Autumn 2011 is going to see me on a lot of planes. On October 4th, I’ll be a guest lecturer in Henry Jenkins’ transmedia storytelling class at USC (see Henry’s full syllabus here – I am honored to be among some amazing presenters, and I would kill to take that class), and then I’ll be […]
…And that’s why the secret of the universe is a combination of quantum entanglement, interpersonal relationships and the square root of 1,764. What’s that? The signal cut out? Oh, how embarrassing. Sorry about that – let me try and catch you up. Over a year ago, I posted that 2010 would be different. Boy, I […]

(Yet another reason I love it so much here at MIT.) […]

The folks behind the upcoming animated movie 9 have created a “mad science journal” that could be seen a prequel-esque diegetic artifact, insofar as it includes “ink blots, sketches and doomsday prophesies” as well as a whole bunch of information as to how the ragdoll characters of the film came to exist. According to the […]
I’ve been working with the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab for a while now, primarily as its Communications Director but also occasionally as a researcher. This summer I had my first chance to write a game with this group, and now said game – Waker by Poof Games – is up and available to play for […]
This past weekend I was fortunate enough to join my friends MaurÃcio Mota and Mark Warshaw of The Alchemists (also here) as an invited speaker at the Descolagem lecture series in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Our hosts were Roberto “Beto” Largman and Marcia Oliveira, the founders of the Descolagem series and two genuinely warm and […]
