Here are some of my coding projects:
You can find more projects of mine on BOLT80, my coding portfolio.
To get in touch, toots or emails are best (depending on the length of message). Here is a more exhaustive list:
I post articles infrequently on The Stochastic Game, my personal blog. Here are the most recent entries:
In the past couple years I’ve been thinking about an aspect of 21st century technology that I’m not sure has a name. I thought about it again when I read this recent post by Cory Doctorow on “The ordinariness of evil”. Cory talks about gen-AI CEOs touting the impending danger of their products as a […]
In the last article of the “Reading Classic RuneQuest” series, I looked at the Introduction chapter of the RuneQuest 2nd edition rulebook and noted that I would have things to say about the map of Glorantha we see here… as many of you know, I love maps, and this is one of the three classic […]
I’m coming back to my “Reading Classic RuneQuest” series after a hiatus caused by, you know, having to deal with my twelve other hobby projects 😄 Last time I read through the “Basic Role-Playing” booklet and now I’m finally getting into the actual RuneQuest book proper! Yay! But don’t get too excited, we’ll only do […]
I recently wrote an article about how the “RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha” product line is getting bogged down with too much lore and not enough playable content. A comment I saw a few times in response to it is that Chaosium “has to” release more lore supplements to establish a “baseline” for Glorantha. Let’s address […]
I got into TTRPGs around the turn of the 1990s and, after my first few games, fell into a long tunnel of Call of Cthulhu gaming. I pretty much exclusively GM’ed Call of Cthulhu from the mid-90s to the late 2000s, including a lot of Delta Green, which back then was a Call of Cthulhu […]
I’m back to reading the classic RuneQuest 2nd edition boxed set! See the first and second articles in the series if you missed them. Today we are reading the “Basic Role-Playing” booklet, written by Greg Stafford and Lynn Willis, with a couple illustrations by William Church. This “introductory guide” to fantasy role-playing (FRP) and the […]
If there’s a sure way to get my attention, it’s including some good looking maps in a game. But a sure way to get an instant buy is to include a big-ass cloth map in a game. That’s what Dragonbane did with their original crowdfunding campaign, and so of course I backed it at the […]

Here's my microblogging feed, published on my blog, and syndicated to Mastodon and Bluesky:
CBC’s live update page on the US tariff situation mentions that Carney says he will do “whatever it takes” to support business. I wonder if that includes a wealth tax 😅
Carney finally acknowledged how unreliable the US has become and walked away from trade talks. I’m sure he fully expected it would end like this, and was just doing his due diligence before while buying time to setup trade with other countries. That’s the part he’s supposedly good at.
Haha so some people are leaving Bluesky and returning to Twitter because they can’t take the AI-shaming? Wait until they hear about the nazi-shaming!
“Ordinary Abundance: Edward Bellamy once imagined that music on demand would be “the limit of human felicity.” A modern apartment is full of things that once drew the same kind of awe.”
A very nicely done website.
