Shortly, I will take off to the 11th century by attending Gulf Wars in Mississippi, a 5000-person SCA medieval reenactment camp. I will not be bringing technology, so my tech posting will be on hiatus until I return. If you see a picture of me dancing in a tavern, Yes, that is probably me. See you soon!
