oh like Pokemon go but for temples? that is a pretty cool idea!

yes I already have that at https://www.whichtemple.in/map

holy moly, if you setup a kickstarter for this, a bajillion desis would support it. curious though, are they going to be frozen samosas?

Pretty cool. I really like your website! How does the sonification of space sounds work?

I loved Teixcalaan #1, and I really need to read the second one. Thanks for the reminder!

Oh, interesting. I have never written Pascal though.

I really miss VB and Flash. Wish we had something like that today.

I know! Are there no alternatives to Flash? I miss it so much.
