UPDATE (03/16/09) FREE CHRONIC LYME RESOURCE CD
My wife has been battling Chronic Lyme Disease for 2 years now. She
has improved greatly with limited antibiotic usage.
I host an alternative support group on Yahoo groups. I also have a
computer CD of all the things I have learned about Lyme disease that I
will send out free postpaid to anyone who desires a copy in the
US/Canada. a mailing address if you would like one.
Also if you have or know someone diagnosed with FMS, ALS, CFS you
might want to start doing some reading!

UPDATE (11/05/07)
LOTR VS. EQ2 AND ME
I am going to be playing Lord of the Rings Online allot less and
Everquest 2 more. Folks have asked me why. I have related it a few
times but figured I would post it here.
There are 3 main areas that the game LOTR is currently annoying me:
1) No mentoring. Friends that are 5+ levels apart have a hard time
playing together without trivializing the experience for one another.
2) Auction House. As a seller it is a big pain in the end to have to
constantly relist your items that don't sell. Especially if you are
out in the field and get the items back in the mail and there is no AH
nearby.
3) Guild controls. The guild system and its controls are very
primitive compared to EQ2. Only 4 levels of membership and very little
control over much about each level's rights.
There are tons of little things too that I miss all the time from
EQ2. Auto -face target, group invis, group evacuation, pressing WWWWWW
while in chat mode and having it go out in chat, no HQ quests.
There is allot I like about LOTR (graphics are still awesome as is
the LOTR storyline) and since I have lifetime accounts I am by no
means quitting.
I will see how the game develops over the years. Just for now I will
be playing EQ2 allot more and LOTR a lot less!
To all my EQ2 guildmates, sorry for my divided loyalties the last
few months, but at least LOTR has made me appreciate EQ2 all the more!
UPDATE (07/03/07)
PRIMING THE PUMP: HOW TRS-80 MICROCOMPUTER ENTHUSIASTS HELPED SPARK
THE PC REVOLUTION
I've been reading this great book (_Priming the Pump: How TRS-80
Microcomputer Enthusiasts Helped Spark the PC Revolution_) about the
rise of the TRS-80 and the people that made it happen. I highly
recommend it to anyone who lived during the era of the TRS-80 or are
curious about how one the linchpins of the computer revolution came
about! You can order it directly from or search for it at your
favorite online bookseller: "Priming the Pump"
UPDATE (05/16/07)
LORD OF THE RINGS ONLINE
Have you tried It is really very true to the source materials and a
load of fun. For example in the books no one ever died and was
resurrected (No Gandalf doesn't count and did he really die anyway?)
So they don't have a health bar or healers. Insted you have Morale,
which gets so low you will want to retreat from battle and there are
minstrels who can sing a rousing song and boost your Morale! You get
the idea!
Right now LOTR Online is the number one PC game in the US and Europe
and for very good reason. They actually had a marvelously clean launch
and already have the first content (free) update announced for June
2007. They have an incredible epic story line that puts you in to the
story of LOTR and something on the order of 5,000 side quests to keep
you interested if that is not enough.
I am playing on the Landroval server and have a branch of my EQ2
there. I love the quests in the game and the lore and am actually
playing my char more role-play.
Come join us!

ADVENTURECON !
!!! Hello, Adventurer !!!
We are proud to announce that the legendary Scott Adams is a
confirmed guest at AdventureCon.
In case you didn't know, Scott Adams is a true pioneer in the
adventure game world. He was the first man to bring adventure games to
home computers through his company Adventure International. All told,
he has written over 15 adventure games for various platforms. I can go
on and on about everything he's done from groundbreaking work to comic
book crossovers to movie adaptations.
Instead, I direct you to the official Scott Adams site at
Here's an excellent Adventure International tribute site:
And finally, Malinche hosts an online version of Scott Adams'
Adventureland:
We also have the official dates for AdventureCon - July 24th and

We will be offering special "play and stay" packages for adventurers
who register early. At this point it looks like we'll have 75 such

UPDATE (02/28/06)
As many of you know I enjoy playing computer games. For the last 15
months I have been playing Everquest2 with a large number of good
friends.
Vindicators () the guild I run in Everquest2 now numbers 450+
characters with well over 100+ real people behind the avatars. We are
one of the largest and oldest guilds in the game.
The guild itself recently turned level 30 and bought the best
residence in the game at Number 2 Bayle Court in South Qeynos across
from the magical tower.
Our members all worked long and hard on acquiring the city status
and the items needed for our crafters to build the items in this
house. Then our own Khal Minister of Events decorated our mansion.
Here is a video of the guild house. I hope you enjoy it!
We will be having an open house in the game on March 5, 2006. Here
is a link about the festivities leading up to the grand opening
If anyone is interested in playing with us you might want to try the
free trial of EQ2 and see if it something you like or not. We are on
the Antonia Bayle server which is role-play and non-PVP.
UPDATE (11/16/05)

UPDATE (10/13/04)
I was interviewed on about my activities in Everquest. I also made a
of my 5 character hydra and how I do it.
UPDATE (10/04/04)
I was invited into the beta last week and have been playing my
sneaky, backstabbing little ratonga scout and having a blast. I plan
to play good chars in retail so I selected the evil char during beta.
The NDA prevents me at present from saying anymore. But if you search
the web you will find more information on the major fan sites.
I have the game preordered and hope to see you all when it launches.
Highly recommended.
UPDATE (8/30/04)
