Wow is 17 years since I resigned from IBM 🙂 I certainly stuck with metaverse 🙂 https://www.eightbar.com/2009/02/23/a-new-era-begins Now retired but still engaged and helping where I can across tge industry

I was practicing drawing, whilst also contemplating Tai Chi moves and then decided to drop the scratchy sketches into Midjourney to see what it thought of them. I got some nice single images but also this interesting video, where each character synchronised (I didn’t ask it to 🙂 )

@gamesatwork_biz@mastodon.social We recorded this interview podcast before I retired but full on industrial metaverse conversation :) https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/data-and-dimensions/id1856572783?i=1000748001266

Learning to draw (again) with 21draw.com :) https://www.feedingedge.co.uk/blog/2026/02/03/learning-to-draw/

Venezuela right near epstein island, Denmark sold island chain that has Epstein island to US in 1917. Trump is implicated in Epstein files and very nasty stuff, not yet released. Trump hits venezuala and Greenland (Denmark) in “completely unrelated” world agitating moves?

For years Jan has mentioned how untidy my clothes shelves were (though I understood the system 🙂 ) I said would not sort it out until I retired. So blam …. Many hours later done! and many bags to recycle or take to charity shops 🙂

Today marks the first day of my official retirement!!!
I've completed the main mission of the RPG called work, maxed my levels and dealt with quite a few side missions that came my way.
Thank you everyone who has made this part of the journey of life such a blast!

Awesome album just arrived. Brian Setzer Orchestra vol 2. A live Tokyo concert with Setzer’s wonderful rockabilly guitar and crooning voice with some classic band tunes and lots of stray cats too. Including my all time favourite song Stray Cat Strut. It works as the original 3 piece or as a full jazz/blues orchestra.

It seems Gregg Davies is wearing Ray Ban Metas on #nevermindthebuzzcocks 🙂

Jewel - Pieces of you 30th anniversary edition ! Such a fantastic singer. We saw her in Southampton 30 years ago. Vinyl just released and arrived (now playing)

My copy of the last book has arrived. Wonderful piece of literature and art. Post card top left describes it 🙂

Went to see Troilus and Cressida at the open air globe theatre london today. Getting quite into Shakespeare now :)

Sunday morning vinyl record listening. The genius of blues master Robert Johnson

Well prof Richard A. Bartle reworking of Designing Vrtual Worlds (volume 1 second edition) has arrived 🙂 obviously I have not read it all yet it’s clearly got everything in it and loaded with a personal touch in writing style that’s chuckle inducing. I.e Here have some optimism. Also one I have said and credited often since hearing him say it about serious games. If you take fun games and boring teaching combined expecting fun teaching you instead get boring games. 🙂

Tiny maker 3d printer has arrived ! Originally funded in Nov 22 :)

Fun experiment ! https://www.feedingedge.co.uk/blog/2025/08/23/generating-virtual-worlds-with-ai/

Watched #KpopDemomHunters last night on Netflix. It is a really entertaining and good film. The music is fantastic too. It is not taking itself too seriously, but equally doesn’t mock current culture either.

I posted about my 35th year of work :)
