Week 165

So week 165. One of those old-fashioned fragmented weeks that reminds me of why I decided a while ago that I should stop having more than two meetings on one day. Anyway. Following the weekend of Stekker Fest craziness I had a bit of an off day on Monday. Tuesday I sat down with Ianus [...]

We hope to address social issues and the like using these games. Recently… I’ve adjusted the temporary site to fit with [...]

Work Now So You Can Play Later
