With technology advancing so fast these days, it's hard to believe the game of Go is still relevant at all. And yet, that two-dimensional pastime is more fun than ever, thanks to AI analysis and wild new experimental 3d experiences.
Speaking of, I've got a new project in the works that's certain to delight. Within a new virtual company headquarters, I'm building a Go experience so big, it needs its own room.
More details to come once I've finished up with the corporate tax season. Ah, if only someone would create an immersive 3d accounting experience... NO, I have to stay focused right now.

With Shimari Go Discipline making Featured Article for September over at Sensei's Library (and thank you to whoever did that), it seems like the company is on the cusp of success. However, more work must be done before I can enjoy a well-earned retirement.
Since Go is still the best game ever, I'm doubling down on my commitment to building software about it. This week, the brower extension got an update with a move-tagging feature: during play on OGS, you can mark a move for later review using a newly-injected button panel. If that doesn't excite you, hopefully the phrase “additional quality-of-life updates” does.
In other news: Air Mirth One continues its reign as the only Go airline, and I encourage you to follow on Twitch if you want to catch the next flight. We've yet to successfully land... but each day is a new opportunity.

With the Go airline about to cross over into the Asian market and the release of the open source Shimari Extension this summer, it feels like Mirth Turtle is on the cusp of explosive success. But just in case any VCs are hovering, it's pragmatic to have a pivot planned and ready. Luckily, there's an adjacent animal from which to execute such a maneuver: the esteemed tortoise.
This fall, a new branch of the business is taking shape. Focused on live coding, open source software, and supporting shareware authors from days past, Source Tortoise Software is almost here to diversify the animal line-up. Keep an eye on the Twitch channel for the inaugural broadcast, and let me know if you think of any more shelled creatures I can incorporate into the project.
Speaking of incorporation, Mirth Turtle corped up this summer, which means I'm now obligated to multiple classes of shareholders! To prevent me from being removed as CEO in disgrace, please help the company earn profits by investing in a Mirth Turtle membership. The lifetime option is most prestigious, but now there's a monthly option too, if you needed a reason to put a 🐢 into your monthly budget spreadsheet. Because let's be honest – we all need more animals in our financial documents.

I'm burning the electric blanket & throwing away the sun lamps because it's SUMMER. I've started in on a new piece of writing, I'm updating the stock market game with more interesting financial events & bug fixes, and even finding time to marinate my favourite meats in specially selected balsamic vinegars. Summer is here and it's never going to end.
