Nice day...amazingly beautiful day!

We took a drive out to Ladner, to the far south of Vancouver, as we are considering moving there. Wonderful little town...quaint, but not in a fake, hideous 'recreated' way. It's also not closed-in and crowded feeling like much of Vancouver and the other cities around it.

In short, we are going to end up giving notice to our current place and moving there. :) It'll be in a place with much less crime, and I'll be much closer to work.

Saw some cool stuff there too :) Like this house (popup)! It's nestled along a very normal street, between bland condos and some single-family-dwellings. I'd definitely like to live there, just because anyone who I wanted to come visit us would have any easy time finding it. Hell, the blind would have an easy time finding it :) We saw a small house for rent just down the street from it too. If we rent that, it would be very interesting to find out who the owners are.

My curiosity for the day...what does it take to get a board game published? Every big board game phenomenon that I've seen was self-published (ie. Trivial Pursuit sure did well once it was released, but it was a hard, expensive fight to get it there for the designers). I have ideas, but it seems very difficult to get one off the ground and into the homes of geeks.
