I’m not entirely sure when it happened. It probably started a while ago — after all, I’ve been eagerly checking the PreCentral blog for the WebOS news for months now. I’ve been toying with Palm’s software development [...]

[Interview Link] The Student Who Risked Life and Limb For a Signed MacBook
January 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Interview, Links
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is known to react strongly in the presence of Apple technology, and not always in a good way. Take, for example, the time when he pretended to stomp on an iPhone after a Microsoft employee tried to take his a picture with it.
Jordan Bennett, a 20-year-old sophomore at Nashville’s Belmont University, [...]

[CES 2010 Link] Get Ready for “Tablet 2.0″
January 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Feature, Links
You may not know it, but there’s something missing in the tech industry’s lineup of computing devices. Somewhere between the one-to-five-inch screens of smartphones and small gadgets, and the 15-inch-and-up screens of a notebook, electronics manufacturers have left a gap.
I wrote this article for TechFlash that focuses on one of the four trends that was [...]

[Hands-On Link] Carnegie-Mellon ETC’s SurfaceScapes
December 6th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Links, RPG Bloggers Network, Review
A couple of months ago, a video started circling around about SurfaceScapes, a project from Carnegie-Mellon’s ETC that let you play Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition on a Microsoft Surface.
As it so happens, I was headed to Carnegie-Mellon a day or two after that video showed up, so I quickly wrote the team and asked [...]
[Link] The 2008 Black List
October 13th, 2009 · No Comments · Links
This is really interesting. Apparently, every year some movie industry insiders send in their favorite unproduced scripts and make “The Black List”. Thanks to the magic of the Internet, there are now 112 unproduced scripts (plus the now-produced Inglorious Basterds) available for download here. I haven’t had time to look at many (if any) of [...]

Have any of you seen this before? This is a collection of short, random ideas that H.P. Lovecraft jotted down throughout his life. Some of them were developed into stories, but a lot of them weren’t. Not only is this extremely cool, but there’s a lot of great inspiration here. Some of my favorites:

[Link] 9 Creator/Director on Post-Apocalyptic Worlds
September 11th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Links, RPG Bloggers Network
I just got back from seeing 9 earlier tonight, and I loved it, for reasons I hope I can put into words for a future blog post. Most of it was the world and the character development though, and much to my surprise, when I got back, io9 had an article from Shane Acker (the [...]
