Archives For Gaming

I have always been fond of playing games. If I found myself not being creatively stimulated with what I was working at, I’d add a storyline in my mind!

The time has come to focus my attention on one of my favorite activities. Character generation! I look at the process as a measure of possibility where the energies go from pure formless potential to being cast in the limits of adventure mode!

I’m going to make an app. People and bots can play Paper, Rock, Scissors. We will keep score. I want it to be free (donations will be welcome). There can be titles for best and worst player. I can already imagine an extreme version or arena power ups can be purchased or exchanged for.

If you win three rounds in a row, a short movie or sound will play. Some loud, deep voice could rumble “TRIFECTA!”or we could beg some cartoonist to taunt the loser.

In addition to arbitrary points for winning matches, “running with scissors”, “dropping the rock”and “something paper”

Grantwriting and Portfolios

November 5, 2012 — 2 Comments

Eric Tyson has suggested that the wisest investment I can make right now is reducing my consumer debt. I have always been allergic to my credit card. I seldom used it because I know paying back a loan with interest is a bummer. Life happened recently and I chose to use my credit card to pay for things like rent, groceries and fuel.

I applied for two other credit cards with a 0% balance transfer fee for a year. That has neutralized the corrosive effect of paying interest on my initial credit card. All I need to do now is remember to pay of the two cards before the introductory rate expires and I’m Au.

Meanwhile, as soon as my benefits for work kick in I’ll start putting money in my 401k again. I am learning about additional benefits of tax sheltered retirement accounts. When the credit card bills are absolved, I’ll put money that I had been putting in them into an additional Roth IRA or invest directly in stocks and bonds. I’m also fascinated by Forex markets, but I don’t have that kind of capital.

Why not write a grant a day? maiki says that grant writing is a daunting task. Okay then, maybe one or two a week? I should take a crack at applying for grants. We may have a better chance of getting one once our non-profit comes closer to this instance. It’s a badass organization. You’re going to love it.
