As I've discussed before, I have a habit of trying and eventually failing to create a balance between using social media and actually getting benefits from its use. Many people find themselves in the same boat, too. That is clear to anyone, who like me, is constantly advertised a different "dumb phone" every week....
Woke up around 8:30 ish to the sounds of the waves. After chilling out for a bit, we headed over to Bagel 101 on the PCH, then walked over to Starbucks for some tea. I finished and uploaded my 5th song for the year. My Distributor is sending it out to all the venues now.. Suddenly Lions was inspired by my barista's...
Cultic Chapter One was an already extremely impressive game. Telling the story of a detective who runs afoul of a mysterious cult, it was a step-by-step journey through a mountainous region that featured rather excellent level design, a killer soundtrack, and first person shooter gameplay that found its own chaotic,...
With the Peppo team here in Bangalore and other commitments, the week was crazy busy. I met at least half of the Peppo team in person for the first time. We have a great team at Peppo. As Mohammed said in one of our conversations, the Peppo team is not only talented but also filled with good human beings. We’ve been...
Boomer shooter Cultic comes from solo developer Jason Smith under the Jasozz Games. It’s a fascinating title that pays homage to various older games, but remixes its various elements into something that feels perfectly at home to the eras it pays tribute to.

Continuing the letter writing fever, I’ve been exploring the academic work called Letters As Loot by Gijsbert Rutten and Marijke J. van der Wal. It’s a treasure trove of information on how letters were written in the 17th and 18th century, based on a corpus of 50k letters that were captured by raiding ships between...
Earlier this month my blog turned 11 years old and, truth be told, I never thought in August 2015 that I would still be at it in 2026 (though admittedly, for the past year my output has diminished from 3-5 to only one post per week as I quit writing music reviews). Over the past 11 years, I’ve published 2,016 posts...
[This is one of the finalists in the 2026 book review contest, written by an ACX reader who will remain anonymous until after voting is done. I’ll be posting about one of these a week for several months. When you’ve read them all, I’ll ask you to vote for a favorite, so remember which ones you liked]1. A New Cause...
I would be very grateful for pointers to other recent empirical studies of the impact of AI on programming education that are more rigorous than the gushing slop being tossed around on LinkedIn. I’d be particularly grateful for studies that show negative or neutral results. @article{Abdulla2024, title = {Using...
