SO! Hey! GDC<\/a> and Clockwork Alchemy<\/a> are over and I’m not dead! (A joke which actually I don’t find that funny given the circumstances, which I’ll dig into in just a moment). Strangely enough, hitting two back-to-back conferences, both of which you participate super heavily in, can take something out of your blog. Who knew?<\/p>\n But I need to get better at blogging, so I thought I’d try something new: a “check-in” in which I try to hit all the same points each time – what am I currently writing, editing, programming, etc? For example, I am currently:<\/strong><\/p>\n Whew, that’s a lot, and I don’t even think I got them all. Maybe I won’t try to write all of the same “currents” every time, but it was a useful exercise in “find something to blog about without immediately turning it into a huge project.”<\/p>\n But the biggest “current” in my mind is the person I am currently worried about<\/strong>, my good friend and great Game AI developer Dave Mark<\/strong>. Dave is the founder of the GDC AI Summit<\/a> … but was struck by a car leaving the last sessions at GDC<\/a>, and still is in the hospital, seriously injured.<\/p>\n More in a moment.<\/p>\n -the Centaur<\/p>\n Pictured: Butterysmooooth sashimi at Izakaya Ginji<\/a> in San Mateo from a few days ago, along with my “Currently Reading” book Theoretical Neuroscience<\/a> open to the Linear Algebra appendix, when I was “Currently Researching” some technical details of the vector notation of quadratic forms<\/a> by going through stacks and stacks of books, a question which would have been answered more easily if I had started by looking at the entry for quadratic forms in Wolfram’s MathWorld<\/a>, had I only known at the start of my search that that was the name for math terms like x<\/strong>\u1d40Wx<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SO!
