At the airport (I'm giving a talk this coming week). Killing time with Steven Gellis's 50 Lua Programming Exercises. (Change of pace from doing math problem sets to soothe myself while traveling. I thought it might be a nice break from abstract algebra.) (Yes, I know I'm weird. :3)

When you get really good at assembling Ikea you are then leveled up to a bonus round: assembling it around an affectionate cat

I need a project. What's a narrative tool project that nobody's done that you would use? Some missing Godot plugin? Dialogue authoring spreadsheet? Interactive comic framework? Bonus points if you'd pay me money for it, obviously, but that's not a requirement.

It has come to my attention that HOW TO BECOME THE DARK LORD AND DIE TRYING is ON SALE at the Kindle (US) store for $2.99! I think this will continue to be true as we approach the launch of the sequel! a.co/d/3C8edyA

I confess I'm awaiting the inevitable devolution into TV megachurch generative sermons.

Content warning for the linked Wikipedia article if you can't deal with terrifying medical grue. Just don't click. :] (I grew up in a surgeon's household, but...)

Today's deep-cut deity: Alala, the personification of the war cry. This is the closest we have to a Greek god of screaming, which probably offers us a lesson. If life makes you want to scream, turn it into a war cry!

I'm genuinely baffled as to why you'd attempt to receive money for an antique spinning wheel, even as a fixer-upper, when among the things you DISCLOSE in an advert with obfuscated photos, IT'S MISSING THE WHEEL?! At that point is this not glorified firewood?! What am I not understanding?!

I have decided that the funniest fictional rental "petting zoo" animal for mecha space opera purposes is the capybara.

Things one misses when one mutes a lot of words on Bluesky: seattlein2025.org/2025/04/30/s... I'm withdrawing MOONSTORM for consideration for the Lodestar Award (formerly a finalist). I've emailed my contact. (No, I'm not attending nor had I applied to be on a panel.)

Ok! They’re dropping their next EP on May 19 BUT we’re getting a special mini album tomorrow! I wonder if it’s going to have remixes of their greatest hits? May 2 is their anniversary!! And the music here is a callback to “Latata” #kpop #idle #gidle

The satisfaction when the dang thing compiles. (Hobby.) Also, at this point STUPID JANKY TYPO bugs are my faves because they're so easy to detect and then fix. (I live in terror of fencepost errors, personally. Fortunately haven't YET had to worry about race conditions.)

New credo for myself: Thou shalt not covet a spinning wheel. Thou shalt not covet a spinning wheel. Thou shalt not covet a spinning wheel. Okay, back to writing (work) and direct warping the rigid heddle loom and Defold coding. :p (I need thinking breaks anyway!)

Direct warping my rigid heddle loom: n00b attempt. Wish me luck?? Sorry for the garbage state of my worktable lolsob. (I have a migraine. This is what I can do to occupy myself until it goes away.)

This is a major announcement from us: our next game, in a new universe - not Fallen London! - and a new genre. We hope you'll watch!

Over at Image, De Campi/Krumbhaar and excellent artists transcribe a bunch of true war stories from across decades, gathered from interviews, into comics, into a big ol' trade collection. All profits to service-related charities. I love seeing people do this kind of thing. #WeReadsComics

...remembering a few years ago, the guy who cold-emailed me to the tune of "why can't I get an agent, how did you get yours?" I responded with how it happened. Upon learning I had no secret handshake to offer (to him or anyone), his response included the phrase "You're no use to me" (direct quote).
