took a little jaunt outside to get the snow off of the squirrel cam and have a little field trip!

For today’s episode of War Stories, Ars Technica sat down with Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner to learn about the challenges he faced while bringing his ambitious vision for the game to life. As the 1980’s wound down, Mechner found himself fighting against not only the limitations of the Apple II hardware but the impending death of the platform itself. Decades later, Prince of Persia remains a classic example of how the constraints of early gaming led to solutions that advanced the artform.

Need a change?
Give intentional sameness a try.
It’s a profound shift in which you honestly take stock of who you are and what you enjoy and adjust your plans to optimize that person’s happiness.
Experiment with the idea that you, now, are valid.
For many, it’s a bold new path.

I posted the above text on social media a few days ago. While walking in the woods today, I thought I would talk a bit more about this idea.
There are many things we can’t control. For the things we can control, what is driving our decisions for how we make plans?
