poem | searching to be
http://rant.searchingtobe.com/tag/poem
Passing Shadows – a poem. I was bored and feeling a little pensive, so I wrote a poem. Do we ever truly belong anywhere. Or, rather, is our life meant to be transient. Filled only with passing shadows,. Some who linger longer. While most fade into distant memories? In the moment when we stop moving,. When we settle down as they say,. Is that the moment we begin to truly live,. Or is that the moment when we begin to die? Is it a place, some large, imposing space? Or is it something you can carry with you.

Coding and other computer-related thoughts. Customer feedback and early access. The point of the exercise was that before you put a lot of effort into making a piece of software you should figure out if people will buy it, and what they’ll be willing to buy it for. As Steve Blank said “No business plan survives first contact with the customer.” So, better to have that contact before you invest time and money into that business plan.

streaming schedule | searching to be
http://rant.searchingtobe.com/2014/01/18/streaming-schedule
So, last semester I dabbled with streaming a bit with my friend Luke, aka BlueWales73. We had a ton of fun doing it, and while we didn’t really have more than one or two viewers in our few test streams, we felt like it’s something we want to keep doing. While we’re not doing it trying to get a ton of viewers or anything we still think that it’s good to set an actual streaming schedule so that at least we are consistent. Who knows, maybe people will watch in the future. Or if you follow me on twitter.

http://rant.searchingtobe.com/category/musings/ethics-society
Category Archives: ethics and society. Stuff about society and ethics and stuff like that. Toxicity, anonymity, and the word ‘noob’. For some context take a look at this article on Polygon. Which talks about online harassment and cyber-bullying targeted at game developers. A very good read, and it got me thinking about this topic. Honestly, what purpose does this serve? Why do we feel a need to be so toxic when we are playing games? I personally think that if everyone on YouTube were to use their real na...

Guardians of the Galaxy. Guardians of the Galaxy was easily the most fun I have had at the movies this year. You should go see it. I mean,. Stop whatever you are doing and go see this movie. By the way, the fuzzy stuff is for spoilers, don’t click on it unless you want to have stuff spoiled (or have seen it already). While it took most of my social circle quite a while before they got excited about Guardians of the Galaxy. Origin stories – aka bringing the team together. Like in The Avengers. Film, the o...
