Jason Scott's Weblog
Peter Zelchenko shows up to deliver a single line in the totality of the 5.5 hours of BBS Documentary. He didn’t even want to be on camera, actually, but I had him sit down to ask me something and I started peppering him with questions and the next thing he knew, we had a little […]
Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2007 00:40:07 +1100 From: David Dean To: Jason Scott Subject: article request Do you get many (any?) of these? Anyway, I figure as an obsessive hoarder, you’ve got some great system for storing your old files – notes about projects ideas, half completed code-bits, word files that you might just want […]
Being someone who finished a film, I get a lot of nice e-mails and discussions going with people who are working hard on films and want advice from me. Naturally I do my best to give them whatever I’ve learned along the way on both the previous and current productions, so that I can help […]
It is very important, nay, critical for a weblog writer to not just consider an idea but to coin a nonsense word which makes it sound like they originated the idea, when in fact nobody else might have thought it worthy of calling it a special term. It’s the weekend, so it’s my turn. The […]
Besides being an idea guy, I’m also an impulsive idea guy. Hence, I can now announce: http://www.wozipedia.org This is basically a wiki with a bunch of initial work by me and a few others, with some room for expansion and some rough ideas sketched out.

I’m an idea guy; I like coming up with ideas. Some of them come to fruition and some are in a sort of holding pattern. Maybe I’ll pick them up again, and maybe not. There’s one I’ve been kicking around for well over a couple years. It’s had a number of names, and “Wozipedia” is […]
I made the relatively hard decision not to have Vista in my home. This is tough for me, because I’ve been using Windows computers as my front-end to my stuff for over 10 years, and I have done an awful lot of work on that operating system family. Walking away has the potential to be […]
For reasons that become less clear with each passing day, I have a feed coming from Wired News. I think part of it is a nostalgia regarding how Wired used to be when I first stumbled upon it when I was 24, and the other part is that over time I’ve appeared in it. And […]
I had a very successful weekend in Colorado. I got to interview two interactive fiction authors for GET LAMP, and even got in an interview with an arcade owner for the arcade documentary. As previously stated, if I can fit in something for ARCADE, I do it, but never at the cost of a text […]
Like a lot of people on the web since 1993, I have a semi-static defunct webpage about myself located on my cow.net website. (I think the fact I own the domain COW.NET also indicates how long I’ve been around.) On the COW.NET page about myself, I welcome people who are browsing, and invite them to […]
