Today's revelation: you can set a column width manually in Excel. After all these years of using the mouse to try to get those perfect 10 px columns. How did i never see this?

GPS sends driver down bizarre route after longass flight. You get upset about why we're going this way and fixate on Maps and the route you should be taking. But tometimes it's best to just shut up, put the phone down and look out the window.

My talk from June at Narrascope 2023 in Pittsburgh is on YouTube if you want to watch me hold forth about narrative in sim games.

Maybe unpopular opinion, but can we please just restore SOM's design from 1970 rather than this blob of crap? It looks like a turnpike gas station for christ sake. Let's keep at least one of the Kimball Subway stations as they were designed lest we get another sun visor like at Belmont.

But see... here's the thing. If I do that, I will have to watch this White Sox. And they're very not good. And I will be sad. And I will drink too much beer. Then I will start yelling at the team. And I will sit close. No one wants this.

Every time I think that everything that I loved about SF is gone, there's a reminder that more can be taken. We had meetings both business and social here. Walking into South Park was just lovely and felt so very SoMa. Glad I grabbed an espresso there last GDC. :(
