I rode my bike to work this morning. I guess I just woke up on the “foolish” side of the bed! It was beautiful but cold: -2°C (28°F). With the “wind” chill from riding, it was about -8°C (17°F). The view coming over the Guy West Bridge was the high point of my ride–the deck of the bridge was rimed with frost:
Unfortunately, my camera/phone doesn’t do justice to the sight.
I finally got a chance to play Attika at the Sacramento Boardgames Meetup last night. This game was already on my Christmas list because it seemed like “my kind of game”. Now that I’ve actually played it, I think it’s something my whole family would enjoy. Many thanks to Kevin for bringing Attika to our game night!
Speaking of which… Our group, the Sacramento Boardgames Meetup, gets together every Tuesday night at Crepeville at 18th & L in downtown Sacramento. Our event is scheduled to start at 6:00 pm, but lots of folks arrive earlier (or later). I usually leave at about 9:00 pm, and I’m one of the early departures. I have no idea how late the die-hard gamers stay. We have a great group of gamers, so if you like boardgames come on out and join us some Tuesday evening!
I just stumbled across a way-cool widget over on BoardGameGeek. It’s a javascript widget that (in this case) displays the last five games I played:
The “games played” list is from the BGG database, which I often forget to update. But this widget is just the sort of thing that will help remind me to log all the games I play.
(Oops! I forgot to link to the widget generator.) If you’re a BGG user, check out the GeekWidget generator. (And if you’re a boardgamer but not a BGG user, go ahead and register!)
