This is a hello post
I pitched it as a supergroup. The slide on my presentation was a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album cover not because I have any particular affinity for “Teach Your Children” but because the super-constituents themselves are right in the band’s name. My supposition was that making a dent in video game coverage in 2012 would require more than great content – which I know...

Fishtown Zoning Meeting = 10 ayes, 0 nays
We finally had our neighborhood zoning meeting. We arrived early (thanks to Erin!), with our presentation in hand (think high school science project). The board members arrived one by one but – what’s this? – there’s no community members. A handful finally showed up (maybe 2-3?) but, for the most part, the decision was made by the Fishtown Neighborhood Association and the lone...

On AOTS, talking E3 "winners"
On the last day of E3, I found myself racing down Olympic Blvd., following the combined advice of the show’s producer and my trusty rental GPS, looking for the E! Studios which also house the G4 crew (who were previously in Santa Monica I’m told). I was asked to offer my thoughts on who “won” E3 for their The Loop segment. My call: Sony, for all sorts of reasons (one...

On GameOne, talking Gamers Days
I’m back-dating this one, since GameTrailers only recently added permalinks to their GameOne program. Now, I can link you straight to my appearance on their Beyond the Headline segment where I spoke with the always pleasant Daniel Kayser about the run of pre-E3 Gamers Day events from folks like Sony, Ubisoft, and Nintendo.
A note, I myself did not attend any of the above events...

On AOTS, talking Halo 3 beta delay
Bungie: We are SO mad at you. Well, not really, but if you found yourself hanging out on the internet last Wednesday, the mulling crowds of virtual townsfolk replete with virtual pitchforks and virtual torches probably gave you the distinct impression that castles were being stormed and the evil scientists that reside therein would, any minute now, be pulled asunder by the bloodthirsty mob....

New American Paintings (now with more Erin Murray)
The fine folks at New American Paintings finally got around to adding the contents of issue #69 to their beleaguered website. Why should you care? Well, in addition to trying to edify yourself (you uncultured heathen), Erin’s latest works can be found in their hallowed pages. But don’t settle for the website’s clumsy formatting and one measly reproduction — Blue House...

On BBC Radio, talking electroencephalography
Unless you happen to live in the UK and are employed as either a night watchman or long-haul trucker, you probably missed my late-night appearance on BBC Radio’s Pods and Blogs — “an hour of radio dedicated to covering the news as it’s seen by bloggers, podcasters and the citizen media” — discussing new technology that aims to translate the power of your mind...

My dog is (internet) famous
Yuki got groomed for the first time ever last Wednesday (thanks, Susan!). The impressively fluffy results can be seen above. In fact, Erin and I were so impressed with how fluffy she was (thanks, hair dryer technology) that we felt compelled to preserve it in digital amber. After admiring her for another couple hours, Erin made another attempt to expose Yuki to the cute-addicts at Cute Overload...
