Corporate Ladder is a strategic game of stacking blocks for 4 to 6 players. Players take turns placing their pieces on the grid. The object of the game is to take up the most space. Players can use their turn to build up their own territory or to take over one of their opponents territory. If you take over another players tower you take over their points, but if you knock over a tower you loose the game even if it s not your turn. Tall towers become a liability to everyone. Two players competing for a tower are subject to the scrutiny of the other players. Aggression towards another player is subject to the scrutiny of the other players. A piece is considered horizontally adjacent to another piece only from a top down perspective. If a piece looks like it s next to another from above it doesn t matter if there is a great difference in height. The core mechanic of the game is very simple. There are two shapes of blocks that come in a different color for each player. To participate in the game you only need to concentrate on the act of stacking blocks and building structures from them. It’s pleasing to stack blocks in any form that you want and players often find them selves anxious to make a move before it’s their turn. The deeper pleasure in the game only comes in towards the middle of the game play. When two or more players construction plans reach a point of intersection. Once the board gets a little more crowded the game transforms from individual expression to social interaction. Interestingly, once players are forced into conflict and reconciliation with one another, personalities become as much of a deciding factor as building strategies do. There is a tendency for each player to either engage with one other player or to try to avoid all other players for the entire game. This has a result that many four player games are actually two separate duals being played on the same board. After the dominant player attacks one of his nearest neighbors, the other two players decide to either engage with each other or to avoid all other players or keep to them selves. Again this is not always, but often the case. Other times there is an equal engagement with all players. This results in a very uneven distribution of the pieces on the board, because as soon as each player reaches an intersection of the group structure, every successive move is dedicated to topping the group structure. The symptom of this dynamic is a single tower somewhere near the center of the board with all four players placing their pieces somewhere near the top of the tower every turn. This is the shortest possible game because the tower becomes unstable so quickly. There is an inverse relationship between the level of engagement between all the players and the distribution of pieces on the board, which suggests that an optimal strategy would be horizontal expansion with minimal engagement with the other players.

Jessica has truly finished her first year of design MFA school, so we celebrate by going to Deep Eddy in Austin, Texas to film some underwater videos. A little bit about the pain of shopping carts, and what to do when impersonating someone.

This video presents the indirect, but unequivocal recognition of the Bulgarian characters of the Slavs of FYROM by Mr. Antonio Milososki [ - Antonio Milo oski - ], its current Minister for Foreign Affairs, via two articles in the local daily newspaper "Utrinski vesnik" (" ") from 2006, when he did not have a political office: 1. An article in which he claims that the s.c. "Macedonian Patriotic Organization" -- MPO , an ardent Bulgarian nationalistic--conservative organization operating for decades chiefly in USA and Canada , is the true keeper of the authentic identity of his people, preserved by emigrants from Geographical Macedonia, most of them emigrating before WW II. 2. An article in which he acknowledges a wrongdoing by the Communist regime in case of its political opponents, listing people of which some are known for their opposition to the system on the basis of their Bulgarian nationalism, and their cause as just. Brief montage of the facsimiles of the original articles are given, together with evidence from the official site of the MPO which indicates that this organizations considers the Slavs of FYROM as ethnic Bulgarians ( ), in present and historical sense as its giuding idea and official policy.

Return of the Tasmanian Tiger reflects on the scientific attempts to preserve the genetic material of the Thylacine, Australia's long-extinct marsupial predator. The video employs aesthetics of popular scientific television documentaries to inquire into discourses on scientific knowledge and documentary representation.
