…And just like that, six months have gone by. Let me ‘splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. In the past six months, I’ve: Co-taught the Annenberg Innovation Lab’s 2015 CRUNCH Student Design Challenge (an intense crash course in entrepreneurialism) with Erin Reilly, Francesca Marie Smith and Ian Donahue Guest-lectured on transmedia […]

I love this bit from Robin Sloan’s About Me page: What’s a media inventor, anyway? I think it’s someone primarily interested in content—words, pictures, ideas—who also experiments with new formats, new tools, and new technology. Allen Lane was a media inventor. Early bloggers were media inventors. The indie video game scene is full of media […]

I’m digging this trend (a couple years old by now but still worthy of appreciation) of collaborations marked with an x. TEDx Transmedia. Monocle x Samsung. MAKR x Monster Children. Stumptown x Poler. It’s a bit hipstery, sure, but I like the implication that the collaboration isn’t just A + B, but A x B […]
This is one of my favorite times, the liminal space between one year and the next. For most people, this time for intense thinking and planmaking runs from Christmas through New Year’s, but at MIT this period is extended through the beginning of February.

In the Boston area tonight for Futures of Entertainment, or a C3-minded local who can’t make it to the conference? This evening from 5-7, the novelist, anthologist and cross-media storyteller Jeff VanderMeer is giving a free, open-to-the-public talk as part of MIT’s Comparative Media Studies Colloquium lecture series and the unofficial kickoff to Futures of […]

I love the people, the panels, the bookshop (especially the bookshop) and the level of conversation that happens here, wide-ranging debates that cover everything that has to do […]
I have not been blogging lately. My previous post moaned about not having blogged for a month, and now this post arrives a week later. I’ve been reading a lot of stuff that I want to get out of my inbox (and my browser windows) and share some thoughts about, and I basically need to […]
Welcome back, old friend Academic, translated Tell Harry pривет
The blonde in black leans against the iron railing, Exhales long and slow, whispering smoke, A promise formed in the plume, Tells our man what he needs to know, What he doesn’t want to hear, And he disappears into the fog The sound of his departure cleverly masked By the thunder of the 9:45 Express […]
Air is crisp, sky is gray, Cups of cocoa as handwarmers, Friends in tow, leaves are fireworks, The tall ship in harbor welcoming us to town, Pumpkin ale at dinnertime, jelly pumpkins for dessert, The witch is lit up in green neon and the game is on, Posters of CAPTAIN SATAN, KING OF ADVENTURE secured, […]
