I noticed tonight while ego-surfing (via Technorati) that my Gameshelf post from a couple months ago about Space Giraffe, which was my personal return to that blog, and which I figured would get some good foo via its novel theme (colliding a controversial piece of contemporary literary theory with video game design), got linked from Kotaku and amassed a bunch of comments there - many more than the original post earned.

I really have to get around to intsalling Webalizer or some other referrer-log-checker, one of these days. No, sooner than that; it's an indispensable tool for any ego-driven blogger (ha ha redundancy yes), dammit.

Small world-- that post links to an earlier post about Jon Blow's comparison of Space Giraffe to Ulysses. Which elicited this comment: "I think I have a new goal in life, to find and beat the crap out of Jonathan Blow!" I wonder how that's working out for the commenter.

I ran into pointers towards the Ulysses comparison when I was first researching Space Giraffe, but didn't follow them, and so didn't know that Jon wrote it. How about that.

And I also didn't know he was the fellow I met two years ago at your Liberty Ave apt, but I am right now having an IM conversation with you about this so I will just stop here.
