The Stochastic Game

Good morning Kamloops! Here’s the view from my room…

My final KamCon schedule isn’t too packed, which is good. I’m running DG and RQ, as is tradition, and playing a couple others. Somehow I’m also speaking at a panel, because they couldn’t find anybody more qualified than me to fill the last seat! Yay! 😅

I’m heading to KamCon tonight so I won’t be seeing this handsome fluffy guy for a whole long week-end!

“Why Time Sometimes Speeds Up in Northwest BC”: this is slightly weird and fun.

Huh, that’s quite interesting: the American Football huddle was invented by “deaf players [needing] to hide their visual communication from opponents even more than hearing teams.”

This Slashdot comment by Steve Wozniak about his outlook on life is exactly why he’s pretty much the only Apple personality I don’t despise.

Overheard in a parking lot: “It looks like something that would change into a Transformer”

I think this kid invented the Transformer-Transformer? The Meta-Transformer? The Transformer-Mimic?

Holy shit, Jackson Goldstone’s winning downhill mountain biking run is absolutely bonkers!

Hahaha, the reason I never realized that Alan Tudyk was “Sonny”, the lead robot from “I, Robot”, was that he was specifically excluded from all the promo campaigns…. because he was “testing higher than Will Smith” 😅

Good of Fede Alvarez to not direct the next Alien movie. The franchise was started on the premise of changing directors and styles, so it would be good to continue that tradition! That’s what makes the Alien franchise unique.
