As you've probably noticed by now, if you play the Castles game, I've added a feature that allows you to change the name of your castle. This was a request from one of the players. Unfortunately, while I was programming it, I accidentally reset the names of all the castles in the game.

On the plus side, if you've become bored with the name of your castle, this is an excellent opportunity to change it (:

As I returned the game boy games I rented from Blockbuster, I thought to myself: What a great way to send messages covertly to other people in plain sight. Just agree beforehand on a particular game and on a way to interpret the state of the game when it is returned. So if you borrowed WarioLand 3, for example, and returned it saved at the Lake Of Tears (or whatever) with the first two treasure chests open, but only showing the keys for the first and third, AND your game score was between 12000 and 14000, then that would mean that Secret Agent Henry is going to pick up the "package" next Tuesday night at 12:06 a.m.

There are many jobs for which the ability to lie convincingly is a desired trait. I wonder how interviews for this job would go:
"Are you good at lying?"
"No, I'm terrible. In fact, I've never told a lie in my life. I'm always getting in trouble for telling the truth at cocktail parties."

For that matter, what if sarcasm was a trait you were seeking in a job canidate.

"Can you be sarcastic at will?"
"Sarcastic? Me?"
