So long 2010! It was a great year, full of exciting projects and events. I traveled the world, started a podcast, created games, and met amazing people. Now it’s a new year, full of new exciting things, and it is time for resolutions to be made. Last year’s resolution is now my Item #1 – and I’m expanding on that this year as follows…

• Contribute awesomeness to the world.
• Reduce the amount of crap in my life.
• Put out two DFL shows each month.
• Play More. Run More. Share More.
• Rock some secret projects! (see resolution #1)

See you on the flip side!

Having been home for the larger part of the last few weeks means that much more need is placed on my time. Plus, World Cup Action. As such, I have been busy to the point where some things unfortunately get placed low on the priority table and the recording/editing schedule has been hit. Happily, I have wrangled the time to record and edit the next episode, but then I left the portable hard disk at the office. It’s always something. In the meantime, I’m going to get some gaming in at NerdNYC’s Recess event: a full day of RPGs, Board Games, and good company. If you’re in NYC and you like gaming, no prereg required, come on out!
