Post: RE: Fractalism Logo

I love the concept! But I agree with tasp that it could look a lot neater, particularly the left-hand logo. I like the idea of having more recursion inside - after all, Recursion Is Recursive.

Ah, one thing that does need updating on the EG is to credit the several contributors to the expanded version. Could you add that please?

There's some sound advice here. Daily life for most of us can be tiring, boring, or depressing, especially compared to visions of a hyper-advanced post-scarcity future. But there are also many joy...

Post: Averill - an article about treasure hunters

The kernel of this article has been in my head for a while. It's a story about treasure hunters fighting over treasure, some of which was left by previous treasure hunters. Is it interesting? Is it c...
