Geeks rule.

I have a buddy who is teaching his young daughters math skills by... playing AD&D. Temple of Elemental Evil, no less. Srsly old skool. (They're loving it, btw.)

He decided he needed hex paper. He couldn't find cheap hex paper anywhere. He found pricey hex paper, but not cheap.

So, being a geek... he made his own. With proper numbering. And 30-hex uberhexes.

With PostScript.

And a text editor.

I am in awe.

You know, it took me years to appreciate RPN. Ever play with OpenFirmware on a PowerPC Mac? Implementation of Forth as the boot loader. Damn, but you could do some fun tricks with it. :)

And okay, *I* haven't run across anyone using hand-coded PS in the past decade... good to know there are still some insane ones out there.

Shine on, you crazy PS diamond, you.
