I think about this little guy all the damned time.
I saw him in the DIA collection almost ten years ago and he's remained a permanent fixture in my brain ever since.
Art is fucking wonderful.

Working in games means your answer to the question "If you could do anything you wanted in life, what would it be?" isn't a different career, but the same career in a kinder version of the same industry.

Said the phrase 'I'm over the moon!' to a Polish man and he was a little confused and asked what I meant so I explained and when I finished he just shook his head and said 'You're happy but you have no business in space.'

Take a break. Go outside. Pet a cat. Do something "frivolous". Spend time looking at pretty things that an artist made. Fondle some smooth and shiny rocks. Eat a really good meal. Engage all your senses and remember that there are good things in the world.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Today is the day to tell a strange story.
The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.
Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.
