Getting Infographical

Infographics are all the rage these days. In fact, it’s hard to find a subject that hasn’t gotten the infographic treatment. I have found one of these subjects, and it so happens to be one of my favorites: The Half-Life games. So I made this little infographic for ZOMG How, for which I should be writing on a weekly basis. Here’s a small preview, click on it to see the whole thing.

Rebirth: Part 72

I just keep doing this, don’t I? Announcing something, ignoring it, and then gloriously returning with a new plan and announcement…

No longer!

This is now (once again) Superluminal, my personal blog, where I talk about whatever the hell I wish.

I was afraid of treating this site just like a normal personal blog because I could never really come up with anything (interesting) to talk about. But having been quite active on Twitter for a while now, I’m realizing that 140 characters is quite often not nearly enough to say what I want to say properly. If there are people that want to know what somebody who makes more than one thousand euros per year thinks about the whole WordPress/GPL debate, then I should have a place where I discuss this, no?

I’m going to stop acting like a professional, and just post whatever the hell I like. Sometimes this will be self-promotional, sometimes it will be educational, and sometimes it will be lolcats.

Meow.

Ps.

Please look me up and slap me in the face if 6 months from now this is still the newest post on the blog.

I’m So Diverse

I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore, I have no focus. I don’t want focus. Right now I’m really at the point of throwing everything onto the window and seeing what sticks. I know I have principles, I know what I don’t want to do, but right now I’m:

  1. Running a flash arcade
  2. Running a tutorial site
  3. Running a funny links/pictures/etc. site
  4. Developing a few other sites that are just as diverse
  5. Trying to learn how to cleanly make WordPress themes, with the idea of perhaps making money with it
  6. Developing a flash game to promote the aforementioned arcade, and also bring some money in on its own.
  7. Trying to write fiction
  8. Right in the middle of being an English student at the University of Amsterdam

My problem is that I’m not an expert or professional at anything. I’m just starting out, and I’m still figuring out what I can and want to do. I know I don’t want to be employed. I know I’m smart enough to make it on my own and run a business that’ll at least feed me. But I’m so far.

I guess it’d be nice if I had some connections… Sure, I have people I engage with every now and then on Twitter and forums, but nobody I really know well or could collaborate with.

But enough whining, I’m getting back to work.
