Saturday, Jonathan installed and beat Portal.
(Portal is a single-player first-person action/puzzle video game developed by Valve, consisting primarily of a series of puzzles which must be solved by teleporting the player's character and other simple objects using the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (the "portal gun"). The goal of each puzzle is to reach an exit point. The "portal gun" and the unusual physics it creates are the emphasis of this game.)
At the end of the game, he received a cake, a cute binary cake, as reward for finishing the nineteen levels.
The Portal Cake
That's all good and well, but he deserved a real cake for such a victory.
So I baked him a Portal Cake.
Jonathan's real life Portal Cake prize. With the November issue of WIRED in the top left corner, and Jonathan's feet to the right.
This cake is great. It really is so delicious and moist and no attempted murders were involved in the creation of it.
Random Fact
Look at me still talking when there is Science to do!
-Still Alive by J. Coulton
If Jonathan's personality could be summed up in one line, this would be it. Whenever I hear Still Alive, I think of him, and the science he could be doing if he wasn't talking to me.
Everybody, sing Still Alive with me!
