| Friday Oct 31, 2003 | Coffee robots and
booze robots
are catering to our addictions.
Are robots really going to
take over the world?
Maybe not. to Robotics by tinfoil |
| Sunday Apr 27, 2003 | How many of you are reading this entry? I don't
mean how many people like you -- I mean
how many of you?
Talk it over with
people like you, and learn
What It All Means from a practical
standpoint. to Science by tinfoil |
| Are you
innumerate? The latest
polls show you share your plight with
7/5 of the U.S. population.
But you can cure your innumeracy by visiting the
site of the author
who coined the term and has written
countless articles on the phenomenon.
For the low, low price of
one quintillion pennies, you can learn to
visualise numbers large and small,
and one day realise there are some
perfectly good reasons to
play with your math. to Mathematics by tinfoil |
| Thursday Apr 17, 2003 | Perhaps you'd like
a 160,000 page library on developing your impoverished country, for only $2. You could learn much from
a "memeware" attempt to synopsise all human knowledge. If your audience is illiterate, you might try
cheap video CDs to spread the information wealth. Fortunately, there is technology to do so that is
inexpensive, secure, reliable, and widely available. Yep, people
sure are
smart. No doubt about it:
Today is a better day. to Technology by tinfoil |
| Thursday Mar 27, 2003 | Even if you think the Star Wars universe
is full of reactionary and
racist
nonsense, you still might enjoy learning the rules of
Holochess,
or playing the card game Sabacc
online
or with a
homemade deck.

| Thursday Feb 21, 2002 | Ever hear of the game Chess? Reviewer Greg Kasavin
hates the first edition but loves the second,
realtime strategy version. Reviews elsewhere
have been mixed. The whole controversy reminds
me how much I agree with game designer
Bob Abbott's
assertion that
video games suck.

| Monday Jan 21, 2002 | The archetype for all Discordian games, besides
Discordianism itself, is of course
SINK. But there are now many others.
The Electronomicon lists some.
There's also a
Discordian deck of cards and a
Discordian Coloring Book.
But the best collection of Discordian games is at
Castle Chaos. to Games by tinfoil |

Abstract strategy games are
games such as Chess,
with no hidden information and no chance elements.
Sponsoring an
annual game design contest and making
many sample articles
available online,
Abstract Games magazine
is the straight dope, but better for your brain.

| Thursday Nov 1, 2001 | I first encountered the
Urantia Book in a public library in
British Columbia when I was on vacation.
I had a lot of
questions. Fortunately, at the age of 17,
I was a
skeptical kid. I finally concluded that
Urantia believers were mostly
elderly and full of hot air.

| The piecepack is public domain game system that
is to board games what an ordinary deck of cards
is to card games. You can
buy wooden piecepacks or
print your own. If you get really interested,

books by such cult SF writers as

James Branch Cabell,
Avram Davidson, and
R.A. Lafferty.
