I suppose 9:30 in the morning is too early to post something with such a dreary title, but that’s about how I feel at the moment. “Hallowent” is sort of the past tense of “Halloween”, to my mind – Halloween, Halloweening, Hallowent. And even though the day just began, it’s pretty much a lost cause […]
I woke up this morning to find two fantastic emails from old Kenyon friends in my inbox. The first was a final installment of Beth Roche’s cross-America letters, a series of missives dispatched by email from various stops in a drive from Massachusetts to Washington state. I remember the last time I drove across country […]

I’ll post some notes about the Game Writing Conference soon (which was amazing), but I just wanted to point something out to the world. Today, October 29, 2005 at around 1:45 PM, Boston had its first snow. It’s falling in bg white flakes the size of quarters, and it’s gaining speed. Part of me thinks […]

Couple of quick things while I wait for the microwave to ding: Massachusetts is currently being spanked with cold wind and torrential rain. Not good when you’re supposed to be leaving on a jet plane. “What the hell,” I growled as I punched up weather.com – and then I saw the culprit: Wilma, wending her […]
So how cool is this? Late last week I found out about the Game Writers Conference that’s happening this week in Austin, Texas, and now tomorrow I’m hopping a plane and heading back to the land of ribs and Shiner Bocks. Kind of like a preview for next year’s SXSW, which I’m definitely going to […]
I want to send a shout out to my brothers at Tohubohu Productions, who are saddling up for the 2005 National Film Challenge this weekend. I wish I could be there to join in, but I’ll be cheering for you from way up North!
I’m sitting in the Spinners and Bloggers forum here at MIT and it’s okay – two of my cohorts and I were tied up in a business meeting and arrived late, so it’s entirely possible that we missed all the great fire and brimstone, but so far it’s only sort of enh. A couple of […]

Every now and then I do something fairly dumb. Mercifully, it doesn’t happen often, but on days like today, when I thought I was running late to my eleven o’clock class until I got to the door, peered into the little window and saw an entirely different class, then had to pull out my datebook […]
If you’ve missed the news, you’ve been under a rock – Apple just stitched up the online video market. Between the new video iPod and iTunes 6 (which lets you buy and download music videos and ABC TV shows for $1.99) it’s a brave, brave, brave new world. I can’t get over how huge this […]

I need to get a new photo taken, because the one at the foot of this page (and which serves as my bio photo over at geoffreylong.com) is woefully out of date. I have once again grown in my winter beard, my hair is getting longish again, I am well and truly enrolled at MIT […]
