Random Wisdom
“There are some fine books and essays about that. Lewis Hyde has written about alcoholism and poets and the role that society gives its writers—encouraging them to die.”

Doomasayur

Doomasayur n. An old fossil from a hypothetical “Better Age.” Generally petrified of the future. Often with a heart of stone. No fun at parties.

Review – World of Goo
By Lester | May 21, 2013
The Good: The puzzles are challenging but fun. The graphics and story are professionally tongue-in-cheek. The physics feel right. There are lots of levels, divided into distinctly different parts of the goo world. Some parts of the world honestly made me chuckle.
Oh, and there’s a free trial version, if you don’t want to commit to a purchase up front.
The Bad: I honestly can’t think of a criticism.
The Ugly Summation: Highly recommended. 10 goo balls out of 10.

Great Works of Literature as Limericks: Frankenstein
By Lester | May 13, 2013
Obsessed with successes he’d had,
Frankenstein went nearly mad—
created a creature,
then hated its features,
and so became a deadbeat dad.

And the related Kickstarter project.
