So this email news update for our local International Game Developers Association chapter might be syndicated on our blog. I'm just testing to see if we can basically cut and paste our email without having to reformat anything. Looks like yes. Also, I've gotten lazy yet again about updating my ...

One reason I like attending conferences in Pittsburgh is that you never know who you'll accidentally run into. With a relatively small and tight-knit tech/startup/gaming/social-media/etc community, you often run into the same faces time and time again. Like Nick said during his panel with Luke and Lynsie yesterday, it's less ...

This sort of last-minute announcement is probably better suited for Twitter, but I still have 20 more days until my annual twitter post on the 30th. So hopefully this short blog post will be sufficient to get the masses all atwitter.
At 7:30 PM, I'll be giving a short talk at ...

Tonight, I'll be at ITPittsburgh's first Connector event at the Altar Bar at 6 PM, talking about Dancetown. I've enjoyed speaking there before as panelist for Jessica Lee's Entrepreneurial Thursdays. It's a nice venue in a fun location, so please stop by (and RSVP if you can).
Next week, I'll be ...

Via Slashdot, I came across this great survey of the first gaming experiences of prominent journalists and heads of gaming companies (unless you've worked in the industry you're unlikely to recognize any of the names, but trust me, they're influential people).
One common thread that I noticed amongst many of the ...

It's the holiday season right now, which I like to think is more than just an excuse for rampant consumerism and gluttony. It's a season of giving, not just receiving. So in that spirit, I hope you'll join me for a fun charity event this Saturday. I've mentioned it briefly ...

Starting tonight at 6 PM, I'll have two days to create a game from scratch for the XO laptop at the Pittsburgh Game Jam. Since these laptops are primarily being distributed to children in developing countries around the world, I'm going to try to make something that's both fun and ...

Last night I went to two very well-attended geeky events celebrating simultaneous momentous occasions. Yesterday was Pittsburgh Bloggers' third birthday and the birth of DevHouse Pittsburgh.
While our celebratory cake was not quite as geeky as the one pictured above, the room was packed and we even had some new faces ...

I bet most of you don't know that Pittsburgh now regularly hosts the World Pinball Championships. Even though the organizers have been running it locally for almost a decade now (after relocating it from New York and Las Vegas), it doesn't receive much attention or press, which is a shame. ...

If you're a hardcore fan of The Office, you know that this week's episode is called "Dunder Mifflin Infinity." If you track the social media industry, you know that NBC is very aggressive in trying out new methods of engaging with their audience. And if you're me or one of ...
