Blog Share – The Watchtower of Destruction: The Ferrett’s Journal

By norm | Published: November 24, 2008
I wanted to take time out and share a blog that I’ve been following for a few months, The Watchtower of Destruction: The Ferrett’s Journal. I started reading the Ferrett back when he wrote for Magic: the Gathering about playing magic for fun, around a kitchen table. I always enjoyed his writing style and sense of [...]

Two Games one XBox

By norm | Published: November 18, 2008
I’m currently playing two video games right now, Dead Space and MTG: Battlegrounds. Dead Space rocks. It looks really good and isn’t too challenging. Battlegrounds really sucks but it’s magic so I’m giving it a go.

It’s Like Sacred Ground or Something

By norm | Published: November 12, 2008
Today I came across something that is like a fresh snowfall. Undisturbed by the rest of the world. It has beauty in its serenity. It reminds me of something sacred that even removing your shoes when treading lightly would be too much. So for now I’ll just sit back and let it be.

Career Feats

By norm | Published: November 11, 2008
There are few jobs that I really take personally at work anymore. I mean it is all business when you come down to it, and as long as the work gets done who cares. That one job that really needs carful attention comes around once every two years and I really have to pour myself into it [...]
