For about two years now, drDuff has been hooked on Boardgame Geek, where he gets to list all his board games, find out about new board games, and hang out with other boardgamers with out having to, you know, hang out with other boardgamers. I have been so envious. I even talked to him of… Continue reading Ravelry — I'm In!

Writer's Inspiration I
I’m trying to squeeze in more writing time these days (not, as previously mentioned, for projects that someone is threatening to pay for imminently, but just for my own satisfaction). In spite of the fact that I really want to write, I find myself needing a jumpstart, so I’m reading about writing a little more… Continue reading Writer's Inspiration I
BBC On Demand in the US
I’m so excited. The BBC is making its shows available through Zudeo sometime soon. (Zudeo is owned by the people who made the BitTorrent software.) We’ve been getting our Dr. Who fix from the newsgroups (until such time as the DVDs are released, because we just can’t wait a year for new Who…not while my… Continue reading BBC On Demand in the US
Money for Medicine
These ladies got naked to help their friend pay for the drugs that are keeping her alive after cancer treatment (cos, you know, a national health service would be the work of the devil.

Knitted Key Cover
Key Cover Originally uploaded by jwordsmith. Ha! I love having a useful hobby. The handle came off my car key. It’s one of those big black keys with electronics in it and a key part that whips out like a switchblade. It also had a handle on one end that let me attach it to… Continue reading Knitted Key Cover
Adding Converts
I did it. It was my first time. I feel like a real grown-up knitter now. I taught my friend to knit. It totally did not push it. She came over (from the other side of the country, no less) and more or less instantly demanded that I teach her to knit. So I did.… Continue reading Adding Converts
Early Morning Writing
I woke up at 6.30 this morning, with no boys in sight or sound. I weighed the possibilities: go back to sleep for all of fifteen minutes, or get up and have a cup of coffee and a wee write, sitting at the dining table, watching the early morning light wash the sky/house line. I… Continue reading Early Morning Writing
My Stellar Clientele
I did this guy’s website. Think I should feature him a little less prominently in my portfolio?
