Dear DM Okay. So, here is the deal. Kevin’s wrists are bothering him and I forbade him to be on the computer this weekend at all — cause that’s what kind of power I have on Birthday Month. Boo-yah. So, now he’s all sullen and whiney about not being able to get on the computer. [...]

Trying out yet another new bloggy thing here at HOLE called “Dear DM”. The idea is that you, the reader, will ask me, the DM, questions about any old thing that pops into your head, gaming related or not, and I will answer it. So, you guys ask your questions to the DM below, and [...]

So I have been trying to grieve the loss of my grandmother, but I have discovered that this is not always as easy as it might seem. There is something blocking me (Lena is sure it is something stupid and male) from working through my feelings. When people ask how I am doing I either [...]

On June 17th, 1603 Joseph Desa was born to Felix and Francesca in the town of Cupertino Italy. (Well, Francesca anyway. Felix died just before Joseph’s birth.) Joseph grew into an extremely dim-witted young man, and was known around town as “the Gaper” for his tendency to stare slack-jawed into space. Not having any real [...]

Okay, I am pulling a blog card today. My grandmother died yesterday morning of Alzheimer’s complications… and I feel a little out of step with the rest of the world who didn’t just lose their grandmothers yesterday morning. She died as she lived, bitching and laughing, until she passed out at last, and the fluid [...]

I wish I had caught this earlier, but since I just got around to watching it I figured better late than never. In any case, as previously mentioned, my birthday was last month. This year however, my birthday became known for something else… something both appropriate and joyful. 9/12, the day after 9/11. Here’s a [...]

Lena and I have been talking a lot about the afterlife recently. Is there one, what is it like, will you get to see your friends, do you have to see your family, does the cable ever go out, that sort of thing. If classical Christianity is to be believed then hell is forever burning [...]

Every once in a while a video comes along that is just wrong enough to need to be shared with everyone in the whole world. I suggest watching it with a beer, for those of you who work at home. It starts amusingly enough, but then for me quickly became so ridiculous that I couldn’t [...]

It must be accepted as fact that mankind’s demise rides on the wings of his own scientific hubris, and that one day own own creations will rise up against us to slaughter us all. We all know this to be true. What is less clear however is the form that destruction will take. To clear [...]

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has been sticking it out with me through all the changes that the comic has undergone. Hopefully we should have seen the last of that for a bit (except for making the type a little bigger from now on) and the comic will continue to grow [...]

About… oh… eight or nine months ago Lena and I went out looking for driftwood to put in our new aquariums. We found lots of cool pieces, Florida being a swampy place, and we began treating the wood according to a well-respected aquarium book we had purchased for just such esoteric information. It took about [...]

Monday Question: Okay, I had another question I was going to ask, but I’ve decided to wait until next week for it and ask everyone what they thought about the new Harry Potter movie, or failing that when or if are you planning to see it? As I write this the movie opens tomorrow, and [...]

Top Web Comics restarts it’s voting every month, so we’re beginning again from zero today. But that means that we made it to number 59 last month with only TWO WEEKS of voting! I’d be willing to bet we could do even better this month, with YOUR help! When you vote for HOLE every day, [...]

Some people are dog people, some prefer cats. Both types generally like to nuzzle up to their pets and draw comfort from a warm, fuzzy, loving body held close. Other folks are… snake people, and they’re a little different. A friend of Lena’s who works in a pet shop describes snake people in two varieties. “There are [...]
