The Drabblecast Forums

Travel can open new vistas of experience. Visiting small regional farms, I learned the meaning of the word "longpork."

How about just feeding a few of them to the old gods.

I try to leverage the reader's knowledge to make simple stories more complex. In "Cosmic Horror" knowledge about Buddhism makes the story work. It's like linking a library to a computer program. For example, printf("%s\n","Hello World") requires the stdio header file and library. Without the necessa...

Good one. It would be nice if there were more discussions in this forum. Hopefully people will come back.

Congrats on your first Drabble.

In the discussion about Charlie the Purple Giraffe, the composer Carl Stalling is mentioned. I suspect that many people have never heard of him. To most people his name is obscure but his work is anything but. As it turns out I recently watched a YouTube video that discusses Stalling. Here's a link ...

No, this is not inspired by Charlie the Purple Giraffe Was Acting Strangely. I'm listening to the Relaunch Prelaunch now and yeah, in a sense there's a lot of overlap.

A man who displayed true dedication to his craft...

Will it be up soon?

Progress on the new URL?

The Buddha said, "You've come to ask me the secrets of life and the universe. How do I know? You've come many times before. Our world dies and is reborn as regularly as the moon follows the sun. I alone remember. Existence is a cosmic horror. We live to fight. We die only to be reborn, forever trapp...

Words have meanings and meanings are important. It's not good enough to just tell robot slaves "Create a better world."

In Moscow university I study Tolstoy. No good they say. Must master twit-fic for job to write American political memes.

A followup from an article I'm reading: " Memes are all attempting to self-replicate by exploiting inconsistencies or weaknesses in our cultural code. They are not attacking one another; they are attacking us humans. " http://www.iftf.org/fileadmin/user_upload/images/DigIntel/SR-2002_IFTF_Biology_of...

It would be so much better if this web forum software had a "thumbs up" button.

But thumbs up.

Great vid!

Living in the country isn't like the city. Humanity invented cities. In nature things are shaped by other forces. When we bought our Texas ranch, rather than trying to reinvent things we tried to coexist with what was already there. The ranch has a lake and we think that there's things in the lake. ...

Years ago I wrote in the drabblcast forums "It's just so difficult constantly trying to come up with new and innovative ways to destroy the world, or better yet, all of existance." It was true then and it's true now. Destroying the world is a hobby of mine. The challenge is to do so creatively. Ther...

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's burnout. Norm and the DC crew put a tremendous amount of effort in and I'm sure it was a constant struggle to stay above water.

But the fact that there's been no official shutdown is a good thing. It leaves open the possibility of future stories.
