  • Premature Game Start

    I stupidly clicked the wrong thing and started up One Shot is Not Enough, the next game of Odd Man In. I put it back in the “forming” category and everyone will be reassigned a color when the game starts.

    I’d like to announce the opening of the Odd Man In Message Board. It’s so you guys can suggest features, discuss strategies, complain about problems, etc. I imported the users from PostNuke so your username and password should work.

  • No IRS Immunity for Richard Hatch

    Sorry for the horrible headline, but this story is unbelievable. Richard Hatch, winner of the first Survivor, won a million dollars in front of 58 million viewers and didn’t report it on his 2000 tax return. Federal prosecutors charged that Hatch, 43, failed to report his $1.01 million winnings from the CBS show, and did…

  • Random Thoughts and Notes

    This game of Odd Man In seems to be going well. It’s down to the final 11 and we should see a winner by early next week. I recently fixed some minor bugs here and there and I added the ability to view the last 50, 75 and 100 messages. I have lots of features…

  • Breakquest

    I thought Arkanoid was the Citizen Kane of Breakout clones until I played Breakquest. It’s amazing. The demo has 4 awesome levels that you have to try.

  • Open Mic Recap @ Bamboo Bernies (01/05/05)

    Last week I went to the first ever Bamboo Bernies open mic hosted by Justin Taylor. Some people probably thought I was mad last week because I only played three songs and got the heck out of there, but I wasn’t. I just didn’t want to stay out that late and I ended up going…

  • My Freshman Year of High School

    Today I went through my parents’ basement to see if there was anything else I could sell on eBay and I came across my freshman high school yearbook (1993 – 1994). Check out how slick I was back then: That’s me and Sister Renata, my 9th grade math teacher. Read on for an article I…

  • Why eBay Rules

    I sold a broken camera on eBay for $46. I clearly marked it as broken, so it’s not like I tried to pull a fast one on somebody.

    It’s over! My good friend Mike Blake won the Holiday Shootout as Mr White. In the last game, he was the notorious Mr Pink who screwed up the end game for a few players. Some highlights of this game were a surprise opening round where me and 7 other players opened fire on Mr Indigo…

  • Sarah Allen @ the Tree House

    I just got back from seeing Sarah’s show at the Tree House. She sounded familiar and great. The place was packed with her friends and fans, anxious to hear her for the first time since she moved to North Carolina. They all seemed a little older than I remember them being, but that’s because they…

  • Happy New Year

    We’re now halfway through this decade and we still don’t know what to call it. It was a big year for me. I got married, visited San Francisco, bought a great house, went crazy in debt, quit the open mic, saw the Pixies twice, and started Odd Man In. It’s been a great year for…

  • RIP Crab Open Mic

    If you haven’t heard the bad news, Justin Taylo informed us last week that the Carribean Crab open mic is closing up for good. I tried to condense his email, but it’s too entertaining to edit.It truly is a sad day today. After eight months of sweat and loyalty, the Crab has decided to discontinue…
