Alright, I'm back from giving a talk at the Eyeo Festival 2015! Wait, did I mention that at all? That I was giving a 45-min-long talk last week? Well I gave a 45-min-long talk last week, and it was received wonderfully. My talk was about telling stories with systems, teaching systems with sto...

Remember Parable of the Polygons? Well, it turns out there's a whole bunch of peeps doing kind of the same thing: a mix of text and pictures and play, a mix of show and tell and do. There hasn't really been an effort to collect them all in one place... UNTIL NOW. I guess. Anyway, check out the site...

Hi everyone! Thank you all so much for being my Patreon supporters - I didn't expect anyone, let alone a couple dozen people to help support me. I made a silly video summing up my 2014, in both my professional work and personal life. Yes, I know it's late. Yes, I know that does not bode well for 20...

Really, really well. We've been absolutely blown away by all the positive feedback we've gotten. And also thank you so so much, Patreon supporters! I just threw together this thing on a whim, not expecting anyone to give anything, but here we are. So thank *you*, personally, truly. :) Wuv, ~Nicky
