Finally published the high-concept presentation on a new way to think about entertainment that takes a medium-agnostic approach to sourcing content, a transmedia approach to world-building and management, and a co-creative approach to value generation by encouraging audience participation in content creation. While the concept is built on the influences of countless books, blogs, and [...]
So THAT happened
While crossing the street this morning on my way to an appointment, I was struck by something. A car. Happily and somewhat surprisingly, I suffered no broken bones and did not need stitches. I’m now safely home and resting, but I’m taking this as a sign to (literally) stop and smell the roses. I will [...]
The (Meta) Museum of Jurassic Technology
Although I had visited the Museum of Jurassic Technology website and had been warned (a bit) about what it was before my first visit, I was unprepared for my experience yesterday.

Fan-Forced Reader Behavior: DOA

Asus Eee PC 1000HE #WIN
Just before my last trip, I decided to try out a netbook. I’ve been lugging around a Dell M1710 XPS laptop for a couple of years, and while the 17″ screen size is nice, the battery life, weight, and (lack of) portability when traveling makes it more of a chore than a joy. I could [...]
Welcome!
You’ll notice the only post here at the moment is this very lonely message; that’s because I just launched the blog this week, and I’m currently slammed on my Runes of Gallidon project. Regular posts should begin some time next week, after the site’s public marketing efforts are well underway.
