…on the Internet, but this is actually incredibly awesome. (Note: if you just see the normal video, try logging out and then going to the link again. For me there seems to be some sort of problem where it usually doesn’t work when I’m logged in.)

Hello anyone out there: I’ve got this Game of the Year poll that I run on some web forums I frequent. The way it works is that you rank your favorite games of the year– up to 20, though vote for as many or as few as you want– and the script will sort out [...]

This is a little off from the normal format of this blog, but what the heck. I had a conversation last week with some people who were frustrated that they saw a lot of discussion about lack of progress on LGBT rights, but didn’t see the kind of practical, meat-and-potatoes organizing on LGBT issues as they [...]

So my Jumpman game has a level editor, and I thought I should make a place for people to put the level packs they’ve made. Until I think of a better way to do this: if you made a level pack you want to share, zip up the .jmp and email it to jumpmanlevels@gmail.com and I’ll [...]

Hey. This is mostly just to say, did you see the video game of the year poll I did last year? Well, I’m doing it again this year, and the voting is up and running right now this instant. The poll gives you a list of [an attempt at] almost every game released last year, [...]

Short version: Just watch this video. Okay, now what was that? So a few months back some of my friends were passing around these videos of something called “Kazio Mario World“, which I was told, at first, translated to “Asshole Mario World”. This turned out to have actually been a misunderstanding of something [...]

Short version: Click here to vote So for the last few years I’ve been hosting a “Game of the Year” poll for a video game forum I frequent, using a voting script I wrote. There’s now more than one forum involved in the voting, so I figured I might as well post a link here too. [...]

For the last week I’ve been playing this game called “Super Mario Galaxy”, and if it isn’t the best game ever made, then it’s in the top three. It has fanservice by the buckets, and a soundtrack that soars as if the game itself is just happy it is being played, and little blue tractor [...]

SHORT VERSION So I’ve made this website for building blog communities, and it’s called datafall.org. Datafall lets you start these things called “blogcircles”. If there’s some group of people– maybe the people from your web forum, or your fish club, or just your circle of friends– that you know have blogs, you can go start a [...]

Computer Science can be said to predate even the idea of a computer itself by at least two millennia, in the sense that even before Babbage started designing calculating engines (for simplicity, I will here ignore mechanical calculation devices which predate Babbage), mathematicians had for a long time been analyzing “algorithms”, mathematical procedures which behave [...]

This is a copy of a letter I wrote to various congressthings.

So last week I made a little custom variation on an old computer program called the “Game of Life”, with the hopes that my version could be used to demonstrate neat things about quantum physics. As chronicled in my last blog post, that basically didn’t work at all. However, despite not working the way I’d [...]

I’ve had this blog for awhile, but barely posted in it. I’m tired of this, and it’s strange because the reason I haven’t posted isn’t a lack of things to say, the problem is just plain not getting around to writing anything. So, an experiment: From now on, I’m going to start making a post [...]
