General Comments. The Intro to Programming and the Vectors/Rotations sections have their own comment areas.
Never get a web page. After you put up the stuff you wanted to, it will look empty. You'll think it will take just a little big of time to add some fluff to fill it out a bit. This is probably also a good reason not to buy a big house.
| Book reviews: | |
|---|---|
| The urban fantasy romance sub-genre | Pop-corn fiction books have always been about authors looking at what's popular and giving people more of it. The good ones naturally grab a little bit of everything -- epic quest, hero with a troubled past, girl dressed as a boy, Aragorn analogue, orphans with unknown parentage, empire built on a dark secret, extreme Wesley-Crusher-itis. SteamPunk is sort of a genre, but it's really just a series of themes - the actual elements and plots vary wildly. It's pretty neat when someone sees a whole book they can repurpose and add to, then someone does the same, and pretty soon an organic sub-genre springs up. |
| Shakespeare | A surprising amount of slap-stick comedy, and crude jokes, and that's just the Histories |
| more reviews | Mostly SciFi/Fantasy books I found interesting, or hated. |
| Cell phone game misc: | |
| Ramblings in the clash-like freemium game genre | If you look at people's lists of related games, it's like they're picking things at random. Sure, designers will claim anything is a Rogue-like, but that's them trying to sell their game. And sure, most games are sort of like one thing and sort of like something else. But clash-like is a genre, darn it, and the definition isn't "has barbarians." |
| Misc Mobile game reviews | Not so much good games, but interesting ones |
| MN State Fair | Misc from my time working at the MN State Fair |
| Fan Fic about Taylor Swift's cats | This is original canon. That's a fancy way of saying I know very little of Taylor Swift, and when I heard she had cats I didn't need to hear any more. |
