Tara’s at Desert Bus For Hope!
Starting at 10am today, I’ll be hanging with a whole bunch of people playing “Desert Bus”, the “worst game ever.” It’s a real-time simulation of driving from Tucson to Vegas–an extremely boring stretch of desert that takes 8 hours to complete. As long as people keep donating money, our drivers […]
Tara Will Be Playing D&D…For the Kids!

Geek Etiquette: Game It Forward
I spent the weekend playing games (and cooking video game-themed food) to raise money for the Seattle Children’s Hospital through Extra Life. My team and I had a great time and ended up raising $2,722! One of the highlights was when Brandon Bozze, founder of Game It Forward, joined us […]
Happy Movember!
In honor of Movember, I made some mustache lollipops for the staff over at Bookr. Movember is an annual challenge to men: Don’t shave during the month of November to raise money for prostate cancer and other male cancer initiatives. It makes for some very entertaining faces in the Seattle […]
