The Knicks did actually win last night. I didn't dream it.

I remember when the Knicks sucked.

In my heart I believe they still do.

But here we are, my Knicks actually have an approximately 1 in 4 chance of winning the championship.

I hope it's Minnesota we end up playing.

All in the family. 😀

Scheduled to drop Monday, but you can click-through to pre-download it now. If you’re not familiar, Puzzmo is sort of a collection of “newspaper puzzle games for the online age”. (Which is also a good description for recent DF sponsor Lex.Games.) One of Puzzmo’s cofounders is Zach Gage, whose hits include Really Bad Chess and Knotwords, and who was my guest on The Talk Show back in 2022.

Anyway, if casual puzzle games are your jam, you should check out Puzzmo. My suggestion is check them out now, see how you like it as a web app on your iPhone, and then compare when the app hits the App Store on Monday. Puzzmo is a really good web app. I bet, though, the app is better.

This is what my WordLand blog looks like now. Quite a transformation! Sooo pretty. We're going to keep tweaking it up, so it's even more beautiful and more and more useful, but it's going to take some time. As the Supremes used to sing. I need love love love to ease my mind.

There’s an old adage in poker: If you look around the table and you can’t tell who the fish is, that means you’re the fish.

If you’re surprised at how this publicity stunt from Epic has turned out, especially if you’re a reporter and ran a piece accepting Tim Sweeney’s word that Fortnite was — not might be, but was — coming back to the US App Store as a fact, then you are Tim Sweeney’s fish.

One thing I've been waiting to hear about Trump's $400 million jet. We don't need the money.

So, what would *you* do if Steve Jobs was quoted in a viral blog post saying, “We think «*Your Name Here*»’s post is very insightful and not negative”? I decided to just sit there with a smug look on my face for a few days.

How feeds work in WordLand.
