Show Notes
- Nuketown News
- Pathfinders: Curse of the Crimson Throne
- Starting a Pathfinder PBEM with Daniel Perez of the Gamer Traveler. Just converted my character over from the Dark City campaign; visit Nuketown for a comparison.
- Baseball Feedback
- Heard from Rich at the Cannon Puncture podcast after Radio Active #65, who agreed with me about the geekiness of Baseball, and wondered why I wouldn't be going to Yankee Stadium in its last year. Which is a good question.
- Lies, Damn Lies and Analytics
- Nuketown gets some upgrades, namely in the form of a new FeedBurner feed for Radio Active. Trying to figure out how many of the 8,500 "mp3 requests" last month were real.
- Pathfinders: Curse of the Crimson Throne
- Promo: 3.5 Private Sanctuary
- Netheads
- Gut Check Podcast
- Two geeks (Doug from GeekAcres, Zach from Geek Survival Guide) get serious about losing some weight. The podcast and blog chronicles their efforts.

- Twiddla
- A team whiteboarding application, allows people to chat and talk in real time, draw on the canvas, and co-browse web pages. Could be useful for an online game, though minis would be problematic.

- Evernote:
- Sychronizable note-taking system for Mac, Windows and mobile devices.
- Experimenting with using it to organize my notes for my KODT web scryer columns (though I suspect private bookmarks to delicious would be easier)

- Save Every Edit with Subversion for Writers
- Gut Check Podcast
- Promo: The EscapistCast
- Feature: The Three Page Manifesto
- I talk about how to write a better adventure in less time by focusing on the content you need, rather than the fluff you don't.
