Just a quick update here. After much hand-wringing and research, I’ve decided to forgo the customary excursions to Budapest and Bratislava. Yes, they’re beautiful, and I’m sure I’d have a great time. But they’re too far away, and too difficult to reach from the region of Ukraine I’m in. Bratislava requires half a day to … More It’s High at the Top
So I’m on my second night here in Lviv. There’s a lot to catch everyone up on, but just not enough time in the day to do it. I don’t know how these vloggers and bloggers find the hours to visit exotic places, travel to and from other destinations (just getting to Lviv took about … More Two Nights in Lviv

To bring you up to speed, that was the fastest weekend ever! I guess that happens when you take off Saturday morning, then spend the next 26 … More 45 Kilometers
It’s all done! The project is complete. I know I said that last time, but this time I’m talking about the video! The vlog is up and running! You can check it out in all its hour-and-a-half glory right here on the YouTubes. It took about 18 hours to edit and put together, all told, but … More California Sunrise
Well! This is it! You’re looking at the completed project I’ve been working on for the last month. A brand-spanking new battle station, set to decimate any and all AAA-game titles thrown at it. I’m pretty thrilled to see it in action, but also equally bummed I can’t keep it. May it live a charmed … More Plutonium in the Morning Room
