March 19th 2013:
      It's almost spring, yet a big snowstorm is going on in Derry, NH as of the time I first wrote this is my journal an hour or so ago. PAX East is mere days away and yet this two round storm is ****ing up the roads. While I'm not happy a bout it at least it didn't hit during the weekend, as that would have thrown a monkey wrench into things for convention day on Saturday. I know that i'll once again meet up with friend mistyolr and alphacanaogram. If they are not here then they are most certainly on their way via train from st Louis Missouri and little rock, Arkansas. Meanwhile a friend from Toronto has vanished into thin air, and he wont respond to my many diverse attempts to contact him. One of his closer friends doesn't even know his current number. Unless a miracle happens, I guess I wont be meeting up with him unfortunately.

   In other news Google has announced that it RSS feed service Google Reader will be being discontinued, with a three month period to transition posts to another RSS feed readers. Personally I am disappointed because I've been a user of the service for years, and me and my in real life friend erik robokun williams have used it for the random insanity series of weekly gaming podcasts. Google claims it was due to declining usage, i find this hard to believe. Also i concerned because of the trend Google seems to be doing over the last few years. Ever since Google labs was shutdown, they have been working on consolidating services or discontinuing. In 0000 Google wave was the victim, and now Google reader and god knows what else will follow that path. Thats all for now. I'll be sure to post an update after PAX east is all done with.
