Tonight:

Writing justifications for examining blood (rodent and clinical) to study a response to a particular chemotherapy for treatment of brain tumor. I am investigating an endogenous response of the body to chemotoxicity that might reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. In short, we might be able to give something along with the chemo that doesn't let the tumor benefit from a systemic damage control response.

Replacing some spells in my tabletop RPG. I'm putting the whole corpus together in one big book, and I have been slowly editing it for that purpose over the past several months.

Fixing some Hubski stuff. Toggling off embedded videos in comments shouldn't toggle them off in the post text. I'll also start looking at making gifs paused by default, so kleinbl00 will stop giving me grief. :) Thanks for the tip, bfv.

I added a slide to my daughter's play structure this afternoon. I had to build out a platform for it, because no one sells slides for a 60" height at a reasonable price:

It's getting out of control. I joked to my wife that I should add a second level. Then I started thinking seriously about it. No no no.

Anyone really good at building apps that wants to build a very simple one that is probably useless, yet quite compelling to me and ecib?

This is really cool. A friend of mine has been building a table top board game for a few years. I think they're getting ready to actually sell it soon.

Thanks. Mongoose was publishing it for a time. They actually still owe me money. I don't know how big the first run was, but they sold it out more slowly than they would have liked to justify running another, and now they are not. I really should know how many books they sold. They are still selling my PDFs and paying me for that. They charge too much for them. It's very confusing.

For that reason, and others, I am happy to have selling the game back in my hands. It was never about money anyway. I forgot who said it, but one well known RPG author said: "Become a RPG author, make hundreds of dollars per year!"
