News For Nerds

26 May 2010

Matt Wilson’s blunt and excellent post at The Bureau Chiefs (the group blog of the Fake AP Stylebook creators) goes after what passes for comics and video game journalism in its present state and points out in a numbered list just why it sucks so bad.  And yes, I’m pointing that out on a blog [...]

Roger Ebert – Wrong About Gaming?

19 April 2010

In the loud and unfortunately nonsensical (in many cases) reaction to Roger Ebert’s proclamation that video games are not and will likely never be art, it is easy to miss that Ebert is not decrying the medium or proclaiming it to be without merit.  He’s simply saying that games aren’t art. And, speaking as a [...]

17 September 2009

I have been opining a lot lately about the consequences of living in public. It’s been on my mind.  It’s even made me mildly paranoid about blogging some personal thoughts on a few recent dates.  Which worries me.  People tell me they admire what I write because of its unflinching honesty, both about myself and [...]

I Am What They Call The Best Of The Best

15 September 2009

Cover Your Ears For A Second

13 July 2009

Back to Batman and mixtapes tomorrow, gang. I’d normally talk about this over on my agency’s blog, but we’re getting a site redesign and our blog is on hiatus temporarily until then.  And after a convo with Matt Springer earlier today, I’ve been thinking a lot about this particular topic.  Apparently almost 1500 words worth.
