Hey folks, So I thought I could handle recovering from this virus, doing physiotherapy, writing the first draft of my thesis, putting together some short stories, planning my flagship treasure hunt for the summer, taking online courses in cryptography and game theory, playing ice hockey, and keeping up with this…
Sooo… this is turning out to be a super-busy time of year for me. I am privileged to be working on something really cool, and also to be working on something a little more ordinary but really cool nevertheless. However, working on both those things and at the same time…
Move over, Shaun of the Dead! There’s another game in town. Its name is Pontypool, a 2008 film by Bruce McDonald. I originally rented it from iTunes because it was only 99 cents, and I vaguely recalled hearing some praise of it. I knew there were zombies involved; I put…

One of the annoying things about being sick for three weeks is you don’t really have time to write blog posts. One of the not annoying things about being sick for three weeks is you can catch up on some TV. One of the really annoying things about this weekend…
(Hmmm… hope this is coherent. I’ve been supposed to be in bed resting all week, according to the doctor. Although I’m regretfully missing social occasions and staying away from the gym, you can probably guess how well the “rest” part is going.) Getting annoyed at Star Trek for its implied…
I make no guarantees for these newfangled “thrillers” with all their twists and turns and serial killings.
