It’s 4 am on Friday and I’ve got a flight from Denver to Dallas at noon. Our dog is sick, and I’ve been taking her out every 2 hours through the night. It’s been snowing non-stop since Wednesday. At first, I was happy that I decided to fly rather than make the drive down…

“Most everyone is mad here.” I now have this curious habit of every winter and summer, scheduling late nights and early mornings to play Magic the Gathering with a whole host of amazing folks from all over the world. And I am oh so grateful to do it. Thank you David Firth Bard and team…

A Spectacler 13-2 Month with TwiddleVault I first saw Glasses of Urza in my friend’s 4th edition starter deck. It looked so elegant and powerful. The ancient Urza reminded me of Da Vinci. He crafted these simple spectacles for a clear reason. Not just to see, but to see into others’ minds. Whoah. They had…
