Braid developer Jonathan Blow working on a Project Natal game?

You heard it wildly speculated about here first.

Safari dialog reading, 'Are you sure you want to close this window? You have entered text on [this page]. If you close the window, your changes will be lost.'

I seem to start writing a lot of stuff that I can’t be bothered to finish. Or, equally, I write stuff that I decide is stupid, and so I decide not to post it. The latter, at least, is good, I think — I’m being my own editor. And everyone knows that every good writer needs a good editor.

Therefore, I am a good writer.

It’s based on a new Nokia handset, the ‘6131-NFC’, which has a specific new kind of wireless technology built in. So you’ll need to buy a new handset for it. There are also issues with “the logistics of managing tickets within the phone interface, and the security of the system”. The handset actually has a special “secure memory module” to store the ticket information.

Impressive collaboration. And technology.

Too bad I got there first:

Mobile phone with an Oyster card sellotaped to it
