(Ha, and why it's good none of the players read my blog.)(Northern Continent Detail by Zak S.)I had been intending to run Zak Smith's Cube World setting since Zak began to publish the installments back in 2020. Cube World, literally a cube-shaped world with the campaign taking place on the "near face" of the cube, is the overall campaign setting that contains Zak's major published works: Vornheim: The Complete City …

In 1983 Roald Dahl reviewed Tony Clifton’s picture book God Cried about the 1982 Lebanon War. In the review Dahl says of the Israelis “Never before in the history of man has a race of people switched so rapidly from being much-pitied victims to barbarous murderers” Mark Rosenblatt’s debut play is inspired by the fall out from that review and the beginning of Dahl’s reputation as an anti-semite. John Lithgow …

A trait that seems to be core to my personality, but has definitely gotten me in trouble, is that I’m not one to ‘take sides.’ While I have affiliations (Oaklander, GenXer, Democrat), I don’t have much of a tribal sense. I never had school spirit. Apart from the companies I started, I was never employed anywhere for longer than 2 years. I voted for Nader in 1996 and 2000 (and …

Note: This article is based on updated research and is intended to replace my old article on Melchizedek, written several years ago. It has also been produced as a documentary at the MythVision YouTube channel. Melchizedek. You’ve probably heard that name before, but many Christians would be hard-pressed to tell you who he was or […]

My dear wife, Kathryn Farley, just woke me this Friday the 20th from a nap with something that she said was amazing. She told me it was the top most viewed video of the entire day—over a million views. It was indeed terrific—especially for a video by women who work in complexity theory. A Result From Simons As part of their flashback series, they are sharing one of the most …

So there I was, experimenting with HTML password inputs and Web Components. I'm not sure why the idea even came up but it quickly snowballed into a curious expedition. The result from the journey was a set of custom elements that provide extra functionality and information about the text being typed into a password input field. I shared my CodePen demo in a Mastodon post and soon after decided to …

I recently entered the Shropshire Shufflers’ Severn Bridges 10k in Shrewsbury (after a little bit of a kerfuffle where it wouldn’t accept my affiliated club name) and ran with Gaz to celebrate his birthday. Never expected Gaz to choose a 10k to as a birthday celebration and yet here we are; I like to think of it as my good influence as a long time runner Katie, at lifeofamissfit… Source

A website for family, friends, and anyone who lands there to enjoy my photos. For a long time after quitting Instagram in 2021, my photos were nowhere to be seen. Sometimes I would post a few pictures on my blog but it never felt quite right. I thought there had to be a reason to publish one or more pictures, or a similarity between them to build a story. With …

After 7 long years, Linkin Park is back with their new lead singer Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara, new song "Emptiness Machine", new album "From Zero" (out on November 15), and a new tour.

Tourists and surfers strolling down the Santa Monica pier in 1979 would have passed a mysterious awning advertising “The Natural Museum of Modern Art”. A nearby explanatory panel did little to clarify: “The Natural Museum of Modern Art project is part of an ongoing interest by the John Doe Co in natural objects and phenomena.” […]

Recently, I started a new project. I react to the accessibility of more or less randomly picked websites.Before you get too excited, It's in German. I feel more comfortable recording live reactions to websites I have never seen in my native language. However, I may try it in English if there's demand. So far, I've recorded four videos: Wie barrierefrei ist gruene.at? Wie barrierefrei ist fpoe.at? Wie barrierefrei ist bierpartei.eu? …
