Nobody’s Top Ten But Mine (for 2011)
Every year, I do one of these top ten lists. Or a top fifteen. I try to play the critic and justify my choices with a range of reasons from erudite to ridiculous. This year, I think I’m suffering the same critical fatigue as the rest of the Internet-aware world — which I suppose is …
Snapshots from a Beta Test
Star Wars Galaxies – Beta Testing, a set on Flickr. In 2003, I beta-tested Star Wars Galaxies, the first MMO set in the Lucas-built world of my youth’s fascination. Set in a period between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, players could make their way in various worlds as pistoleers, as crafters, even …
Yes, You Can Spotify On Your Kindle Fire
If you search for Spotify via the app store on your brand new Kindle Fire, the predictive text will suggest “spotify” and “spotify app.” However, the results display only Pandora, Rdio, a collection of songs from Glee and Cut The Rope.

In our just-closed production of Henry IV – Part 1, The Douglas (that blood-thirsty Scot) claimed a Lord’s ear as a means of defying the standing king. The act was done off-stage, coupled with a scream of pain. After, The Douglas would stride on-stage, proud of his deed and bearing his bloody prize, much to …
Gear Up for Steve Jobs Day
Steve Jobs has had a marked influence on your life. You resisted him for years. You’re no fanboy, never a fangirl. Computers are tools, devices are merely those things that get you through the day. There is no place in your busy, very practical life for frippery. And yet … Look in your purse, there’s …
Kickstarter – This Time It’s Personal
I’ve promoted Kickstarters before, but this is the first time I’m speaking up for a project that involves me directly. I’ll be playing Marty in an upcoming production of The House of Yes with Flickering Productions. So if you’ve got some extra cash, slip some under the door … Share
