Random Numbers
It’s been a long-ass time since I built something random for no apparent reason. So here goes – a random number generator, built in flash (however unpopular that may be).
Sampla: Video Game Music Quiz Game
Many moons ago I approached my collaborators at geekadelphia about doing a game. The concept was simple enough, and after months of fits and starts it is finally live to the world. Sampla: the video game music quiz. Try it out, post your score and tell your friends. This game is a variation of the original Sampla, which you should still play even though the high score board broke. –> more games of mine here at games.johnfreeborn.com
Good & Green: two web hits
| One website called this flash game the best game of 2007. Not just ‘web’ games, but better than Mario Galaxy, Halo 3, and others. I have to admit this game is amazing, addictive, and hard as hell. I’m still stuck on “normal”. It reminds me of Rampart, Tetris, Pipe Dream, and Missile Command all at once. Play Desktop Tower Defense here. |

Sampla V 1.0
 |
| Sampla is a backwards style name that tune game, where the game asks you to name the song that sampled a song (got that?). So, not only do you have to know your breaks, but you also have to know who used what and for which songs. Some are hard, some are easy. V1 features 35 tracks, 10 are selected at random each time you play. There is a scroreboard, so you can show and prove your skills. Graphic assistance by Josh Ruggeri. >play sampla now!!! |
Skatefall!
|
|
| This game has been in and out of the works for over two years. I am proud to say it is done. Skatefall!, inspired by David Crane’s Pitfall!, with 255 screens, many gold bars, silver bars and more to collect. This game also has a scoreboard, so you can see where you rank. Stop reading and play! >play skatefall now!!! |

The three types of specialists needed to make great change
From a passage of Kurt Vonnegut’s Bluebeard, the three types of specialists needed for the success of any revolution.
Slazinger claims to have learned from history that most people cannot open their minds to new ideas unless a mind-opening teams with a peculiar membership goes to work on them. Otherwise, life will go on exactly as before, no matter how painful, unrealistic, unjust, ludicrous, or downright dumb that life may be.
The team must consist of three sorts of specialists, he says. Otherwise the revolution, whether in politics or the arts or the sciences or whatever, is sure to fail.
The rarest of these specialists, he says, is an authentic genius — a person capable of having seemingly good ideas not in in general circulation. “A genius working alone,” he says, “is invariably ignored as a lunatic.”
The second sort of specialist is a lot easier to find: a highly intelligent citizen in good standing in his or her community, who understands and admires the fresh ideas of the genius, and who testifies that the genius is far from mad. “A person like this working alone,” says Slazinger, “can only yearn loud for changes, but fail to say what their shapes should be.”
The third sort of specialist is a person who can explain everything, no matter how complicated, to the satisfaction of most people, no matter how stupid or pigheaded they may be. “He will say almost anything in order to be interesting and exciting,” says Slazinger. “Working alone, depending solely on his own shallow ideas, he would be regarded as being as full of shit as a Christmas turkey.”
Slazinger, high as a kite, says that every successful revolution, including Abstract Expressionism, the one I took part in, had that cast of characters at the top — Pollock being the genius in our case, Lenin being the one in Russia’s, Christ being the one in Christianity’s.
He says that if you can’t get a cast like that together, you can forget changing anything in a great big way.
