Oooof

Spent more than three hours editing the prologue to Verena’s novel. It was good work; we made the text clearer, removed things which didn’t work, and added several things which do. It still needs a bit more work to fill it out, but we’ve taken it from a rough draft …

Froghead Is Real.

This is the Official Froghead Video. Those of you who have played The Strange and Somewhat Sinister Tale of the House at Desert Bridge already know the song, of course, but this deserves to be the most famous video on the internet, ever. Seriously. Lyrics: My name is Froghead and …

Change? Sorry, we’re all out.

It’s depressing to see so many people going wild over Obama. It’s nice, of course, to see that what people are expecting of him is all very progressive and left-wing (he was voted as the anti-war, anti-everything-Bush-stands-for candidate, after all, and mostly that’s left-wing sentiment, even if people don’t want …

Jumper

A very short review, as they tend to be. So, Jumper. It had a trailer that looked somewhere between interesting and silly. As it turns out, it’s more on the interesting side than on the silly. Actually, most of it is pretty good – there just isn’t enough of it. …

Museum Update, and a possible goodbye

Since someone asked – yes, I am still going to do that update for Museum that will get it to run on Vista. Soon. I haven’t had much time lately, and what little time I’ve had I’ve spent working on my film and my novel. And I must say that, …

Choices

A couple of weeks ago a review of Desert Bridge apepared at the an occasional player’s review blog. It’s mostly very positive, but there are a couple of criticisms that are addressed directly at me, so I thought I’d respond. A couple of things I’d like to bring to Jonas’s …

The Nines

Verena and I recently saw The Nines, a movie by John August. And here is what we thought: The plot was excellent, and so was the writing. I’m not going to tell you anything about it, though, because that would spoil half the fun. Well, I’ll say one thing, because …

The Greek Riots: Some Basic Facts

Hi all. I have just finished and released a video which tries to explain the origins and meaning of the riots in Greece. It’s far from perfect, but between a severe three-day headache, an unhappy cat and Pinnacle Studio bisbehaving, it’s the best I can currently do. And that’s OK …

They’re not children! They’re terrorists!

There’s a reason I generally stay away from message boards and comment threads. I recently began participating in one about the events in Israel, and it’s reminded me that this kind of thing is bad for my blood pressure. You can’t argue with a fanatic. To the fanatic, Israel has …
