“You need an outlet”, said master blogger and journo gadfly Justin Hall to me at this past E3. And so, here is my attempt at a web log. Seems like Moveable Type is for brave folks, so please bear with me as I settle in and fiddle with the bits…

While in some ways the igda.org web site is an outlet for me, being the IGDA’s program director (and resident web guru), I felt it was somewhat inappropriate to post overly editorialized game industry news. Also, as the IGDA continues to grow I’ll be needing to use the homepage real estate more so for actual IGDA news and announcements (ie, chapter meetings, committee announcements, org news, etc). Hence moving the more “opinionated news” type stuff would be best served via blog. We’ll see how it works out :)

That said, I’ll mostly be covering industry issues type news and more artsy/academic style content. And maybe a pic or two of my cute son in the process (always feel the urge to prove us game folks are real people).
