Today is the feast-day of Saint John Chrysostom, one of the most despicable figures history has ever produced, and leader of the mob of idiots that destroyed the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. As much as I admire the stories and mythology of Christianity, and can [...]

Veterans Day
If you want to show your support for veterans, instead of making some jingoistic proclamation about soldiers fighting for your security, why don’t you donate some money to these people: Iraq Veterans Against the War They know what they’re talking about.

I Heart Keith, and other news
Not much to say. Verena, who was a little sick, is feeling better. I’m still gettting annoying headaches, apparently because of my neck – I spend too much time sitting at the computer and working on Phenomenon 32. I’d like to tell you some cool stuff about all the progress I’ve made, but that would [...]

20 Years Ago Today…
…the Berlin Wall fell, and the bureaucrats in power became the capitalists in power. Stalinism was replaced by capitalism, political oppression became economic depression. An evil system took the place of a perverted one, like a fallen angel handing the keys to Satan. And we’re supposed to pretend that this was a victory for freedom, [...]

BoingBoing and Propaganda
I don’t read BoingBoing regularly, but Verena does, and she usually points out the interesting stuff to me. Today, while looking through headlines, she found one that sounded really nasty: Police in Venezuela are rounding up gay/lesbian/bi/trans folk into vans and hauling them to jail by the dozens, according to reports. “Our IDs and mobile [...]

So when are we going to call persecution by its name?
The FBI has once again proven its dedication to democracy and human rights, this time by engaging in one of the favourite hobbies of the intelligence community: killing Muslims. Preferably poor ones. Abdullah, 53, was shot 18 times by an FBI “counterterrorism” squad in a warehouse in the suburb of Dearborn, after allegedly firing his [...]

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan
So, apparently, the Cylons didn’t really have one. It’s amazing, really. The Plan manages to make Battlestar Galactica – a series that prided itself on the fact that its four-season arc was completely unplanned – make even less sense. There were quite a few plot elements that felt rather forced in the actual series, but [...]

Unpleasant Things
If the last few days hadn’t been so full of headaches, work, a clogged nose, and a dislodged rib, the damn game might be finished now. I was even planning on submitting the game to the IGF. But I’ve had some revelations: I care more about critical recognition than I am probably willing to admit. [...]
