Stuff and Things and Monkey Island

May 31, 2009

I’m pretty good at keeping secrets. I’m so good at it people actually send me death threats. If you have a secret, you can tell me. I won’t tell anyone. Go ahead. I’m listening.

Over the past few months, I’ve been the vessel for a couple of very exciting secrets and it’s been really hard to not give someone the nudge-nudge-wink-wink-don’t-tell-anyone, but I couldn’t. Not these.

The first is the re-release of The Secret of Monkey Island. Several months ago I was invited to LucasArts to get a sneak preview. Very cool.

Studs Terkel Passes Away

Oct 31, 2008

I have to admit I only tangentially knew who Studs Terkel was, but the first time I ever heard of him I remember thinking: “Damn, I wish my parents had named me Studs Terkel”.

What a great name.
