I was sorting through some of my old notes and I came across a quote that I jotted down during a presentation by Massive (the guys who do in-game advertising). Talking about why gaming is more impactful than TV:
You can’t play games and do something else at the same time. Or someone will sneak up [...]
Friend and sometime collaborator Mr Bingo sent me news of his latest t-shirts.
I particularly liked this one:
I think it’s because I spent 2 hours with a bunch of ’suits’ yesterday. And it really made me feel very grateful that I don’t work in that kind of environment. It’s silly, but it makes a big difference [...]
Sorry for the blog quietness. Although I’ve not been busy blogging I have been busy doing other things. Like working. And more excitingly trying to buy a house in Brighton. I’m looking forward to living near the sea.

I’ve not paid much attention to the development of the One Laptop Per Child project recently. But looking at it again, it’s truly one of the most inspiring projects around right now. Their aims are really interesting:
The MIT Media Lab has launched a new research initiative to develop a
$100 laptop—a technology that could revolutionize how [...]
Someone mentioned to me that they were surprised by how much I hate Second Life, so I probably need to put the record straight. I don’t hate Second Life. In fact I love Second Life – above you can see my alter ego Taito Dahlstrom wearing his favourite grey leggings whilst having a great time [...]
