“No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.” ― Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

T is for Tuesday? No, T is for Tank, from Atari’s Combat

Last week I announced my book, 8-Bit ABCs. It is exactly what you think it is. The digital version is free (on Apple iTunes, Kindle, ePub or PDF) but if you love the project, you can pre-order a physical copy of the book. Only 10 more days before the pre-order is over.

Happy Thanksgiving. A short work week is a good thing after a long, hectic year. I hope you all embrace the time off. I will try.

Time for the links, that’s why we are here
