Agrippa – purveyor of fine techno-industrial musics – is now writing at agrippa.tattooeddad.com. He’ll be chatting about life as a musician, father, husband and all around dude.

Take a moment, and check him out.

KROQ has a backup channel using all of their 80′s/early 90′s playlists and promos. If you are in LA, you can listen via HD Radio. If not, tune in and listen online. So far, I’ve heard Scritti Politti, The Alarm, and The Clash.

If you are looking more for big hair and screaming gitars, I highly recommend KQLZ – a tribute to the Lonn Friend programmed Metal Station from the Late 80′s/early 90′s. They even play stuff I don’t know.

A long time ago, a certain beautiful girl introduced me to the world of the Wolfriders. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it changed my life – but it strengthened my beliefs and my convictions in a variety of ways.

It help solidify the growing connection between the girl and I (although she [then] would’ve had strong words for me had I called her such).

There are many reasons to respect the world that Richard and Wendy Pini created and nurtured:

  • One of the first Indie Comics
  • One of the first American comics to show infuence from Manga
  • The first comic to deal respectfully with consensual non-monogamy
  • Great, well developed characters
  • Excellent,intriguing story-line over all

    • WaRP Graphics has begun putting all (as in every issue) of Elfquest online, for free.
    You can begin your journey by clicking here. Not the best way to read, but an easy way to start without a financial commitment. Once you start, you’ll be buying the books, I’m certain of it!

The man responsible for Gaming as we know it, Gary Gygax, has gone to meet Tiamet.
    For those in the audience who are asking, nay, begging me for a clue, he was one of the prime writers and creators of Dungeons & Dragons. (Here’s his wiki page.)

    A great deal of my youth was spent living in worlds that bore his signature – and most of my adult life has been shaped by media of all sorts that was inspired by him and his works.

    This half elf magic-user/thief is in mourning.
