I haven’t owned a console video game machine since the Sega Genesis. Well, I take that back, I lived with someone that owned a PlayStation, but I didn’t really play all that much. Back when I did play, I really enjoyed racing games and skill sports games like golf. While various consoles have come and…
In Search Of…
I’ve been waiting to hear back from some folks at my company about the possibility of working remotely from Champaign.

A House in Champaign…
and I visited Champaign Wednesday and Thursday this week to look at houses. It’s about as small as I thought it would be, but I was happy to see that the area has a bit more going on than I expected. Between community activies and gaming, I should be able to fill my time easily.…
Have Projector, Will Travel!
Yoinked from the Creative Generalist… http://www.mobmov.org/ [MobMov is] a grassroots movement aimed at bringing back the forgotten joy of the great American drive-in.

Sent off my first resume…
