Friday, May 29, 2009 at 1:01PM So I missed day one, but here for your reading pleasure are some blips and bleeps from day 2 of Games for Change.
Henry Jenkins, Jim Gee, games and learning, games for change in Academic Saturday, May 16, 2009 at 6:11PM The truth of the matter is, I'm way behind on my blogging. I still haven't posted about the fantastic racist toy that I won at the Star Trek pub quiz (the darn thing is really hard to photograph), and there's a whole slew of other timely topics that seem to keep slipping away. However, when Tolga sent me the link for An Engineer's Guide to Cat Yodeling, I knew I had to reblog it here. Behold:
Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at 11:54PM . . . that some individuals expected to find a more academic blog here, or even that it might be beneficial for me to be writing a more academic blog. This is actually not an unfair critique of this blog, however . . . let it be known . . . This blog will not be subjugated by any expectation of strictly academic content While there will certainly be academic thoughts on this blog, and the pursuit of noble topics like truth and beauty (among other more suspect constructs), this blog will generally not be composed of overly self involved prose defined around vague concepts. Rather, in an effort to avoid generating massive thick blocks of text, this blog will generally not string together impossible sentences with incomprehensible words, strictly for the purpose of creating a big texty space. In order to avoid such lengthy and perturbatory strings of text, this blog will instead, proceed laterally in the pursuit of real concepts about actual consciousness. Towards this end, this blog, will in-fact, pause only ex temporum, to ensure that no random latinate verbage is being deployed, nor that extraneous clauses are added, employing both vociferous text, and extraneous punctuation. Basically As is evident from the available data (and any reasonable interpretation there of), this blog will be prone to rambling. I believe that was there in the subtitle.

Monday, April 27, 2009 at 6:03PM Proving once again that the impossible can be made real, Filament Games has finally launched their long awaited new website.
I'm personally intrigued by The Lightbox where Dan Norton has recently offered us his expert analysis of Role & Identity in Games.
New Website.
Go there
