Reporting in from ISTE2014

I just arrived in Atlanta, Georgia for the last two days of the ISTE 2014 and discovered my mates Alan Levine and Ben Rimes are not here. That’s disappointing. I mean, the International Society for Technology in Education (ITSE) conference is the largest  educational technology conference in North America. Surely it’s the type of conference these two guys would […]

The virtual economy within Ingress

Wherever there’s a demand there’s a business opportunity (I guess.) Ingress presents an example of a virtual economy, where in-game items such as resonators, bursters, virus, power cube and other equipment can be sold for real-world currency. Interesting.

It took some time, but Red Bull’s marketing team eventually responded to the majority of people who responded unfavourably to the promotion.

Remembering the RENDERSAUR (1997 to 2000)

Recently, I’ve been remembering the RENDERSAUR. The RENDERSAUR was an online art project I maintained seriously from 1997 to 2000, less-seriously from 2001 to 2002 and then trailing off completely around 2003 to 2004.
