Found on an even older floppy disk… May 14, 1994 Dear Sierra, I have a question. When is Police Quest 4 going to be out for the Mac? I’ve been waiting since January, and finally last week I saw it advertised in the Mac Warehouse catalogue. When I called them to order it, they said […]

The infamous City Hall showdown. Yes, this is what I was so upset about. Oops. Yesterday when I posted that customer service letter I wrote to Sierra, I misremembered the outcome. Today I managed to view the rest of my old Mac floppy disks using the free trial of Macdrive. (My clunker PC is old […]
I spent most of the evening trying to find some things I thought I had and apparently have lost. The main thing I was looking for were my literary magazines from high school. I just wanted to flip through them for a little nostalgia, and was disturbed to realize they weren’t in the drawer I […]
Hey Marty, don’t look up! Before I left Telltale, I did an interview for this Gamasutra article about game PR. The article just went up yesterday, which gives it a Back to the Future-esque quality.

When it’s a bed, of course! Michael’s sells these great hutches for a dollar a piece. There are a few different styles, but apparently the one I used to make this bed isn’t available anymore (I’ve had a few in my stash for years). Earlier this week there was some conversation on the Greenleaf forum […]
I got a response from Chase today in regards to the letter I sent about my recent crappy experience with their company. Smacks of being a form letter… not one personal touch in it, and no signature, although the name at the bottom is Kelly Hanick, senior director of customer service, to whom I sent […]
All sorts of critters turning up in the yard these days… The little lizard came scurrying out from under a pot this morning while I was watering the tomatoes. The deer was hanging out in our neighbor’s yard last week with a few friends. We have a fence that keeps them out, but they do […]
My writing books. Most with unbroken spines. Having recently left my job to pursue writing “for real,” I’m finding myself with an unprecedented amount of free time. Seriously, the last time I had more than ten days off in a row was in 2001, when I was laid off over the summer (and I spent […]
