Amazingly atmospheric freeware platform game (name of Knytt) that defies description. Not a lot of complicated gameplay but one of the most well-created alternate worlds I’ve seen… Minimal but lovely.

The same creator made another game called Within a Deep Forest which comes recommended but I’m not quite as crazy about it; mainly because the hero is a bouncing ball which I find a little difficult.

It bears repeating: David Shrigley is brilliant. Buy his books if he has any or purchase some of his art if he has any for sale. This will be his recompense for my selfish use without permission of images from his website.

This is the 1975 yearbook of Korean elementary school Kyung Bok. Trim the URL to go up a level and see links to powerpoint presentations about their 30th reunion, which I’m sure are well worthy of a look though I haven’t yet.

I heart flash retro-gaming. This one is from Nintendo and is a satisfying if simple platform game.

We’ll make a little gentleman’s agreement, you and I. I’ll almost never post anything here, and you’ll almost never read anything here.

I had a few stupid computer tricks to post, but I only really remember one of them at the moment. More to follow eventually, I suppose.

Periodically, for one reason and another, I am in a position to extract an image from a MS Word doc. An ugly position that is to be in, but this is the way life is sometimes. Historically, I would just screencap it and then do what I will with it in Photoshop or what-have-you but this is sub-optimal.

Somewhere or other, I came across the nice way to do it. Save the page as HTML - then the *real* image will be separated from the doc and put in an ‘images’ directory.

For now the only other computer trick I can think of is, download and install Firefox, then go look for neat extensions to it. Watch out, some of them make it more crashy. But there are a bunch for web development that are oh SO useful. Such as tools to outline all block elements and so forth. You want links? Good lord, I’m sure you can find them yourself.
