Today's Mighty Oak


Quick update for everyone, hopefully I’ll be back with more soon. Ā First up, get ready for Bowtie Tuesdays, returning in September! Ā So for now, learn how to tie a bowtie with Bill Nye:

Apartment Therapy goes over how to disguise video games on a book shelf. Ā Seems like a lot of work, but I guess if you’re going for a certain look, go for it.

Ā I’m not sure what the status is of the rumored prequels and off shoots (three prequels and two off shoot trilogies), but I’m not really holding my breath. Ā Here’s the cover, and aside from “The Fires of Heaven,” it’s probably my favorite title in the series:

That’s it for now, but I’ll hopefully be back soon!
