I’m posting this from Madison, but wrote most of it in O’Hare, where I was stuck for a few hours about a week and a half ago (cancelled flight, waiting for a delayed connection, blah blah blah).
It’s been a busy month, first with travel to LA (for Sandbox), and then Boston. I logged a [...]
I’m interested in interactive fiction again lately, so when I stumbled across a picture of a younger Dave Lebling on The Computer Chronicles from 1985, I had to track down the episode and watch it. My Dad and I used to watch this show every Saturday morning when I was a kid!
It’s actually a [...]
Constance forwarded the absolute best, most hilarious bit of “press” (sort of) about our talk at the American Psychological Association in Boston the other day. Here’s an excerpt:

Hi everyone! It’s been ages since I’ve posted — I’m basically using Twitter as a daily (sometimes more often than that) blogging thing. I’ll probably get around to fixing up this site one of these days, who knows?
But, hey, I just had to post about my 15 seconds of Trekkie nerddom fame. [...]
Well, hey, lookie here, I’m in the local paper!
Last week, Rob Thomas of the Capital Times called me up to talk to me about a paper I wrote for an educational psychology class last spring, on expertise in Guitar Hero. I’ve posted on this little blog about that paper before, but in case you [...]
Here’s a press release I saw this morning on a LiveJournal community about the TV show Spaced, one of my favorites of the past handful of years:
