The Very Special Shutdown Notice has been released

I have finished and released a fiction project which is minor and experimental (aren’t they all?) but hey, it’s a release. See it at A Very Special Shutdown Notice. As I explain in the About page, my main goals are to popularize and explore the Simulation Argument and transhuman issues; to build an audience for my eventual game Pod Tycoon; and to drive some traffic so I can exercise my site in preparation for release of the first Picture Game Platform game I am hosting, called Taboo Snaps. Please check it out and let me know what you think by leaving comments on this post.

Once the site starts to show up reliably in search engines, I will make a push for a viral spread-the-word campaign. For now, don’t make any special efforts to spread the link around. Stay tuned for my request for you to do that soon!

World of Warcraft as leadership training

I liked this story about a guy who got a good job at Yahoo because of his leadership of a WoW guild. I’m no more prone to believe in a causal link between game playing and good behavior than I am between game playing and bad behavior, but at least the perception of same got this guy a job!

Enjoying Warsong Gulch

I really like playing World of Warcraft in Warsong Gulch. Between that and the latest Battlefield 1942 demo, I’m convinced that these big team-vs-team games have a big future– with plenty of room to grow. WoW is not really built for PvP so all this is just a start…
