shannon_aHad horrifyingly mundane dreams last night. I was reading GMail, and noticing that some relevant email messages were ending up in my "Unread" area instead of "Important" and thought, "I should mark those as important to retrain this AI."
This morning I keep looking at GMail, feeling like there are email messages I should retrain.
My Top 10 Censored RPG Books column for Designers & Dragons continues to do well. Not only has it been read 4,300+ times, but it's also the first article from my post-publication Designers & Dragons column which has done better than any of the articles from my pre-publication A Brief History of Game column.
(RPGnet has great search engine presence due to its longevity and the frequency of its updates, so any old articles always continue to get great hits over time. That an article 20 or so days old caught up with an article about a year and a half old is thus of some note.)
I wasn't trying to be purposefully provocative or anything when I wrote the censored article; it was just something that caught my attention immediately when I conceived of it, and so I wrote it. But now I'm having performance anxiety trying to figure out what else might be a great topic like that one.
