Prepping the Garden
We have a little garden plot, well actually it’s not very little considering we’re in the middle of the city and it takes up about a 3rd of the backyard! We’ve rented our house for just over 3 years, so this will be our 4th summer there, and my 4th attempt at gardening! It’s […]
Adventures in Chess – Queen Down
Learning to play chess is mind-numbingly hard. And I don’t mean that in a facetious way – it literally is incredibly exhausting mentally.

Top 4 Things Motorists Need to Know about Bicycle Commuting
I began my summer of biking to work this past week (more on that in a future post), and I was quickly reminded how potentially dangerous it is to be a tiny, defenseless biker armed with only a helmet amidst a sea of huge, metal, four-wheeled machines powered by distracted drivers with the luxury of airbags.
