Laziness, Impatience & Hubris

I don't program in Perl, but its author, Larry Wall, is a great human being with some advice that goes way beyond making computers do things. (Link to the full interview.)

Another Humble Bundle


I spent several hours playing Trine, today. It's good fun, if you're willing to overlook the efficacy of shooting skeletons with arrows. (Link.)

Music Video

re-blogged from BoingBoing


I was recently watching some music videos on the inter-tubes, just to see what could be seen, and came quickly to the conclusion that this had become a redundant, irrelevant art form (if it ever really was more than an advertising spot for pop music records).

I bumped into this today which has a great aesthetic, and maybe changed my mind.

As a side note, I have noticed that more and more commercial video content made in the United States is blocked for me overseas, whether comedy, cartoon, or music . . . I do not really understand why except for some odd attempt by media conglomerates to "combat piracy" of content they have already made freely available.
