If it were not for Bill Atkinson’s HyperCard, Rand and I would have never begun making games and we would have never made Myst and Riven. He was a gentle soul and a brilliant human. We owe so much to him.

I haven’t seen these for decades. I’m not sure these were finals, especially the grayscale map on the left. Even so, cool beans.

I had a blast hanging out with Ron, Joel, and Jawmaster at the Retro Repair Roundup last night. We talked about everything from the birth of Cyan, to the joys of creating our early 1 bit kids games, to some of our early inspirations.

A two year old baby forced onto a plane by her government—our government. That’s what Ilan Wurman and Kurt Lash and their academic collaborators and defenders have been paving the way for with their bullshit articles. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

AI is slop trash? Please don’t tell me it’s because it steals from artists. I’m an artist. Every half-decent artist steals from everything they’ve seen. Art is ideas. Concepts. Expression. AI is a tool with which one can create new ideas. AI is not creative and cannot express (and I’m not your guy.)

Myst action figures and island collectibles. Failed due to shoddy production and bad marketing.

I decided to play around with Claude.ai to see if I could simulate living organisms. These swimmers eat nutrients, they grow, battle, form families, and give birth. claude.site/artifacts/50...

Do you see a house? It’s right there, I promise! In Queen Anne, Seattle. I’ve met the owner: peculiar but kind. I like to wonder, does the inside mirror the outside?

I’ve always been terrified of painting with oils, but I’ve finally taken my first baby steps. Messy but very fun!

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”
