This is the first in a new series of text posts. For now, I’m calling it the “idea pile”.
The controlling method to getting it here is:
I have an Idea->the idea is notable for some reason->I write out and edit->I post it here with appropriate tags
This particular idea came from while I was browsing reddit and came across this post by u/jpan616, Link to original post, and I just couldn’t stop writing … There is more to read…
Ok, I’ve got a new idea.
Since the horror of the bedbugs is over and my new house is actually being properly put together, I can think about how the Nerd Fort can be done in a better way than before. And I realized something that we are, in fact, missing.
The basic idea is that I am doing the podcast so that other people will be 1) entertained by it, and 2) learn something … There is more to read…
This will be a short post. We have left the bedbugs far behind.
After retreating from our apartment and moving in with my very generous In-Laws we had a couple scares, but they always turned out to be a similar-looking insect, or a bite that looked similar to the bite of a bedbug.
After about a month, we are reasonably confident that we never took a single bedbug to my in-laws. So if we didn’t … There is more to read…
So, my last post was basically just an accounting of my time from the discovery of a bedbug infestation and when I decided that I still needed to act like I have a website, whether or not the bedbugs wanted me to have a life. The previous post was about 2 months ago. So, time for an update, I guess.
We have still not managed to wrest our household from the clutches of these ancient … There is more to read…
The last post I published was just after thanksgiving. That’s almost a 2 months ago, and it didn’t include anything that had to do with my podcast(s). I have a few episodes that are in the state of ‘almost done,’ but I’ve decided to keep my hiatus going until some things have been finished.
First off, to set the stage: I had been thinking for a while that I wanted to start an I.T. career. After … There is more to read…
And that really sucks.
The following is a comment from a reddit thread. I suggest reading the thread until you get to this one, but this one is the most important thing I’ve read recently.
Comment from discussion JustForCancer’s comment from discussion "My wife’s relatives invited themselves over for Thanksgiving and then broke these out after the meal".
Fuck, I have been battling bedbugs for three weeks, and I was ready to … There is more to read…
They are a thing. A thing in my house.
Not very many- in fact so far it’s one of the smallest colonies I’ve ever even heard about- but no matter how many you see, you drop 100% of other things and take care of them right the hell now.
So, this website is on a 100% hiatus until a) the inspectors come and inform us that we have done everything properly, and can relax while … There is more to read…
FINAL EDIT: I am admitting defeat. I keep trying to work on this instead of doing other things, which makes me not want to do other things, which starts up the Spiral of Defeat and Failure and Other Bullshit™. I will keep around those episodes that I have already created, but I’m not going to finish. Maybe I’ll do a new year’s thing. I probably should have planned way far in advance, anyways. Current plan … There is more to read…

Ok, here is episode 3, all about the hardware needs that you will have. (links to products here give me a kickback, btw)
1. Space.
Literally. You need space to do this. It needs to be quiet, it needs to be free of pets and children. It should not have bare … There is more to read…

There are some things that are very important to podcasting that can’t be bought or acquired in how we normally think of it, but are still pretty important.
1. A support network
Most people have some kind of support network, but many people rarely think about it. Taking some time to … There is more to read…

So, today is International Podcast Day 2016, and I am doing a kinda off-the-cuff mini series about podcasting. This episode is how I started a podcast and a really rough bare minimum that you would need to get started. Since this podcast is 75% about my story, I won’t include that … There is more to read…
I don’t know what makes this Friday the international podcast day, but for some reason it is. To start off, you should go catch up on your favorite podcast. After that, find a new, interesting podcast and get caught up on that. With the remaining 3 minutes in your day, you should read this and get prepared to listen to my podcast every day next week.
For some reason I care about Podcast Day. I don’t … There is more to read…

MY GOODNESS
I really need to get my shit together. I didn’t even check the website to make sure that the last episode published.
The remainder after this episode is all a bunch of non-D&D stuff, so I decided to scrap it as an episode.
The next episode is either going … There is more to read…
Leveling up!
It’s pretty funny, honestly. Plus you might learn something about D&D.

I edited the last episode badly and only had like 15 minutes left. Here they are. Regular episode tomorrow.
So, I find myself at the end of a week, when I would normally be finishing editing an episode and releasing it. I would normally be hoping that the few people who I know listen to it (Hi, Ellie and Claire!) will get something entertaining and interesting out of it.
Turns out, that I only have about 15 minutes of session 2 remaining – I did not plan this well. The final few minutes are … There is more to read…

Episode nine.
Fighting a statue over a staff.
Also, I had noticed a few errors in the labeling of the episodes last week. They have been fixed. It’s likely that you didn’t even notice.
