A photo of my open “Into the unknown” book on a wooden plank table propped up on some drift wood. There are some sand dollar pieces in the foreground and a shell-shaped bowl behind the propped up book. The ocean is visible off in the distance. The book has a piece of abstract painted canvas in teal and magenta on the left and some abstract graphite marks on the right.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

It turns out that linear time makes life easier, but the tangled tapestry of time-traveling and creating different versions of yourself makes for a much more entertaining story, as @zazzeaux.bsky.social demonstrates in "Matter and Time Conspire".
Matter and Time Conspire - Small Wonders
When time was linear, life was easier. We knew what to expect, based on what had been. But now we go forwards and back and sometimes what changes is not an event, but us.

Zork is now open source
Two years ago, I wrote: Microsoft-the-company does not care about Infocom. But a lot of people in Microsoft must care. Microsoft is heavily populated by greying GenX nerds just like me. Folks who grew...

Okay, in fairness, this is only my own work and not the result of a conference. But in unfairness: I thought it would be funniest to just plant this flag as soon as possible.
