This is run by a friend of mine, John Datassette (not real name). He's a bomb game dev, squirty electro peacock and all round Little Lord. Check out his fiendishly hard game "Space Rubbish":

I made one of those mixes. Guess which one and i'll fax you some handmade congratulations.

Wow! The Datassette album is one of my favourites - Minus Fourteen is the first song on one of my favourite work playlists.

I have bumped into his name so many times , but never once though it was a made up name ! Is he a game dev himself ? Can I ask for the list of games he made , would love to check them out .

Yeah, he puts all his game stuff out here http://slakinov.com/. But I think his server is still down after Hacker News crushed it, ha.

Apart from his many superb technical contributions, I've always been fond of his poetry http://johnwiegley.com/category/poems/

I miss Steve Yegge! Please come back!

Me too - I wish I could read his internal rants at Google. I can't find something to replace the kind of blogging he did.

And I think I'm not alone in this: http://blog.fogus.me/2011/03/27/the-long-lost-art-of-thought...
