A Little Web Zen

Friday, January 20, 2006

Yeah, okay, so I’m a little late this week. Still, I managed to find a fairly decent Friday Fun Link for you all. This comes from Boing Boing and is actually a list of links with a fun, but odd, theme: Animal Games. Basically, just a collection of games that you can play on the [...]

Interstitial Library

Friday, January 6, 2006

I do not know what this is. No, really, I’m not quite sure what this is supposed to be. A game? The start of a site? Do they expect us to submit books and reviews to it? If so, they don’t seem to provide an interface to submit “found” books. Perhaps it’s just a thought [...]

And, another game from the Elf Movie last year. Does it matter if they’re any good? NO! It’s just [...]

Fantasy Mapmaking

Wednesday, October 26, 2005

I know I’ve talked about this before, but not recently. I love maps. I love looking at them. I love drawing them. Maps can make an otherwise confusing travel story clear or just spark my imagination to new ideas about how geography effects the world. As a result, I’m always looking for more ideas about [...]

Alphabet Synthesis Machine

Friday, September 16, 2005

I can’t believe I’ve never written about this before! At least, I couldn’t find anything about it when I searched for “font”. Anyway, this is a super cool little toy, even though it’s Java based, that lets you create your very own random and unique TrueType font. It’s some kind of art experiement or something, [...]

How to Be a Villain

Friday, September 9, 2005

How to Be a Villain: Evil Laughs, Secret Lairs, Master Plans, and More!!! Yes, this is a real book. No, it is not serious. However, if you’re designing a villain, it’s not a bad place to start. No, seriously! Here in one book are the collected cliches of bad guys. Everything from talking when you [...]
