For those curious, here are some updates from the Wicked Grounds facebook page.

Their Patreon is at $10,000 currently, which is halfway to their goal of $20,000. This is up from $3,000 this time yesterday. We can do this.

I just submitted a talk to DeconstructConf, and if you haven't given a conference talk before, you should too! From their website:

* Goal one: get new people into conference speaking. First-timers only.
* Goal two: increase diversity (though anyone is allowed to submit).
* We cover all travel expenses and pay you $3,000.
* You commit to practice the talk several times.
* We'll mentor you in whatever way you need!

cant wait to build my own computer which consists of like ten microcontroller chips, each of which contains one application (file manager, text editor, lynx-style browser, IRC client, media player etc.)

multitasking is accomplished by turning a 10-way selector knob which controls which chip is outputting to the screen at that moment

where are the alternative branches of processor architecture waiting in the wings to leap upon this very bad (yet still overblown) vulnerability in the dominant strain?

they were market losers, and we have built markets that kill losers dead.

lacks of diversity evidence themselves /everywhere/ in our technology industry, and lacks of diversity cause systemic fragility.

I encourage you to start looking for ways to make your life more diverse in every aspect. Me too.

I wrote a thing: What happens after your game gets nominated for IGF awards http://squinky.me/2018/01/03/what-happens-after-your-game-gets-nominated-for-igf-awards/

You remember those days, don't you?

Rainy summer days, listlessly scrolling through your favorite forum on your Sanctuary?

Safe from the feelings of wrongness with your life, your body...

...Surely you haven't forgotten?
...
...We can all remember now...
