Welcome to the Hoard

Day 1 of Hunting Zombies: Successfully staying clean and alive while the O'Z'es (Original Zombies) were unmarked with their headbands!  Escorted Crystal safely across campus twice.  Lunch at the UW Club.

Day 2 of Hunting Zombies:  Thanks to a misfire/unloaded chamber the Red Square was not my friend today.  I fear this may be my last entry as the fever is starting.  My skin changing... shiny, becoming a gray wax.  The sweat and panting is all I can think about...  I feel sick.

Long Live the Hoard!

Let the Hunt Begin


This coming Monday, January 10th, 2011 marks the start of UW's Winter 2011 quater Humans v. Zombies Tag!  (Here's a photo from Fall 2010 quarter.)  Yes! This is just as crazy as you think!

This past week, I picked up my orange bandana and asked around and gathered a few clues and recommendations as to the type of air action Nerf guns that are the most versatile and useful. 

I'm ready to play one big game of tag! 

Want to learn more? 


Maybe even one day I'll get into mods and hacks:
Steampunked!

I hope my guardian angle is watching over me this week... Long live the Humans!

Thanks for reading,

Is the UW U Pass worth it for me?

After finally acquiring my UW Faculty ID badge, I learned that I was eligible for a discounted bus, light rail, and SLUT public transportation pass, dubbed the "U-Pass."

Now, I'm not a daily rider, and I wouldn't take the bus to work. I can walk to most places I want to eat and visit. If I can't walk, I can run, and if I really want to expand my horizons I should just bike there. :-)

Well.... I went for the $398.00 U-Pass, good through June 30th 2010. So now I posed the challenge to myself, if this was really worth the decision.

In order to accomplish this, I fully extended and embraced my geekness and created an Excel Spreadsheet (along with a graft to track my progress.)

I hope to periodically update my readers as to my acceptance or dissapointment with my decision. As of now, I've used 4 $1.75 rides with my U-Pass, bringing my cost to $391.00 for those rides.
