Incredible artistic style, engaging gameplay, and incredibly unique all around. What a win for independent game development. Check it out, if you haven’t already.

Sad back story. Haven’t seen much of it, but the photography book that accompanies the album seems to have some positive buzz.

Maybe that’s mid-life kicking in. Of course I’d have to explain myself to my wife. Perhaps the funds would be better spent on college education.

I’d buy one! More from Gizmodo at the link below.

For those of you that remember, a few months ago the boat was under the shed (photo below). Not in a "we’ve put the boat in the shed to protect it" sense, but in a "the shed blew up on the boat and destroyed it" sense. Destroyed is a little bit of an over-statement, but it means there is more work than cleaning the battery hookup.

Within CloudProfile, we use a subdomain structure for basic profiles. For instance you can see my profile is http://brooks.cloudprofile.com. But you can also use a primary domain like http://www.brooks-stone.com.

Therefore I’ve configured some Google Alerts using the link syntax as:

link:http://brooks.cloudprofile.com

and

link:www.brooks-stone.com

I have not used the "-site:" operator to eliminate links within a site, so if the subdomain is working the first alert should pick up on the link in this article. If it doesn’t, but the link to www.brooks-stone.com does get picked up, then I think the subdomain may be a problem.

I’ll report back on the results.
