I’m a slow reader. It’s not a bad thing, but where some people I know can read a novel in a couple days, I will use up my lunchtime reading a ten-page short story. It can take some motivation to decide to read a novel – hence my preference for the short story. A 300-page [...]

Aside from the whole “family-starting” thing, Mrs.Bod and myself are in the process of selling our current house (where numerous demoparties have been held) and buying a new place. Of course we want to optimize our available space when we move, so [...]
I’m always interested to see what people are working on, and I think it can add to some excitement and expectation – sometimes unfounded, but often it gives a good idea of what’s to come. For example playing beta versions of games – sure they may be a little rough around the edges, but they [...]
