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 [...]

Jason Fagone

Usually I just post here to pimp something I wrote, or something I like. I’m generally happy with what I write. Immodestly, I give myself a B in a world with a lot of B- in it. I’m not rife with false modesty most of the time.
In this months esquire (I presume, [...]

Best video conference software ever

Also a lot whackier (there’s no other word for it, safe for work [...]

Why Star Wars is Religion in a Bottle

My column this week is about Star Wars. Not just about Star Wars, but about this ill-concieved pet theory I have that it’s the presence of religion in the SW universe that makes the fiction resound so strongly with kids.

I want to live in Kansas

Not 6 words I thought I’d ever write. But there’s this guy running for office in Kansas who decided it was time to actually be an internet candidate – as in someone who understands what XKCD and Rickrolling are. He’s going to rock the world. I gave him 10 bucks, and I [...]

Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog

Nothing I ever do will be this brilliant.
