A technical-type individual narrowly employed by a rather large corporation, my true interest is in creating things. I love all the arts, but the only one with which I seem blessed with a remote semblance of talent writing. So there you go.

Why Cake? I’m of a growing opinion that Cake is the purest and greatest of things in the world. Has cake ever done anything but bring happiness? Filled the world with fluffy, frosted goodness? I briefly ran a video podcast with a coworker called Video Podcasting For World Domination With Cake. The cake was an afterthought, but I think it was my subconscious starting to speak to me. I then played the most marvelous game, Portal, which tried to convince me that the cake was a lie. The cake is truth, I knew. So I explored why the Portal team came up with such an odd idea as cake for their game.  Quoting from Wikipedia:

“at the beginning of the Portal development process, we sat down as a group to decide what philosopher or school of philosophy our game would be based on. That was followed by about fifteen minutes of silence and then someone mentioned that a lot of people like cake.” — Eric Wolpaw

Damned right.

Writing is good. Cake is good. Writing is Cake. QED.
