I’m Back

November 18th, 2008

It’s been quite a week near Lake Greystone*, out on the edge of Pinebox… It all started more than a week ago, when I boarded a plane for Kansas City. I did a little photoblogging from my Facebook account, just because the iPhone app makes it so easy. The weather was about 20 degrees colder, [...]

About Flametoad

Flametoad is the personal website for Preston DuBose, a full-time e-commerce and credit card security professional for the higher-education market, a part-time RPG publisher, and a full-time husband and father.

I ignore conventional blogging wisdom and refuse to focus on a single topic. This website covers gaming, family life, marketing, security, literature, music, and just about anything else shiny that catches my eye.

Do you think I might be your long lost nephew, to whom you'd like to bequeath your vast financial empire? Find my e-mail address and read more of my bio on the About Flametoad page.

I get a small thrill every time someone bothers to respond to one of my posts. I get a big thrill when you post naked pictures of yourself. Well, not YOU.
