Decent Geek Eats for PAX 2010

La Creperie Voila – 707 Pike St, between 7th Ave & 8th Ave – Zero blocks for the Center

For around $4 to $7 you can have one of the tastiest breakfasts you can find near the convention center. I’m very particular to the sweet crepes, but the savories are also quite de-lish! They’re open till [...]

Day 7 Walkies: Golden Gardens Park

This park is located in the neighborhood of Ballard in Seattle, WA. This is another park I use to frequent with my family as a little girl. The park includes a nice stretch of sandy beach, a wetland at the north end, and of course all the typical park amenities for the perfect birthday picnic….

Eberron Days: 25th of Barrakas

Fathen’s Fall
Earth Day: August 25th

Day 6 Walkies: Carkeek Park

Carkeek is a popular park located in the Broadview neighborhood in Seattle.  Entrances to the park are readily accessible by foot, but for this walk I started at the McAbee Entrance on NW 100 Place near 6th Avenue NW. This entrance is the trail head for a mild walk lasting about 20 to 30 minutes…

Syndication: Sharing the Content for Fun and Profit!

I have two blogs that I manage: one at my.DDO.com/theris and here at www.annetrent.com. I really wanted to make sure that my site also included my blog at DDO. So I decided to syndicate my.DDO blog’s RSS feed into my personal site. This saved a ton of work on transferring content. Furthermore, I don’t have…

Monster Minute: Yugoloths

Yugoloths or Deamons in Real-World Mythology
The D&D Yugoloth was originally pattern from the Greco classical mythology Deamon, or supernatural being described as something between mortal and god.  Examples are found in Plato’s The Symposium, which describes them as ghosts of dead heroes, or inferior divinities such as nymphs.  Judeo-Christian texts describe these same creatures as [...]

Day 5 Walkies: Richmond Beach Saltwater Park

This park is a picture perfect walk on a sunny morning! Richmond Beach neighborhood is one of the oldest areas of Shoreline and started as a part of ninety-eight acres of land. It wasn’t named Richmond Beach until 1889, after Richmond, England. Richmond Beach Saltwater Park is tucked away in a residential area, where you…

Day 4 Walkies: Shoreline Community Center Track

Just off of 185th Street and 5th Ave NE, is the track and football field; just adjacent to the Shoreline Spartan Community Center. The track is nice and flat, made with an artificial ground material…rubber I think. It’s great for my knees especially after yesterday’s walk at Shoreview park.  Sadly, it’s also boring. Walking in a circle…
