Full disclosure: I used to run the site. This is, at this point, just my personal take; I handed it off to other folks in the community whose work I believe in entirely and I am gl…

I got to use the studio's supply, so I haven't had to really sort out glass buying myself. And yeah, I was lucky to benefit from access to a really great collection of glass. But t…

Totally feasible! You could probably put a whole one-person workspace into about fifty square feet without getting cramped, less with some squeezing and multitasking, and I'd guess…

Yeah, this isometric rendering has nice hints of Necker Cube illusions to it.

I was surprised and please how much I took to it, honestly; I went in cold and was prepared to not really get a knack for it. But easy-looking is also a product of writing it up af…

I'll agree that "a near impossibility" feels like a real big overstatement; curves are very doable and common in hand-cut glass. That's true even in my first piece, under discussio…

Also, if you like my mathy design instincts with this stained glass piece, you may enjoy looking through the painting work (mostly oils) I've done over the last couple years: http:…

It's a shockingly approachable medium! I was really surprised at how much it wasn't a series of frustrating technical or fiddly bits.

Well, hey, that's me! Howdy folks.

This is remarkable for the terse confidence with which it is misapprehends the actual structure and content of the site.

I'm still a member! For the record, we resist implementing threading or commenting by reference because it's makes for an unreadable discursive shitshow when trying to follow busy,…

Or to take it from another angle, Reddit couldn't be as large. Which is sort of at the heart of what Matt was talking about with scaling community -- it's not that large is bad or …

It's a mix of things; Deck, AdSense (for all the trouble they're still a major and these days fairly steady source of revenue), mostly-passive Amazon affiliate, and direct support …

The warning was quoted from the source, so your beef is with The Guardian. MetaFilter has no shortage of strong language and it's not against any kind of community guideline if it'…

> 2. The smart thing financially would have been to let the community die but, he didn't and paid the price So, I'm a skosh biased, as the person currently running MetaFilter, with…

Heh. Hello there! This is a thing I made.

Your wager is good, on both counts; the current corpus is based on the first 14 months of strips, which comes out to about 10K total words for Calvin (who has more lines than the r…

That's one of the fun little oddities Gary Larson talks about in "The Prehistory of the Far Side", where syndication captioning errors led to a couple of swaps of Far Side and Denn…

Heya, that's me! I also wrote up some details on the how and why of the whole thing, if you're interested: http://www.joshmillard.com/2015/07/06/calvin-and-markov/

In the interest of truly returning to the days of Nintendo Power hijinks, I have added a high score table that is powered by people sending me screenshots of their high scores.

Early days yet; I'm looking forward to folks getting all kinds of stuff either installed or written from scratch.

Though I did spend about fifteen minutes working on a pure command-line turn-based version called Roguey Bird a few months ago before realizing I didn't actually feel like spending…

Decided we needed an arcade page for all the sweet games: http://www.tilde.club/~cortex/games.html

No point in making an easy one, I reckon!

It's been a wonderful weird little thing so far, with folks having a mix of nostalgia for and first exposure to shell account stuff, playing around with oldschool webbery, hacking …
