Traveling alone to Malmö, Sweden was one of my favorite adventures of last year.
 | Sweden invest much money in culture and quality of living. I visited at the time of Malmö Festivalen - a festival free for everyone, including all the concerts of big Swedish and international artists. Yet they also have some major issues. As in many European countries right now, groups of people are not open to cultural change. While most of the public appeared very open and socially advanced, there are radical groups which use the large number of immigrants as concept of an enemy. I originally traveled to Malmö to participate in the Otherplace Festival, a small festival hosting innovative games and other forms of play, financed by the state of Sweden. In this image you can see me taking part in a roleplay, where we used headphones to block out every noise around us. We wandered trough the city, having just two handsigns to communicate. One to claim leadership and one to give it away. |
As the rain stopped and we moved away from the roof a magic moment happened.
Just in the moment the ambient sound in our ears stopped playing, we saw a wonderful double rainbow all across the sky.

"Before you were born there lived an intelligent musician. One day the musician was abducted by a barbarian. She tricked the barbarian. Then the musician fled in terror."
Here it is, just something I wanted to write out. Works nicely as a first Write Streak submission.
Here we are. A piece I wrote in an attempt to explain my behavior to people, I guess? To explain my life, to a degree. It might have really needed a wider scope for that, but I took a more specific angle on the problems I've been trying to overcome. A piece I can give to people who ask what I want to do with my life so I don't have to explain may have to wait. Forever. =p
EDIT: I have worked on this further since the original posting.
My first submission to Write Weekly. Since I have some catching up to do, I'm going to try and do 3 by the end of this week.
Anyway here is the writeup on Medium:

View and *play* my top 3 game jam games out of 17 entries!
My first submission here on streak.club.
Thanks to keep me hitting the deadline and maintain my habit.
I wrote a piece about Winter in my notebook. I'll have to type it up tomorrow.
EDIT: Remember how I said I'd type this today? I didn't. Deal with it.
Almost didn't make it. Where did my other two posts to catch up go. -_-
It feels so good to be writing while the sun is still out, basking the pigeons waddling around the sparking sidewalks of San Francisco.
I'm almost a week into stay-cation, attempting to reflect and recharge. I hesitate to say 'relax', because I feel that implies I'm not doing anything. Rather, I like to think I am focusing my energy into creative and physical activities, giving the left half of my brain a break.
Here's how I've spent my days so far:
Day 1 @ Mt. Davidson
Here is another one for my love, Textadept.

I wrote something just now, but it's too personal, so it certainly isn't going to end up on the internet. That thing I wrote last week should end up on the internet if I ever have the discipline to sit down, type it and work on it some how.
It's an April Fool's Day issue in progress. http://bumpus.withdraft.com/pages/610523
I'm basically doing a series on these now...

Essay for class i uploaded online :P
Well, I got to finish this week quite quickly. I was so in rage the other day, I ended up writing this up to clear my head. Was not planning to publish it, but I felt I needed to speak out regardless.
I wrote more stuff for my Journalism class. Probably of no interest to anyone here.
Blogging it out writing about what I got after finishing the freelance job, and doing retrospection with the team.
Back to speaking on the text editor. At this point, you guys must hate me now...
A little piece that came out of nowhere...
