Few Moments to Relax
Work has been crazy-but-productive for me the last few weeks. I'm doing a presentation on some of the stuff I've been working on for my coworkers on Monday, hope it won't be too boring.
Pi-Con last weekend was fun, with not nearly as many hurricanes as last year. Skipped most of the panels, spent a lot of time on games: More Innovation, a round of Fiasco (a quick collaborative storytelling game that produces convoluted movie-like plots), Red November (a crazy collaborative players-versus-environment boardgame featuring gnomish submariners), and a one-off tabletop RPG the Fallout universe (played with the Savage Worlds system). Due to organizational difficulties, there was no video-gaming at Pi-Con this year. And the whole con is on hiatus next year, returning in 2014.
Today, I went to see Red Bull's cliff-diving event (in which athletes jumped off of the ICA into Boston Harbor). Was pretty awesome!
Tomorrow, there's an Olin alumni meetup on the Cambridge Common. Should be fun.
