This is my favorite way to get up and happily it happens often. I love sleeping and perhaps more so, dozing. And dozing is an easy time to invent. Your mind wanders from one thing to another – often surreally (do you like that one?). Sometimes I feel like I would slumber forever… but then comes that idea for which I have to get up and write down!

My idea this morning was that it would be cool to take screenshots of Dan Zen code in related fonts and post the pictures on flickr. I did this for the Canadian New Media Awards and I wonder if that is why I won. It looks kind of cool! The code below is from Gorgolon, the underwater civilization multiuser sci-fi game from 1995. The game and more particular, the story to match the games I consider one of my greatest inventions. You can read about it here: Dan Zen Blog on Gorgolon
