This weekend I availed myself of Dotster’s Memorial Day sale half off all .com, .net and .org domains with the right code, and please don’t start in with the “Yeah, but so-and-so is always cheaper, blah blah” because I’ve used Dotster since like 2002 and am a faithful customer, so there and now a couple of long-term oddities have been rectified. First, geofflong.com now redirects people to the appropriate site, geoffreylong.com, and (thank you, Ivan) tipofthequill.com now redirects people here. Similarly, bonesoftheangel.com, neverjack.com and winterchildren.com all redirect people to my Writing page. These little domains may not mean much now, but if I ever turn these stories into full-fledged books, games, movies or whatever, I’ll have my bases covered.
Aside from that, I spent my day dealing with little projects that had been piling up while I was otherwise occupied with school stuff primarily cutting articles out of magazines, scanning them, adding them into my database and chucking the remains. I figure I’ve reclaimed several feet of shelf space today alone. Go me.

After researching transmedia storyworlds at MIT, guiding Microsoft in its CTO/CXO's think tank, co-founding Microsoft Studios' Narrative Design team, and exploring the future of entertainment and media as the Creative Director and a Research Fellow for USC's Annenberg Innovation Lab, I'm now the Creative Director for USC's World Building Media Lab, a storyteller, a designer, a consultant, and a doctoral student in Media Arts and Practice at USC's School of Cinematic Arts. more »
