    Game of Thrones: An Ending Too Far

    So once again, I loved this season’s Game of Thrones, even though this was undoubtedly the worst season we’ve had so far, it’s a great show. Still I’m nothing if not a picker of nits, so let me highlight why this season’s finale was lacking and should have run with the much better finale they already… Read more

Currently the company I work for is being contracted to transcribe people’s interactions with the new Cortana assistant that will be featured with… Read more

  • The Great Left-Handed Writing Experiment: Days 5-8

    So I’ve fallen a bit behind on my writing experiment. I’m starting a new job next week, I’m currently playing Pillars of Eternity so I can review it, and my parent’s are moving into a new house. So there’s a lot of stuff going on. But mostly I’ve fallen behind because I’m just embarrassed by… Read more
