This blog post will be, like the game it’s about, small. I don’t really have a huge amount to say about Small Worlds, which was developed for a recent Casual Games Competition with the theme 'Explore', other than that it’s a remarkably elegant and effective piece of pixel-art brilliance.

A game which only ever alludes to having a deeper plot, Small Worlds opens with a single line before jumping to the gameplay – “There is too much noise”.

The gameplay itself is simple. At the start of each of the five levels the viewpoint is zoomed in on you – a small red line with a pale face and zero animation. The aim of each level is then to find the exit, which returns you to a hub level before you move on to the next world. There’s no fighting, no skill trees and no enemies. It’s just a gentle and rather lovely paced matter of exploration.

It was a perfect Field Day weekend from where I stood. The weather was warm, skies clear, the space weather was calm, and there was enough propagation to make a domestic contest interesting. I had no plans, so on Saturday I went to the web site and used the Field Day Station Locator. The one I landed at (W7AUX) listed a contact number, a cell phone at the site. I inquired if they needed a CW op, was told "We could use any operators," and drove up to the site north of Seattle. I had a lot of fun on 20 meter CW. Sporadic E even helped out, and the 6 meter station made a number of contacts with other Field Day stations in the western U.S.

The Ministry of Transportation in Ontario, Canada announced on September 30 that Bill 118 concerning distracted driving will take effect on October 26, 2009. According to Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) Vice President for Public Relations Peter West, VE3HG, the new law makes it illegal for drivers to talk, text, type, dial or e-mail using handheld cell phones and other handheld communications and entertainment devices. Following a three-month period that begins October 26, the focus will be on educating drivers; police will start issuing tickets on February 1, 2010. “All two-way radios in all vehicles -- with the exception of emergency responding vehicles -- must be hands-free in three years time,” he posted on the RAC’s blog. “This news comes from the official government staffer who has been in communications with Radio Amateurs of Canada over the last year.
