Long time no post

It’s odd how twitter and my regular stuff at GamersWithJobs.com has completely replaced my need to maintain a blog. That and being unbelievably swamped with work.
Layer on the podcast, and I feel like I have really undergone a transformation in how I interact with the web. Dare I call it “2.0?” Blogs are [...]

Podcasting and Strategy

Dilligent rabbitfollowers might have noticed I started doing a new podcast with Troy Goodfellow, Tom Chick, and Bruce Geryk, called Three Moves Ahead.
It’s a much more casual affair than the Gamers With Jobs Conference Call, my other weekly podcasting gig, in the sense that we just start talking and Troy hit’s record. On the [...]

Me and My Brain

I’ve long wondered if and when I’d ever write about epilepsy in the context of gaming. Well, turns out I had a reason a few weeks ago, so here it is.
As usual, whenever I write something I don’t hate, Lara Crigger shows up and writes something that makes me feel like a 2nd grader.

So here’s the thing,

EGM has closed it’s doors. 30 good people out of work. Latest of four magazines I’ve written for shutting down.

In this months esquire (I presume, [...]

Best video conference software ever

Mac or PC, quick install. Works on my freaking Macbook AIR for Pete’s sake. Super, amazingly great awesomeness.
That is all.

If it’s going to be a circus …

… then let’s at least let it be a fair circus.
Bob Barr (Libertarian candidate for President) has sued to remove McCain and Obama from the Texas ballot. He has it 100% right, and he should succeed.
He won’t of course. But I think this quote says it all:
“The seriousness of this issue is self-evident,” the [...]

Magic: The Gathering meets Elections

Pure gold.

Elegance

I finally have a decent post up again at Gamers With Jobs. I’ve been in a combination of a slump, an overload of work, and family vacations. On top of that, I’m failing to keep up with Marathon training. Regardless, the launch of Spore got me thinking about elegance in games, and so I [...]
