I was planning to post something this week, but it’s going to go up next week instead. It encompasses gaming, biology, creationism, and Pharyngula, and it’s also substantially longer than anything I’ve posted here yet, so I hope you look forward to settling in with the (as it turns out not very) sordid tale.
There’s been a lot of other fun work. I’ve been preparing for another “Speaking Up” spot on Skeptically Speaking on Friday, August 20th. I also wrote two articles for AbleGamers, one about a patent for Microsoft’s new Kinect gaming system that included the capability for sign language (which was later reportedly dropped from the project), and another about how the strength of the PC market positively affects disabled gamers. Although I don’t have any real experience in market research analysis, I found that applying critical thinking to the data in the latter story helped a lot. And if you missed my post about my adventures in pudding…well, there’s probably a better way of phrasing that, but I promise it’s fully SFW.
And then — scroll down to the flyer — there’s this neat party happening practically around the corner from where I live, in Hollywood, on Saturday, August 21. The IIG are a great bunch of people, and I really hope to celebrate with them…and with you too, if you can make it!
I would like to send you off with this week’s CNN spot about the AbleGamers Foundation. It’s short, and it nicely spotlights the work that Mark and Steve are doing, which I’m proud to have the opportunity to support. Have a great weekend!
