Play this: ‘Soul Searchin’

You know the expression “to pick one’s brain”? That’s precisely what gets Benjamin (the little pink guy you see above) into trouble. You control Benjamin in Soul Searchin’, a delightful platformer that sees you play with scale to get through to the end. Like the short film classic Powers of Ten, each segment will bring you down to one-fifth of your size as you continue through smaller and smaller passageways deeper into your mind. 

I absolutely love seeing original ideas like this. Top-notch game!

Learn to code, but don’t quit your day job

Given the ever-expanding role of software in our lives, it shouldn’t be too difficult to ascertain why so many people have been exuberantly advocating learning computer programming recently. This idea that everyone should learn to code — practiced at new websites like Codeacademy and preached by media cheerleaders like Douglas Rushkoff and Tim O’Reilly — has become practically meme-like. At its best, it has sparked a long-overdue conversation about the importance of understanding and participating in the complex systems being built around us. But the philosophy recently found an interesting opponent in noted programmer and blogger Jeff Atwood, who earlier this week argued the contrary: that average folks shouldn’t bother learning to code, unless they’re planning on making a career out of it.
