Industrial accidents are no joke, but they can be a fun theme for a game. At least, I recently played a game on the web about an industrial accident that was, in fact fun. The game was called, not surprisingly, Industrial Accident. The setting is an automated factory, where you play an artificial intelligence worker […]
This may stretch the limits of what even I consider “fun”. Ever since I was in junior high, I’ve been a little too interested in nuclear war. Personally, I blame the Cold War and movies like . It looks kind of cheesy now, but back in the day, we were all terrified that this was […]
More self-education at lunch. This is a little less work oriented than last week and certainly less technical, but it’s still the same idea. It’s an email newsletter, which seem to be gaining a bit in popularity again. In this case, it’s a curated email, sent weekly, filled with content that the site owners claim […]
Also, they’re free. In 2015, Sploid, a sub-site of Gizmodo, had a short film festival. Just to be clear, that’s a festival of short films. There were 21 films, many of which include some actors you may recognize. All the films were creative and, frankly, pretty amazing. And, let’s face it, it’s Friday and you’re […]

Not necessarily what people typically think of as “modern art”. Not, as I recently heard someone describe it “Murals made […]
I’ve talked a lot about writing this month, so this week, I thought I’d throw in some more photography stuff. I’ve actually had these links for some time, but I have never gotten around to either sharing them or even actually trying them myself. Still, I’ve never let a lack of personal experience with something […]
I love design from the 60’s. I’m also, oddly enough, a fan of architectural models, too. There’s something weirdly science-fictional about the conjunction of those two things, too, that I really enjoy. The kind of retro-future that they were trying to manufacture in the 60’s is just so, well, so quaint. It’s not that they’re […]
Another one for the photography geeks. Some of you may have guessed that I enjoy photography just a little bit. You may have deduced that from all the photography related links I share on Fridays. Or possibly because I tell you am obsessed by it virtually every chance I get. Either way, it’s true. I […]
