The most magical feeling I know is the feeling of making. We live in a magical time. There are new tools to create instant songs and images and games and tools to create tools. I love making things with these tools, being generative, bringing group chat jokes to life. Collaboration is now possible when you’re all alone. But I also love being generative in more old school ways like using the techniques found in this incredible collection, The Surrealist Book of Games.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background — come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isn’t exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and it’s even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

Sometimes remembering hurts. Sometimes remembering helps. I recommend it anyway. Remember 2009? Remember narwhals, narwhals, swimmin' in the ocean? Remember Snape, Snape, Severus Snape. Snape, Snape, Severus Snape? Remember playing Nintendogs under your sheets on your DS on a rainy night in 2007 or playing Minecraft on a cool Autumn night while your parents fought downstairs in 2012? We can never go back, but we can try through simulation and emulation. Remember making images with Microsoft paint and word art and Kid Pix, you can use them again now! Try beating The Impossible Quiz , taking care of Nintendogs, creating a penguin, building a city, playing my personal favorite GameBoy Advance Game, or finding your own childhood games memories to play again using Internet Archive and other emulation services, tools and resources.

There are so many incredible online archives of everything, so much to discover and so many rabbit holes to fall into. Check out The American Diary Project, The Malware Museum, The Buttolph Collection of Menus, Hoaxes of History, The Ted Nelson Archive, The Whole Earth Index, Jocari, The Geocities Gallery just to name a few very specific ones.
