Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve last posted. This is mainly due to the fact that my internet at home is out, and I didn’t really feel like typing a post on a cell phone. Once I realized I could use the computers at the library to post, it was just pure laziness. […]

I was looking about in a pictures folder I don’t use anymore, and I found the little gem below (well, It’s a gem to me, at least). I threw it together in Paint.NET one afternoon, and titled it “Freehand Comix” because I had decided to use the freehand to draw this one, lending the characters […]

For years, I’ve been trying to write a full-length novel. I’ve written the beginnings of around three, all abandoned before completion. I recently realized that my real problem is disorganization. I don’t spend time plotting and writing outlines, I just dive in, and sometimes make notes here and there. “No more,” I said, “This time […]

Recently me and my brothers had talked about starting our own role-playing campaign, with myself as the GM. This was weeks ago, and only now did we start playing. There were a few setbacks. The first was deciding on a system. My brother had only had experience with Dungeons & Dragons, but I decided against […]

I’m setting up a game of Risus: The Anything RPG (myself being the GM), and although I know a lot of the rules by heart, it thought it would be nice to have a Risus “cheat sheet”, since I didn’t want to print out the whole rulebook but I’m getting that “running a system for […]

To any who read and liked the RPG I posted yesterday (look at me, thinking people actually read this blog), you will be happy to know I am working on a fuller description of the rules. It will include rules for equipment, some clarifications and exceptions, a mini-bestiary, a neato “Mark” system (you’ll see), the […]

Today I was reading a discussion page here in which the thread starter challenged others on the site to create an entire RPG in 365 seconds (about six minutes). Despite this ridiculous time frame, several people commented with rules for complete, working RPGs, some of which I would actually consider playing. “Ha!” I said to […]

For at least a year I’ve been playing around with Microsoft Small Basic programming language. For those not in the know, Small Basic is a very recent basic dialect meant to introduce kids to programming. Although I’m fully capable of using “real” languages, I like creating small programs because A), I like to test how […]

Recently I realized that to complete this project in a sane amount of time (that is, short enough to satisfy my magpie-like attention span) I need to radically lower my standards. Here are a few stats: 2-bits of computation (with signs!). 3×2 RAM memory (that is, two bit integers with sign bits). “Cartridge” ROM memory, […]

After seeing the wonderful projects on the home-brew CPU webring a couple of months ago, I decided that it would be a neat if practically infeasible project to use the logic gate simulator on my PC to construct my own CPU. This decision was long before the inception of this blog, but I admit I […]
