Vietnamese food is one of London’s great bargains — if you know where to look. A proper bowl of phở, fragrant with star anise and slow-cooked bone broth, will fill you up for hours. So will a bún bò Huế, a rice box, or a well-stuffed...
I finally got around to re-customizing the related posts on my blog. Specifically: hiding related posts on asides and links. They’re short. A set of related thumbnails can be as long as (or longer than) the actual post. Years ago I had...
These last couple days were alright. Yesterday I wasn't feeling great (still think it was that darn water boil advisory) but I still got some chores done, like getting my library card renewed and going to the bmv. Today I finisbed what...
This Month on Table 46No posts this month, though as you can see below, I did get a lot of reading done. I hope everyone was able to participate in Free RPG Day in some capacity! I'll be at Gen Con in two weeks. If you're interested in...

Waiting in a long line for a roller coaster, writing your ninth grade math exam, riding to work on the commuter rail, it suddenly hits you: that slippery Shake, Rattle, n’ Roll way, way, way up your nose. You tap your pockets, check your...
Dirty Work is a party game from Thailand. This is a simultaneous action selection game, and it is very much about guessing your opponents’ intentions. You are all miners mining gold, contributing to a stash of gold, one nugget at a time....
Shortly after becoming deeply immersed in social media and social media culture I realized that a) social would rewrite the rules of how to be online b) this would rewrite the rules of being offline I didn't know how it would happen and...
My photo of a peanut dryer behind barbed wire, which was used in the last blog post, was accepted by Adobe as stock art. My goal is to have 1,000 photos accepted by the end of my first year, and ultimately to earn enough money to pay for...
