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.

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters. And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

I like having a historical record of the shows I've been to, and I'm sad that many places don't do physical tickets anymore. How do we fix this? Does anyone know a guy?

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.

Sometimes words are not enough so I recommend using unicode characters and combinations to communicate instead. Here are some of my favorite Unicode characters: 𓅸ꙮރ ྀི𓋤𐌕𓍯𓃹𓋜𓏲𖧻𓋫𖡎 ౨ৎ𓄯◌݉ ྀི 𓆫𑜸𓃛𓎛🀙𖭝𓆒୨୧ ꙰ 𛱠𓋇⟣𖡍𓍊ዣ𝑳𓆞𒆙𓆰𑜷ೀ𓆇◌្𓄧ᭆ𖤈𓇻𓄦 🀥⚭𓄒𖠖 ᭓𓆝ꮺ𖡫᭄𐩕🀦𑗗𓇼ִ ࣪𖤖 𖠘 𖠶𓁙.ೃ࿔𖡊🃝 𓆑𖡗𓆨𖤍 𖡹𖢅𖢄𖥓𖤒𖦄 𖥚𖤜𖣂𖤒𖦹𓇗 ༘⋆ᰔᩚೂ ༊𖭜ℓ🝮ൽ𒓡𖣂𑱡𒑆𓍼 ༘𑜸ꣃ𓃗꙳, click here or here if you want to search and find out what they mean or find your own favorites.
