows what else....
