Summer Movie Draft!

By: Studio Hades via openclipart.orgSo i'm participating in our own local summer movie draft this year! If you're not familiar with the concept, basicially we get together throw some money in a pot (not very much money) and then each player gets 100 credits to use to bid on the summer movies to assemble their "team". The draft is done auction style so you are competing against the other players in the auction to assemble a team which will have the highest total gross box office revenue by 9/23/2012. My movies this year (the ones you sould all go to see :) are:

• Wrath of the Titans
• The Avengers
• Battleship
• Prometheus
• Total Recal (the re-make)

You can follow the draft throughout the summer here:

Spring Project: Simple Raised Garden

Since spring has sprung so early, I decided to get started on a garden. It's been a while since I had the space for one so this should be fun. 

I decided on a raised style, in two or three seperate boxes to help control water flow and to let me specialize the soil and drainage for several groups of plants.

Take a look at the project blog the pictures section for details.

The Iowa Lan LeagueLately I have been designing a website for the Iowa Lan League. The League is dedicated to being a loose support structure for lan parties in the mid-west and host an anual two game league. Each "member lan" is asked to consider hosting a league qualifier tournament at one of their events. The winners of these qualifiers are invited to a final event which includes a finals tournament, and regular lan party all rolled into one.
