03.18.08Vale Gary GygaxAs someone whose formative years were fairly heavily driven by being the nerdy kid who played Dungeons and Dragons (and even now, only not nearly so often), the passing of Gary Gygax nearly two weeks ago marks something of a milestone in the things that make me who I am. That said, I'm not beyond having a chuckle at this:Gary, thanks for the memories. You'll be missed.

12.10.06flOwIf you haven't seen flOw, you've got to go take a look! It's an insanely addictive Flash-based game centered on psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's notion of "flow", wherein the participant achieves "the feeling of complete and energized focus in an activity, with a high level of enjoyment and fulfillment". flOw was developed as a part of Jenova Chen's MFA thesis.

09.27.06Halo 2 music rocks out!If you read Kotaku or watch videos on YouTube, you've probably seen this already. For the uninitiated, it's a (badly shot, and with dodgy sound) video of a high school band rocking out the Halo 2 theme on stage. Kotaku have covered it comprehensively with an original post and a follow-up interview with Hanah Stuart, the talented violinist (she's now at Juilliard!). More impressive, Marty O'Donnell, the audio director of Bungie complimented the show on the Bungie-hosted Halo forums (fora?).
