  • Doing augmented reality research. Also, macroeconomics of consumption. #
  • "Rhetoric moving the tax burden from capital to wages suggests the very rich need to be bribed heavily to use their resources productively." #
  • A+ on my first econ paper! A strong start! #
  • Holy cats! Surfing a "oops don't reply all" email wave with over 1000 replies so far. Its an in-house meme now! #
  • Interesting observations about the "bully pulpit" of social media. RT @NPRHealth: What Went Wrong With 'Pink Slime' http://t.co/1qo426ig #
  • After a day of reading the #DndNext docs, the reponses on at least 20 blogs, and taking some time to ponder, I've come to a REALIZATION. #
  • More than any other art or entertainment form, gaming is about shared ownership. Publishers, players, authors, GMs & artists build together. #
  • While system & production are important, nothing trumps the perfect balance of shared ownership – malleabilty without loss of core identity. #
  • By focusing on reverting to particular mechanics, you miss the point that what makes games great is the people who make the game their own. #
  • IMNSHO, the success of KoDT, Pathfinder, Retroclones, and "Indie" games is a lot more about engagement than particular mechanics. #
  • Inspiration to dive in and make something of *your own* is what fires imaginations…and there is nothing inspiring in the docs right now. #
  • It's always more successful, long-term, to whip out a compelling "What about *this* cool thing!?", than to condescend or copy. #
  • I do my best, but sometimes, there are just no words. #
