You Voted For Me, Now You’re Stuck With Me

(Prime Minister joke) Posting here to say that I will be (and have been… surprise) temporarily living in London! Got this opportunity through my work so I’m posted up for an international stint.

April Thoughts – The Games I’m Playing

I haven’t registered for EVO yet. I have my passes for Sunday finals, but I haven’t actually followed through on registration. And that’s because I’m not sure what events I’m entering quite yet.
