*Peeks head into Gamer Twitter* You know who GDC could honor instead? Maybe even make an award in his name? Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge. The reason you don't buy a whole system just to play one game. https://t.co/y9ta7hoeA2

@AndrayDomise There's another black video game pioneer, still living, that many people still don't know about: Ed Smith of APF Electronics, who has an amazing story. I wrote about him too: https://t.co/OGDebw7kgE

Groundhog Day! Punxsutawney Phil has spoken and there will be six more weeks of winter. This is not uncommon or accurate. Surprise! But you know what is surprising? The fact that the club that tends to Phil year round speaks to him in "Groundhogese" and possesses a "ancient acacia wood cane" that allows them to understand Phil. It's all fun and games but also borderline cultish. I approve.

Here's some distractions to fill your elongated winter time.

Parkour Robot - news to me but, apparently, the latest robot from Boston Dynamics - named Handle - can do a bit of Parkour. This beast can jump 4 feet in the air and travel over multiple terrains. Excuse the cheesy Mashable video explaining all this but we've come a long way.
November Trailer - Oscilloscope is putting out this insane film which looks to be a cross between The Witch and anything from Guy Maddin.
january.meme - if you understand all of this, you may be spending too much time online. For the record, I understand all of this.
Football Jeopardy - blank stares all the way. I empathize.
15 Birds - a little throwback here to the animated Hobbit movie which is still absolutely terrifying.
Redbone, Animoji - I can't lie, I loved this and I know it's an ad meant to pander to me but I still fell for it.
Richard Williams - Animating Movement - not really an absurd video but a fascinating essay on one of the best animators on the planet.
Groundhog Day Deleted Scene - here's Bill Murray as Phil Connors showing off his pool skills. It's, admittedly, not the most compelling scene but it's a nice lead-in to other deleted scenes and essays.

Stay safe. Be warm!
