…another post from my work blog: Change happens This article, The Internet Isn’t Just for Computers Anymore, highlights the pace of change in technology. It notes that most of the websites that we take for granted and use daily (or many times a day, in some cases), did not exist 10 years ago. But it [...]

Place-based Games in Contested Spaces Tuesday morning at AERA (The American Educational Research Association’s annual meeting for 2009), Kurt Squire, Jim Mathews, and I presented for 45 minutes on using mobile media to make place-based games. Afterwards some folks came up and asked if that presentation were going to be available online. We hadn’t thought [...]
I booked a package through Expedia and got airfare and 6 nights at the Hotel 500 West for $450. I may look more carefully at what I’m buying next time. Air travel was a 2-stop, 10-hour ordeal. The hotel is basic. It’s comfortable enough, definitely a no-frills place. Previously it was a YMCA, so the [...]
