I have been having some interesting conversations today about Kickstarter. This happens pretty much every time a new quickly funding or anticipated KS hits the scene. This week it is Fate Core from Evil Hat. A few interesting things have come up in the discussion recently that can be applied to personal growth and I [...]

A lot of people think the right thing to do when they want to change their lives and get a fresh start is to follow their passion. Even I advocate trying that, but often that is not enough to make you happy. Passion is just one part of living a full life. When I set [...]

Have you heard the song ‘Accentuate the Positive?’ I hate that song. The radio station that gets played at my day job has it in heavy rotation. Let me put it this way, the switch to Christmas music is a happy change from listening to this song. Or I thought it would be, but still [...]
