Puzzle 247: Fencing Match 30

I'm sure that some of you (or maybe none of you) are wondering about whether I'll do anything special for my upcoming 250th puzzle. Well, of course I will -- I have had puzzle 250 made for quite some time, and now all I need to do is make 249 other puzzles.
I'm also sure that some of you (or none of you) are wondering about the status of that cake I designed for my 22nd birthday. Well, there's only one bakery my mother has used many times before, including on her most recent birthday, and therefore trusts with a cake of such epic proportions -- but it's in Abilene. She is holding out until she doesn't have to be in Dallas anymore, so we can more properly celebrate my 22nd birthday, no matter how late it is. I promise to have photos of the cake when we actually have it made. :)

Puzzle 246: Straight and Arrow 16

He's posting FOUR Straight and Arrow puzzles in one day? What. . . the. . . heck. . .? (No, I didn't make them all today -- two of them have been sitting around doing nothing on my graph paper notebook for quite some time now. I'm lazy.)

Puzzle 239: Polyominous 26

Happy belated Independence Day/4th of July, people who reside in the Central or Eastern time zones of the United States. To celebrate, solve this easy puzzle with the givens in the shape of four 4's. (Sure, there may not be a ton of 4's in the grid to tie the theme together, but who gives a darn?)

Puzzle 236: Room and Reason 14

While this has totally nothing to do with the logic puzzle below (if your imagination is twisted enough to find a connection, then you're insane), I totally recommend the webcomic Housepets!. The title is enough to inform you what it's about, but you have to read it to truly appreciate the cuteness and humor. Or something; I'm no good at promoting things.

Puzzle 234: Quad-Wrangle 11

I actually made this puzzle a few weeks ago, but didn't get around to actually vetting it until just today. The good thing about such circumstances is that I have less memory of the puzzle when I'm test-solving, making it a little more interesting. The bad thing, of course, is that it's slower, and who likes slow things?

Puzzle 232: Twincognito 13

I think it's interesting to realize how many puzzles I've posted here in Dallas (almost 50 so far). I was scared that having to use a laptop would slow this blog down, but apparently not.

Puzzle 230: Writer's Block 2

Because tattoos are people's favorite things to put on skin! (My skin would react badly to one, so I can't have any.)

Rules of Writer's Block

Rules -- Writer's Block

1. Divide the grid into pieces along the grid lines in accordance with the following rules.
2. Every set of symbols shown below the grid must be contained in a number of pieces containing those symbols, and no others. The number after the times sign indicates how many pieces must contain that set of symbols; for example, ABCDE × 5 means that 5 pieces must have one each of the letters A, B, C, D, and E.
