The 2012 release “Big Miracle” tells the story of the attempt to rescue whales trapped beneath Arctic ice. In addition to joining the growing genre of movies about animals in distress relying upon the efforts of humans to save them, “Big Miracle” becomes the latest theatrical release to examine the effects of media onslaught upon a small community. That latter film genre is probably more populous than you think, with a population highlighted by some genuinely subversive and challenging examples of cinema.

How R&D1 married form and function to create some of Nintendo’s most interesting oddities.

Don’t Fall in Love With Your Technology

In the 1990s I followed the Usenet group comp.lang.forth. Forth has great personal appeal. It’s minimalist to the point of being subversive, and Forth literature once crackled with rightness.
Slowly, not in a grand epiphany, I realized that there was something missing from the discussions in that group. There was talk of tiny Forths, of redesigning control structures, of ways of getting by with fewer features, and of course endless philosophical debates, but no one was actually doing anything with the language, at least nothing that was in line with all the excitement about the language itself. There were no revolutions waiting to happen.
I realized comp.lang.forth wasn’t for me.
A decade later, I stuck my head back in and started reading. It was the same . The same tinkering with the language, the same debates, and the same peculiar lack of interest in using Forth to build incredible things.
Free Your Technical Aesthetic from the 1970s is one of the more misunderstood pieces I’ve written. Some people think I was bashing on Linux/Unix as useless, but that was never my intent. What I was trying to get across is that if you romanticize Unix, if you view it as a thing of perfection, then you lose your ability to imagine better alternatives and become blind to potentially dramatic shifts in thinking.
It’s bizarre to realize that in 2007 there were still people fervently arguing Emacs versus vi and defending the quirks of makefiles . That’s the same year that multi-touch interfaces exploded, low power consumption became key, and the tired, old trappings of faux-desktops were finally set aside for something completely new.
Don’t fall in love with your technology the way some Forth and Linux advocates have. If it gives you an edge, if it lets you get things done faster, then by all means use it. Use it to build what you’ve always wanted to build, then fall in love with that.
