Brion Vibber / is on Nostr

nerd, weirdo, person, whatever. i enjoy bad puns and you will see them. i also like going off on random tangents about tech, movies, or other random things of interest. fun activities include having mental health and flight simulation.

you may enjoy my work on mediawiki & wikipedia, or my wacky webassembly codecs. i hope for a world where computers help people instead of hurting them so much.

formerly of mastodon.technology and identi.ca (so it goes)

many years ago me and my family were having lunch or something and chatting about les miserables (as one does)
my brother was of the opinion that javier strongly needed to "just *chill*", and that some better advice in-world could have changed this character's trajectory
i frequently think of this conversation when i see villains in film (or the news)

My wife and I were wondering whether Dave Grohl would like Dungeons & Dragons; we thought maybe he would, he seems like a chill guy who might enjoy the roleplay element.
However I checked Google and found this:
> Did you ever play 'Dungeons and Dragons'?
> "No, never. i thought it was weird. Any fucking pair of dice that has 30 sides to it - I don't get it. Ask Jack Black about 'Dungeons and Dragons', that's not my scene at all."
