The Incoherent List Of Things

Be warned. This is more a list to myself than anything else. I need to summarize my thoughts somewhere in a simple to-do list type schematic so I won't have to keep everything in mind all the time. Should you for some reason still feel like reading it, be my guest. I warned you. This is probably as incoherent train-of-thought writing as it's ever going to get.

Make No Wonder

And here's the single reason why I won't be posting anything today. It's called Make No Wonder and is a procedurally-generated wilderness landscape in HTML5 Canvas and stuff. And quite frankly I didn't think it would capture me so. But it did. Curse you Matthew Hollett! He's also created Onopo which is a thing of beauty.

Now go! Play Make No Wonder and tell me what you thought.

A Revisit To Nostalgia Avenue

Reading about beije's never-ending gaming session got me thinking about how gaming has contributed to shape who I am. Well not just me obviously but then again, this isn't a blog about other people so…

Join me as I go back to the early 90's and look at where and how it all started.

He Did It All For The Beans

Yeah, this one is about coffee. Again. But to be fair, it has been awhile since I last wrote about coffee and thanks to the power of "the jump" you can actually choose not to read it. How cool is that? It's pretty cool, that's how. But you're going to want to read it, aren't you?

Back To The Regular Broadcasting Schedule

Welcome to the new year. It's just like the last one, except you're quite likely hungover whilst I'm not. Now that I've completed my challenge of besting the number of posts for 2011 — by one but that still counts — I thought I would reward myself by doing something some people have been doing for years and I'm… well… just behind the curve in that regard. Time to play the catch-up game.

Looking Both Ways (A Recap)

And so we're here again. Tomorrow I can proudly wear my imaginary "I survived the Mayan Apocalypse, Twice!" t-shirt and make fun of people. Tomorrow I will officially — and unofficially I might add — been without smoking for exactly 100 days. Which mean I — or We — have spent roughly £544 on other stuff. I also celebrated my 300th post a few posts ago, but I decided — I forgot, okay? — not to make a big deal — no one really cares but me — about it. Tomorrow, it will stop being 2012 — for those of us using the Gregorian Calendar at least — and start being 2013.

So sit down, this is going to be a long one.

The Bechdel Test

You there! Yes… you. Go, donate! Donate now! Next year I am going to write more about why we all should all care about this. Because you should. Feministfrequency.com is pretty awesome and very, very needed.
