Catch Up

Okay, it’s been about two weeks since I last posted, so I thought I’d write this general catch up post. Here’s some recent things that have happened since then in roughly chronological order:
Gamers Give Back was a great success. We raised over $1000 for the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Also, I think the 40 some people who attend had lots of fun in the gaming tournaments and got some great deals on used games. I forgot to bring my camera, so I didn’t take any pictures, but expect some to pop up on the PIGDA photo pool soon. In somewhat related gaming/charity news, playable versions of the games developed during XO Laptop Game Jam I participate in last month are now available to be downloaded. Our friend, Mike Woycheck, has finally launched his local clothing line, WearPittsburgh.com. If you’re still looking for great holiday gifts, I highly recommend their shirts for both locals and Pittsburgh expats alike. As for local events, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend last week’s Geek Night or CMU BVW Show. However, it looks like there will soon be video of the BVW Show online in the near future. I was able to attend yesterday’s Olympus Event at CMU, which Norm has already written about. I’m still digesting my thoughts, so I’ll post my thoughts about the event later. Plus, I’m feeling a bit of pressure from Lenore Blum to somehow top the popular Bob Dylan’s Olympus Summary video. Since I’m now a contributor to IHeartPGH.com, I’m thinking about reducing the amount of local events coverage I do here and shifting it over there. I’d also appreciate any feedback people have about what sorts of posts they’d like to read on this blog. |

Love the image really funny.
I didn’t know you were contributing to iheartpgh.com. Is there a way for your posts on iheartpgh to appear on edeify.com? I think that would be a good way for you to keep this blog updated while providing material for both sites.
