What is this?

Gary.land (this website) is a random collection of things I found interesting. This is the public side of my private server, it is not a portfolio website. Some of the older stuff pre-dates modern Javascript and mobile devices so you might need a full-size screen, mouse and keyboard.

Login is only required for accessing the private side of the website. If you don't already have an account then you probably don't need one. Some of the minigames track high scores so you can create an account for that if you'd like.

Here's a partial list of some mini-games and long-form interactive articles:

Dungeon of Thunk
3D Dungeon. In progress
Powers of Two
My version of the 1024 tile-slider game
Beat the Market
Can you beat the stock market average?
Lunar Lander
Apollo 11 simulator. Hint: read the instructions first
Public Key Cryptography
Test your knowledge of public/private keys.
Privacy, Security, Freedom
A very long series with a yet-unsolved mystery at the end.
xkcd
A one-hour animated movie worth watching.

Interactive Articles & Minigames The long-form articles below are as simple as possible but some subjects are simply not simple. In addition to the giant piles of words, each article includes interactive elements and usually a mini-game.
