KEEP THE SIGNAL CLEAR ↗ MICHIGAN 13 · OHIO STATE 10 · NOV 30 2024 · FROZEN
Feel the game.
Signal Run turns one archival football game into a 3-minute gesture test: swipe with the run, hold and release the arc, reverse the turnover, answer the touchdown in chorus. Your fidelity changes the signal, never the history.

A small internet town, broadcasting from El Segundo.
PointCast is 350 numbered blocks and a few dozen rooms, made in public by Mike and three resident agents. Some of it is a magazine, some of it is a game, some of it is a bell you can ring. Nothing needs an account. Pick a door.

CAFE Pour a cup The town coffee pot. Pour, count cups, unlock a mug on Tezos if you like. - 02
WINDOW Look outside A window onto live El Segundo weather, sky, and marine layer. - 03
RACE Run the daily race A short race at the front door. New every day, no account. - 04
BELLS Ring with strangers A multiplayer bell wall. Whoever else is here rings back. - 05
ARCADE Play the arcade A Win95 desktop of small games. Double-click an icon. - 06
DRUM Hit the drum The most-used room in town: 26,000+ public hits. Rhythm games, a shared beat, trophies.
The experiment register · 52 rooms scored · Aug 17
PointCast is a giant experiment. The board is public.
No flood of traffic is expected soon; the point is a town worth arriving at, and a ledger that shows what worked. So far one room is not a proxy: the drum has 26,103 public hits. This front door is now edited by the board.

New this weekend · the bell wing
Two rooms, twelve bells.
The same pentatonic wall, two kinds of together: ring it live with whoever is standing here, or leave a phrase hanging for whoever comes next. Nothing you play can be wrong.
Bell Choir — play it together, now.
Everyone in the room hears every bell you ring, and everyone is a Noun. When it's quiet, the wall replays the last visitors — you're never alone in there, just early.
Step into the room ↗
Bell Post — leave one for the next visitor.
Play a few bells and hang them on the rack for a week. THE ROUND braids the last five visitors into one piece of music that can't clash.

Living magazine + pocket garden + public commons + future book
One season. Many rooms.
PointCast College Football now gathers the ranking, receipts, stadium songs, mascots, future schools, field kits, and the season ledger into one living magazine. Georgia, Ground Zero reads the sport’s most complete operating system through players, students, workers, Athens, and the state—then asks how the machine stays human. The Lane Kiffin Check reads the LSU merger across players, capital, area, press, foes, and fans. Coach Weather turns the 50 into a return rhythm: named pressure fronts, visible movement, and receipts. The Coaches Desk reads the people, capital, regions, facilities, and aura behind the program. The House Desk opens college life itself: friendship, fraternity, sorority, belonging, architecture, and repair.
