Summer Content

We fed the Washington Capitals into a Magic: the Gathering AI and learned a lot

Hello. I am proud to report that I successfully put the names of every 2022-23 active roster Caps player into Urza’s AI, a Magic: The Gathering card generator. For those who don’t know, Magic: The Gathering is a collectible card game in which two powerful beings fight each other by summoning creatures or casting spells. For those who don’t know, the Washington Capitals is an organization that exists purely to get Alex Ovechkin to 895 goals.

Anyway, it’s August. There’s no hockey in August. This is all I’ve got. Hashtag summer content.

The best way to pass time at a Canadian music festival is to count all the NHL hats people are wearing

Before getting my start writing for RMNB, I ran an online music magazine. Through my love of live music, I found an interest in photography and thanks to my dire need to shoot Warped Tour in 2009, I began taking photography seriously.

Photographing concerts took me to many festivals and started an addiction of sorts. After going to festivals for work, attending as a guest took a bit of an adjustment. That is when the games started.
