More fun from my wedding day. I’ve had these Mario and Luigi pins since I was 7 years old. I gave Luigi to my best man, Blake, to wear for the day. Also note the secret pattern in my tie.

We’ve named our kitten! After trying a half dozen names, it seems GusGus sticks. It’s a Cinderella reference for my wife but a Gigglesnort Hotel reference to me.

Four years ago today my wife and I were married. It was an amazing day that I revisit often in my mind.

I’m so sorry I’m not up for the usual Halloween fun at PTB this year. Go play a Castlevania; that’ll capture the spirit.

I had a dream about a new way for advertisers to force ads on our devices and feel like I need to burn the dream to keep it from coming true.

Cancer update: tumor is still dying and prognosis is looking good. Just one more week of radiation to go. I’m still working on mobility issues since I spend most of my time in bed.

Looks like minimal damage at the house. Front door leaked which is not uncommon.

In Yoshi's Island, if the "Kamek saying 'OH, MY!!!'" object is inserted anywhere in a level that is not a boss battle, Baby Mario will explode. This will count as completing the level.
