Resume updated

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Woohoo, resume updating time again. It was a crazy summer, but now I’m setting into a new project that’s not at all ARG-like. I think I’m really going to enjoy it.

I love gooooooooooooooold!

Here’s the rest of my Fredericksburg cache swag for Violette’s Dream.

It’s real, and it’s spectacular.

There’s gold in that thar ARG!

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

This is about a game called Violette’s Dream. The ARG is to promote the release of a first person shooter called Velvet Assassin, due out soon.
The upshot is that I went to get a cache hidden in Fredericksburg, Texas, found a phone number in it, called it up, and had an out-of-game conversation with [...]

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Everybody and their dog blogged about the Manhattan ARG-house. Now chief Lost/Alias/Cloverfield dude J.J. Abrams is going to turn it into a movie.

In Soviet Russia, Rabbithole Falls Down You

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

I’ve gotten a ton of trailheads in the last several days.
First came Violette’s Dream, who emailed me a Carroll-esque poem. Turns out that one’s for Velvet Assassin, an upcoming video game.
Then there was this huge protracted spammy conversation on Twitter from a couple of people who had recently friended me. I made a [...]

A prayer for a PM

Monday, April 21st, 2008

I’ve been away from regular net access for a few days, so it’s taken me a while to have a moment to post this here. Some of you might know that Dave Szulborski is ill. It’s serious. He could definitely use some well wishes, prayers, and spirit lifting. If you have [...]

Majestic Postmortem

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

This is mostly to keep myself from going crazy in 2 years when I’m looking for this link again.
Postmortem of Majestic by one of its designers.
Also, I turned off the Twitter digest posting for now, although there will still be some over in the sidebar. It was just too creepy to have it automatically [...]

Panelist at SXSW

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

I was asked to fill in as a panelist for SXSWi this weekend. The details about our panel aren’t online yet, but it will be about ARGs (of course). Tony Walsh and Dan Hon will also be on it.
We’ll be in one of the rooms on Saturday at 3:30. Come by if [...]

Tidbits

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

I ran into people talking about gutta percha three times in the last week. I’d never heard of it before.
I got invited to join the honors society at school.
I also submitted a paper about Disney’s parks and how they relate to Fisher’s Narrative Theory for presentation at SOURCE, my school’s annual conference, and it [...]
