I'm working on a new app idea. It's pretty cool. The Design Doc is 10,106 words. The To-Do list is 14,126 words. I've got my work cut out for me.

Some places have a way of becoming important before you realize they are. I finally sat down and wrote the long version of one of those stories. Buckle in! It's a long one... samoff.com/written/writ... #autobiographical #autobiography #essay #gamedesign

One pan going onto the grill — I roasted three pans worth.

I grew six 6’+ sunflowers from sprouts, harvested the seeds, and roasted them. SO many seeds.

I finally got some old/recent articles and one short story up on a public website. I’m still working on the home page layout, but it works well enough to share: samoff.com/written/ #scifi #dystopian #postapocalyptic #culture #gamedesign #gaming #shortfiction

Went and installed @mozilla.org #thunderbird (Windows). Haven’t used it for ages. It’s improved a lot and definitely outshines Outlook at this point. I was even able to easily sync my iCloud calendars.

But even if we successfully erase the existence of our life from our bodies or our work, our humanity still lives inside of us, and what of that?

, no live wires on the page or on our face – if we all stop hiking and just take the four wheeler to the top – those of us still on the dirty path are not just left behind, we look like failures.

That’s what all of this is – the Botox, the AI edits – a filter. If, as a society, we continue defining our humanity by visible perfection, if we redefine what it means to be alive – if we say that our living should be shiny and smoothed out...

Tim Samoff @timsamoff.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

The lure of perfection is ever present, and now it’s more attainable than ever. But quick fix perfection isn’t actually perfection. It’s a filter on reality.

I think AI is a helpful tool. I'm a creative person and a maker, so I try not to use it too much. This morning, I read this and found it very compelling.

I haven’t had one of these since high school maybe. It’s delicious.

This is very cool project that I was involved with. While my submitted game didn’t make it in, playtesting and proofreading was an incredible experience.

Great read — even food AAA game devs. I’ve been saying these things for years.

First day of a new job. First time in going into a job with no idea what’s in store. First day in over twenty years that I’ll be sitting in an office 5 days per week. First day in over 10 years that I won’t be driving my kids to school.

Tim Samoff @timsamoff.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

I didn’t make my goal of 205 books this year, but I did a lot less driving and got pretty close. Not bad!

Tim Samoff @timsamoff.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

Look at that. I go and get myself a job and I’m all of a sudden inspired to start working on new circuits again. Go figure. Still got it? 😉

“Language, then, is a field ready for the plow; a poem is the careful turning up of that field. A poem must break up the dry outer crush of assumptions to expose the fertile soil underneath.” — JANE CLARK SCHARL

“The word “verse” has an agricultural past: it comes from the Latin word for “furrowing” or “turning up the soil.
