The Izakaya at the End of the Universe

Q: How do we improve a metaphor for eternal transience which attempts to blend the swastika, seasons, and the floating-world ambiance of a high-end Izakaya?
A: Shotguns. Duh.

The world is full of creations which fall short of expectations. I would have liked civilian NPCs and more intelligent AI. I would have liked it to be more Ghost in The Shell. But I chose to spend the time tweaking dimensions and weather effects. Having limitations, like a deadline, focuses us on what elements are important. Were intended elements wasted for never being realised? Better, I think, to wrap then ship, than delay or abandon. Creations - including their missing features - often go beyond our vision, sometimes expose emergent symbolism, and thus exceed our expectations.

Divest in yourself

Why invest in ' yourself '? You're not a fantastic investment. Before you splash that money on a degree or a coaching fee, consider the alternatives .

For Your Interest-Only

"Buy a house. Say, a hundred thousand. No money down, interest only loan to keep repayments low. Rent it out. Claim the loss on tax, that's negative gearing. Ten years later, sell it for double. Boom. You've made a hundred thousand out of nothing." I would love to pick this Australian dream to bits. "If he mentions negative gearing one more time ..." I would love to say that you needn't feel like a coward for demurring on a scheme that seems too good to be true. But the math checks out. Kinda.
