Terra firma
Landed in Columbus last night, via Philadelphia. Early critical reviews suggest I did a very good job as an air passenger, significantly exceeding all expectations based on past performance.
See my Twitter feed from yesterday for the blow-by-blow, plus some postmortem commentary. Somehow the flight on the smaller jet between PHL and CMH was ( Read more... ) -

Passing the time at Logan, with Amy. For whatever reason, this trip has been preceded by the worst case of aviophobic freakout I've ever experienced. It's been something like a single mid-intensity panic attack, stretched over three days. I can try speculating why this is, but it wouldn't help. I've been talking about it with Amy and that's helped ( Read more... ) -

You really have to appreciate the elegance of the statement "Gender is a text field." -
Instagram
After reading articles about it like this one, I installed Instagram onto my iPhone, and I have to admit it's pretty fun.
It's surprising what a handful of simple, preset masks and color filters (and a fall-down-easy interface for applying them) can do to turn blah phone photos into cool little artsy pieces. Earlier today, for example, I snapped a ( Read more... ) -

That's the final dollar amount of Zarf's fundraiser. I know, right?
Warmest congratulations and excitements to radiotelescope, who will officially launch his full-time, solo game-development career with the start of 2011! It's been a long time coming. -
Last chance to support Zarf & better videogames
Today's the final day of Zarf's Kickstarter drive. It hit 300% funding weeks ago, and we're vying to get him over $30,000 (and nearly 400%!) before midnight.
I wrote more about this over on The Gameshelf. Summary: supporting this work isn't just a pledge to help improve the state of modern interactive fiction. It also helps prove that passionate ( ( Read more... ) -
Wait, "Blog"?
• If I have been using LJ more, it's largely because I've finally gotten around to subscribing to various LJ-friends' (and, increasingly, Dreamwidth-friends') RSS feeds, using the proper kung-fu that allows the reading of locked posts therein. It's a small hassle to treat every "friend" as a separate blog, but since I've gotten used to curating a ( Read more... ) -
And
I appreciate the kind words and sympathy regarding my mother. Thank you.
I don't know what will happen but I am confident that it will be as OK as it can, because I don't stand alone. -
WRT Jesus, for reals
I am under the impression that several of this blog's readers have nonzero knowledge or interest in the topic of the Historical Jesus: the ancient Jewish prophet and rabble-rouser. No more divine than you or I, perhaps, but apparently possessing of a remarkable presence, and maybe a shocking orator for his time, so outrageous that the authorities ( Read more... )
