Curly's World

And comparisons with Blade Runner are outrageous. Well, both movies are based on Philip K. Dick's works... I think it's more apt to compare Minority Report with Brazil, because it's essentially a Hollywood version of it. Also, you get a nice twist to Minority Report if you consider it ended the sam...

This is a math teacher, so we assume the distance is calculated from the center of these equally thick, perfectly round trees.

He can want whatever he wants but I'm going to put them where-ever I want.

In a pyramid formation.

Its the only Lenovo Horizon 27" table PC/Tablet in the country and I got permission to loan it for a few days, and use it at work (and at home with Anna and Tanja). GREAT FUN! Have to say bye-bye to it today with a massive computer/minecraft/Horizon day at work where all the kids (and I) have ...

I'm currently playing turn-based games! Usually hearing the words "web-based, Flash, with microtransactions" in the same sentence should be a warning sign, but I have been very happy with Card Hunter . It's a turn-based tactics game, which borrows its aesthetics from Dungeons & Dragons...

It looks like football field? (For our American readers, that's football, not handegg).

I remember reading somewhere that bicycle was kind of a big deal, because otherwise there would have been too much interbreeding going on. According to Stephen Stearns, a Yale professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, before the invention of the bicycle, the average distance between the birthpl...

I believe that I can one-up bread with... yes, sliced bread. There's even a saying about it!

Really looking forward to that... Then you'll be really disappointed in the latest weekly Humble Bundle! Celebrating the favorite games of a popular YouTube personality. Most of the games are no strangers to Humble Bundle: Botanicula, Thomas Was Alone, Amnesia, Showdown Effect and McPixel. In other...

I miss the good old times when everything on Humble Bundle site was DRM-free... :( Well, then, you're going to love the new Humble Origin Bundle! For the cheap price of a dollar you get some pretty cool games from EA, including my personal favorite Mirror's Edge. What's cool, I think, is that all E...

It's time for another Assembly. This time even I'm participating (not to the competitions, though).

Here's the list of the game competition entries for Assembly Summer'13. One notable entry, that got a lot of applause was the Assembly Simulator, KAAL by Pizzalaatikko. It's like you're there.

Why watch the Wire, when you can read Railywaymodeler's posts.

Stardock, known for its Galactic Civilizations strategy games, has bought the rights to Star Control from Atari. They are planning to reboot the series . I think what most Star Control fans are looking for is a new Star Control game where the inspiration comes from Star Control 2. They want a game w...

A new Humble Bundle, this time around similar to the THQ Bundle a while back but this time around with Deep Silver games. So, if you're missing any of the Saints Row games, they can be had for any price you want. If you're into Dead Island or its kinda-sequel, then you need to pay at least certain a...

An e-mail to Apple a day,
keeps the copycats away.

I get the feeling that you're talking about a really narrow interpretation of language, stripped out of all context. Yes, this "really narrow interpretation" comes from the guy who recently recommended you a book where conclusion is that "every interaction equals to information excha...

As Wittgenstein said, "the limits of my language means the limits of my world."

We can leave it there. I changed the spammy link to Google, because if someone searches for cell phone jammers and because of his spam text might end up here, isn't it more frustrating for the spammer that his link goes elsewhere than he intended? Anyway, I fail to see how getting a cell phone jamme...

There's a good book on this subject, Gödel, Escher and Bach, which tries to through mathematics and AI research explain how from DNA there suddenly becomes a consciousness. Not in those terms, but the book is a bit hard to explain. Making parallels with software/hardware and consciousness/brain is e...

So... you don't mind parting from the cards? =) You're right. They are quite silly, especially when Valve + the game's publisher take cool 15% of each transaction of those cards on the marketplace, which probably tells everything you need to know about the purpose of those cards. The crazy thing is,...
