I’ve thought about doing this for years, but I’m finally taking the plunge.

Why, right here, of course.

Yes, the vlogging we talked about in such wistful, hopeful terms in the last podcast has actually come to pass!

When I first met Zoe she was in bad shape.

Software developers are notorious for underestimating how much time their projects will take to complete.

I have a collection of old computers that seem to be approaching the end of their natural lives.

After playing Christine Love’s amazing games Digital: A Love Story and Analogue: A Hate Story (which I reviewed here) I became obsessed with the possibilities of visual novels.

It’s hard to believe that William Gibson’s seminal book Neuromancer was first printed thirty years ago in 1984.

I remember the exact moment when I realized I was over World of Warcraft.

I was watching some of the PAX Australia panel footage on Twitch this weekend and caught a great stream with the BioWare team.

If you’re in the area tomorrow, why not stop by at VCON, the Vancouver Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Gaming convention?

Over twelve years ago I had a dream.

Gone Home got a lot of positive press when it was released last August, but many people bristled at the idea of paying $20 for what was ultimately a very short, if innovative, gaming experience.

I love science fiction in all of its forms: books, movies and TV, and video games.

That side panel on the left of my blog continues to taunt me.

I’ve watched hundreds of hours of professional Starcraft matches.

Today was my first day at Demonware, a really amazingly cool software company based in Vancouver and Dublin.

Writing is a funny thing.

After finishing my third novel in my trilogy (it’s still in editing) and starting the planning for a series of short stories, I wasn’t sure if National Novel Writing Month was a good idea.

I had an amazing time at the Book Fair last Saturday.

This Saturday I’ll be at the Book Fair in the Surrey International Writer’s Festival!

I’ve always loved science fiction covers, and even have my own favorite artists, but the cover images for science fiction classics often have little to do with the actual story.

Steve Jobs lived a fascinating life, and there has been no shortage of writers wanting to tell his story.

I’ve read lots of fascinating posts on the web about startups that failed.

Smashwords is an amazing site, and it’s been invaluable to me in publishing and promoting my fiction.

As writers, it’s our job to inspire as well as entertain.

newLISP on Rockets is my rapid web application development framework, which powers this blog and other sites.

Eighteen days ago, I made a decision that changed the fate of my third novel.

This is from my in-progress game mod using the Freespace2Open engine.

Thanks to my good friend Lois, I found out about the Startup Grind: Vancouver event that went on yesterday.

A lot of people today have some sort of vague idea about what OS/2 was, why it existed, and why it failed.

In my review of Get Lamp, the documentary about text adventures, I mentioned that the original Infocom employees believed the market for these games could exist for hundreds of years.

This discussion comes up all the time on forums, between fans of the original Starcraft and fans of Starcraft II, in particular, the professional scenes that evolved around those games.

This was a photoshop I made after an Inside the Game episode when djWHEAT joked that if Starcraft II added a fourth race it should be the Cat race.

There’s an interesting clash of cultures going on this weekend.

Those of you who know me know that I’m a huge fan of Wing Commander.

I’ve always wanted to combine my passions for writing and watching professional Starcraft, and now I’ve finally done it.

This is a test.

In this episode we go over some great games from Dreamhack and update the status of WCS Korea, Europe, and America, including WCS Points standings!

Part 8, or 8.5, or 9, depending on how you're counting, has been posted at Ars Technica!

Hello!

iTunes recently changed their rules for podcast feeds, and one of the new requirements is a high-resolution logo (1400 x 1400) so that all those lovely iPad Retina Displays don’t see nasty pixels.

The news is out that PC sales have fallen 14% last quarter over the same quarter a year ago.

I’ve long been an avid fan of 3D modeling, but the software is usually expensive and takes hundreds of hours to learn.

New comic uploaded!

There are a couple of things I always wanted to do but never did.

For the first time, Apple’s iBookstore has included independently-published books in its "Breakout Books" feature, and Edge of Infinity is one of the 55 titles selected by iBookstore UK and iBookstore Ireland!

Glad you could make it!

I know I'm late to the party on this, but I'm really loving Amazon's EC2 cloud computing service.
