Trinity always amazed me because of its intricacy and story of course, but reversing east and west after traversing the Klein bottle amazes me both as a player and as a programmer. How the hell did they do it? I don’t think they used a simple text replace – you wouldn’t want the game to refer to a bwest or a fwest. However they did it, it left a very strong impression on me, and sparked an interest in such things.

I still have the model you sent me on my coffee table, and it makes a great conversation peace. Recently, a friend saw it so I explained about Klein bottles. “Wow, I didn’t realize you were such an egghead. Did you, like, go to college or something?” “I did, but never got a degree.” Hah!

I found the statement that the blind may have the key to reviving the genre very profound. That might make a good subject for an essay or something. I’ll give it some thought. I’ll also listen to the rest of the lecture. Oh also, cool about producing a blind-friendly version of the documentary. You may as well just make it available as a file as you said. The blind probably couldn’t access it through standard dvd navigation anyways. Oh I can’t wait.
