Sitch Ring
Since this is almost the third post in this vein, I’m tempting to add a tag on my blog for “news about sitch-like devices”. If you haven’t heard about the Sitch, it was a device I invented for the purpose of Deviants, a play I wrote and acted in this past spring. The central idea…

A Short History of Progress
Summer of 2004:I’m bussing downtown at Chez Piggy, leaving me pretty unstimulated intellectually, leading some critics to call this “a rather boring summer.” While trying to cure my boredom, I discover Second Life while surfing on mmorpg.com.

What I learned in Montreal
On Wednesday, I took a bus up to a meeting of IGDA Montreal, to one of their casual meetings about the games industry. It was all really interesting, and too hard to sum up here, but here’s what I learned: – Montreal is becoming more and more the Hollywood of Games.– I have childish writing.–…

Bacon's Lover Blog Post #325: on the road
Fuck I love bacon. Sometimes I get really intense cravings, and I want to be able to just snap my fingers and have bacon rain from the sky (see Perry Bible Fellowship). I want to eat bacon on with everything. With mustard, with eggs, with cats even. Are the new viewers gone yet? I’m on…
