The game designer Paul Czege has just launched a new newsletter called ‘Say We Do’. I can’t tell you to go sign up on Substack or Ghost because it’s not that sort of newsletter – it’s a PDF. And if you want to read it, it’s a dollar on itch.io. Say We Do is a “Paul Czege Broadsheet”. It’s my thoughts about games as I’m making them. It’s things I …

My friend Russell started a new project, and it’s well worth sharing. It’s called Haudoo (pronounced: how do), and it’s a collection of short, no-nonsense books on how to do something. Russell is great at presentations, so it makes sense the first book is “How to do presentations”. Russell is recruiting other people to contribute content for other Haudoo books, such as how to write a blog post, or how …

As you’ve seen from the site, I’ve been really into the forthcoming Elephant Stone LP, which finally drops tomorrow! While we initially got into the band with their psychedelic sounds, Back Into the Dream seems to be offering a glimpse at a band working their way into other musical realms. For me, while I can certainly hear the psych nods in the mix, there’s something about this that feels more …

Finished reading: Dark Needs at Night’s Edge by Kresley Cole 📚 My favorite Immortals After Dark book so far. A burlesque dancer becomes a ballerina, ends up a ghost, and falls in love with a vampire who is trapped in the New Orleans Gothic manor that she haunts. 🌹👻🩰

The National Capital Planning Commission’s 100th anniversary is this year, and I was very chuffed that I was invited to present, alongside some distinguished planning professionals, at the kickoff of its centennial celebrations on January 23, 2024. This was a really cool event: The six of us each chose a document in NCPC’s digital library, and talked about it. (No technical difficulties befell anyone’s screen-sharing while on Zoom, and we …

A Woman Under the Influence (1974)Gina Rowlands plays Mabel Longhetti, a nice woman who's married to Nick (Peter Falk). According to the movie, she has a serious drinking problem, but it looks like more of a mental issue, as she's off-kilter whether she's been drinking or not. When she's been drinking, though, she's available for being picked up at a bar. Nick is about as nuts. He brings all

Random increases in attributes for no discernible reason were characteristic of this oddly "blessed" session--at least for a while. Aamanz the Caveman didn't get very far. I overestimated the strength of the caveman's stomach, and he died of poison after eating a rotting kobold corpse. But I did pretty well with the next character, Aanzim the Archaeologist (god: Quetzalcoatl). The archaeologist is modeled on Indiana Jones, starting each life with …

Yes, this is a clickbait title, but it’s also (mostly) true. If you’re not familiar with Tailwind (bless your heart), it’s a “utility-first CSS framework.” I’ve written about my disdain for Tailwind before, but today I wanted to share an article from someone else that I think make my points better than I did. I also want to share what I think is a better path forward. Let’s dig in! …

I got a cheap used copy of the book A Programmer's Guide to COMMON LISP by Deborah G. Tatar, Digital Press, 1987. Why did I read such an old book, published a few years after CLtL1 and well before ANSI finalized the Common Lisp standard? I'm always looking for good Lisp books. Since Medley is my primary Lisp environment, I'm particularly interested in books published when the system was originally …

Drew was smiling for the camera tonight while I was trying to figure out how to use it . The post Smiles appeared first on @Kevuhnn.

It is showtime for the commercial Odysseus Moon lander, ready to attempt later today a touchdown on the lunar terrain. Following lunar orbit insertion on February 21st, Intuitive Machines notes its lander is in excellent shape for Odysseus’ “hardest challenge yet” – an expected 1630 Central Standard Time (5:30 […]

Sometime near 1948 Fiore Cerra took an aerial photograph of Carbondale, Pennsylvania that captured how very different a place it was just 75 years ago or so. I live near Carbondale and the moment I saw Cerra’s aerial I knew I wanted to try to recreate it. Well, in early 2023 I did and I uploaded a quick comparison of the two images to Instagram at the time. Recently, however, …

Sometimes people ask me why I’m now doing science news. It’s so that you can fully appreciate the drama of scientific discovery, in which one result contradicts a previous one and the next one finds a flaw in this other one. I think the entertainment-value of science is greatly underappreciated. And quantum computing is without doubt one of the most dramatic areas at the moment. One the one

If there was a kind of set that was expressed as a function, we could possibly pipeline operations, reducing memory impact. Is that possible, and is it a good idea? So far, maybe not.
