There's this facinating
video (about an hour long—there's also a 30
minute highlight) about Will Wright's new
simulation/game called “Spore.”
What is “Spore?” Well, watch the video(s), but short of that, imagine
a simulation where you start out as a single cell organism, evolve into
multicellular life, then intelligent life, go tribal, then get civilization,
go exploring locally, then globally, then into space and eventually go on to
create life on other planets, only there are other people doing the same
thing as you are, either on the same planet as your, or in a different star
system or even galaxy.
That's “Spore.”
It's a meta-simulation, if you will.
But I'm not doing it justice—watch the video(s)!
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
