For the longest time I’ve had a fascination with procedural and evolutionary games. I can distinctly date it back at least as far as high school, to The Game, which Maxim, Damien, myself and assorted others lavished our brief highlight teenage years on dreaming over. Sadly at the time my programming was limited to RealBasic… Read more
I cleaned my bathroom yesterday. I suppose in the grand scheme of things it’s not the most exciting way to spend a Sunday morning, but, I kinda enjoy it – it’s nice to be cleaning, while listening to music, and for the most part not having any immediate concern about anything beyond the six feet… Read more
