  • Ethics and Game Design by Karen Schrier

  • "Making Sense of Privacy and Publicity"
    'No matter how many times a privileged straight white male technology executive pronounces the death of privacy, Privacy Is Not Dead. People of all ages care deeply about privacy. And they care just as much about privacy online as they do offline. But what privacy means may not be what you think.'

  • Why you've never really heard the "Moonlight" Sonata. – By Jan Swafford – Slate Magazine
    'On the Katholnig, the effect of holding the pedal down in the "Moonlight" has a ghostly effect, most obvious in the longer-sustaining bass notes that can sound like a distant gong. All these elements of the pianos Beethoven knew shaped the music in the first place, including the way he picked out high and low notes around the murmuring figure in the middle of the keyboard.'

I’m a little bummed to have left when I did, as the project I was on was really gaining a lot of momentum.

    But! I’m even more excited about where I’m going to. Sifteo is making some really cool things, and I’m psyched about helping them explore new kinds of gaming experiences.

    But! Before I can dig into my new job, I have to get through GDC next week. I assume it’s going to be good times, but I haven’t had a chance to look into where the good lectures or parties are going to be happening. So I guess I’ll be winging it, schedule-wise.

    Life is good, but kind of hectic.
