Posted on September 5, 2011 by Jonathan J. Reinhart

CWF Editor's Choice Award for SinglesThe Whiz store moved to a new location during Hurricane Irene. The new place can be found at 122 Turnpike Street (aka Rte 9 East) about 2 miles east of their old location.

Chris Walsh, who owns the store with his wife Lynne, invited me down for a pre-opening tour. That didn’t happen until today because of the problems the Verizon strike caused me. They opened the new spot on September 1st.

The Move

Posted on August 25, 2011 by Jonathan J. Reinhart

The move is complete. Last Friday my wife and I moved into our condo. Aside from the movers being an hour late it went well. Numerous trips bringing boxes between the old and new locations completed the move.

The condo is bigger than our old apartment, of a good size for our needs, but only one bedroom. That means I will still podcast near our rabbits. They will, from time to time, be heard on the show. For animals that don’t create many vocal noises than can still be loud.

There are a few gaming world benefits to the new condo as well. It cuts my commute in half, is much closer to The Whiz (in their new location opening on September 1st) with a reasonable commute to Battleground Games in Plainville, and space exists for my very own painting table.

Copyrighted Materials & Blogging

Posted on August 24, 2011 by Jonathan J. Reinhart

Earlier this week a Facebook status existed on the issue of bloggers using copyrighted material without permission of the copyright holder. In the case of that status the copyright holder had a bit of trouble with a blogger who used maps on their blog without asking permission.

This prompted some thoughtful internal discussion on my end. Some information was missing such as who the blogger is, how did they use the maps, did they try to get permission (was it denied), are they making money from the maps, etc etc.

Digging into the topic revealed some answers, which led to discussion between myself and another blogger. We spent most of our conversation feeling out where we stand on the issue. The blogger I spoke with said their first thought would not have been to contact the copyright holder. They would credit the maps, provide links to the content, and leave it as such.

This is a tricky subject, which I do not claim to have any legal training, expertise, or formal experience with. I don’t have the answers here. But, I do know what I do.
