SXSW 2008: Edit Me! How Gamers are Adopting the Wiki Way
Pribul, Shelton, Burba and McKee.
McKee - from Inside view. Social community.
How many people are in marketing? Web dev? Game development? [It’s not that full an audience, and it’s only the first day. Most people are probably recovering from Ironworks]

I’ve been invited to take part in a panel for next year’s SXSW, Stories, Games and Your Brand by my good friend Rachel Clarke, of Behind the Buzz.

Tomorrow night is the fifth London Gamer Geeks night!
Last time, we had a quiz where we had questions like this:
Name four games with titles that begin with the words: “Sid Meier’s†(we’re not counting sequels)

bring your DS and swap games! (extra points for bringing a Game Gear or a Lynx)
shout about Sony Home! (and, by logical extension, how no one you know […]
Next Wednesday, 20th June is the third London Gamer Geeks night, helpfully billed by me as:
A geeky games-type thing where we do stuff like:
bring your DS and swap games! (extra points for bringing a Game Gear or a Lynx)

I completely forgot to post a reminder about this ahead of time - the night before (only just) isn’t really enough warning, but at least I did post about the talk I’m doing at the Cheltenham Science Festival about a month ago.
Anyway: I’ll be speaking at the Cheltenham Science Festival this year at Virtually Nowhere […]
My brother Adrian is also moving on from Mind Candy. The two of us have talked about what we might do next, and I imagine that we’ll be talking about it as soon as we’ve figured out what it is. I think it’s fair to say, though, that we share some interests.
