Poveglia: Professional Ghost Hunter I am not

Nor am I much of a cinematographer but I stubbornly plow ahead with my mediocrity anyway.  I did take some video clips from Poveglia.  Here's some clips of my explorations of the island just to give you some ideas of what it is like there.  If you are looking for some spooky activity, I'm sorry to disappoint ;).  However, something more compelling is the digital audio that we took.  Check out the link here http://soundcloud.com/chad-t-scoggins/evp-3-1-01.  You can hear the sound of voices over the insect sounds.  Definitely not definitive proof of anything by any means but I do know that there were only three of us in this building at the time of the recording.  We did not hear these sounds (well, other than the insect sounds) when we recorded these.  I've always wanted to play with EVP and this was a neat experiment.  If I had any idea what the hell I was doing, it'd be cool to clean up the audio and see if it was a voice and what it said.  Alas, that is beyond my ability.  I do know that we are planning another trip at some point and are going to apply some lessons learned from this weekend's trip.  I think it'll be a smaller group which is good.  That way we'll be able to rule out inadvertent interference.

Neurodiversity and Dragons - the adventure begins!

  Tl;dr: Kia ora all! I don’t often post much about my personal life, but as a parent of two neurodiverse teens, I reckoned that I’d post some of my experience in gaming here on our journey. My daughter was diagnosed with autism almost a year ago and my son is dyslexic/dysgraphia with ADHD like presentation. Both are incredibly bright and very different from each other (my son has lots of friends and is very bright and gregarious if also very lazy while my daughter is very retreating and shy but incredibly driven and motivated). They both love fantasy and fantasy literature, movies and gaming has been a way for us all to connect. Though often what works for one, doesn’t necessarily work for the other. This brings me to my point, I am working on trying to best accommodate the needs of my neurodiverse daughter and include her in an experience that she very much wants to participate in, but often feels frustrated and overwhelmed by. This is an introduction to our journey so far.   For s

I like pie!

Cyclopeatron made an interesting blog post which I tend to agree with. Most conent posts don't get responses but opinion posts do. I've noticed the trend in my own blogging as well. There is some incredibly interesting content being generated out there in OSR blog land. I think folks tend to react more to opinion pieces because no one really wants to 1) either say your stuff sucks on a blog post or 2) only say "that's cool man". I tell you what, I cherish the "that's cool man posts", it at tleast let's me know folks are paying attention. As to the your stuff sucks, well those are OK too as long as they tell me why they think my stuff sucks so I know how to try and improve it. At any rate, I like pie. It even tastes better when I had to kill an orc to get it ;).
