IRC is Like Drug Dealing in the Ocean…
Wait… What? It’s how people (“hackers”) talk when they don’t want to be overheard? You mean like unencrypted straight text? Yeah, I mean, um… No. Just no. And 733t on IRC would likely get you banned. Ugh. Stupid television I’m glad I don’t have you.

Game Studies and Game Development Texts
I get at least two or three emails a week from folks curious about the texts that I use in classes or what I’m reading at the moment. So the new approach is to place all of those items in that sidebar. There are a bunch in there already, but only 3 at a time…

Digested SIEGE Follow-up
I knew I had some additional thoughts to share post-SIEGE, but they hadn’t all percolated up yet. Nor have I had the chance to sit back and record a video of the Unity 3D demo that I did. That should be coming soon. But not yet. In the mean time, Jason Della Rocca wrote up…

Blog Posts Around the Web
Well… I may not have posted much around here recently, but I’ve actually been writing all over the place. Mostly recently I posted two essays over at Game Design Aspect of the Month after the excellent Mark “Danger” Chen suggested that I might be a nice match for the August blogging topic.

(Inadvertantly) Pimping Unity3D at SIEGE
Well, this weekend was a whirlwind of activity at SIEGE in Atlanta. I ended up speaking at two different panels, one explicitly about Unity 3D and the other, ostensibly, about physics. Though it wasn’t my intention, the Unity 3D Panel ended up being mostly a Unity 3D love-in after Tom Higgins managed to handle the…

Experimenting with Format and FONM
I spent the latter part of last week at the “Frontiers of New Media” organized by some great folks at the University of Utah. You can get a sense of the conversation and the different talks over at their website, but I wanted to post here the contents of my talk, which were delivered with…

UGA ICE, ICE, Baby…
No, not that baby. At least not yet. No, this was a very fun talk presented at the University of Georgia‘s Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE) “Gaming Seminar” last Tuesday evening. All in all it was an excellent seminar, connecting me with all sorts of interesting new folks at UGA who I’ve not yet really…

There is a Freaky Mushroom in the Backyard
I’m not fully sure when it began to grow, but it has now been a staple curiosity of the backyard ecosystem for several weeks now and has even spawned several unsucessful artistic forays. Behold something straight out of my imagining of Lewis Carroll’s imaginings.

Daily Digest for August 24th
Published Daily Digest for August 18th Shared Fig. 8 released! Disturbed by the direction of recent #IGDA sentiment. So many years of positive developer work now seemingly brought to the brink… [#] Seems the only emotions I feel toward my email tend toward regret, disdain, apathy, … Sounds like it is time for this relationship…
