Wow! Michael Zenke posted a podcast at MMOG Nation all about well, my GDC 08 talk. Actually, not really about my talk, bbut about the "7-11" gamer that I invoked to illustrate that we are on the cusp of realizing that some people, no many people are beginning to have truly more meaningful and human life experiences online as opposed to their "real life".
Michael Zenke's 7-11 Gamer Podcast
Michael Zenke has a great speaking voice and I went to check out some of his other podcasts and he speaks really really well and he described much better than I did I think, that passion that I have that our work as online world builders (not gods!) is actually a tremendously important work of good that we are sharing.
It sounds a bit sappy, but I really was moved and a bit chocked up when listening to Michael's podcast as I really do deeply feel passionately for the investment of time, money, creative and even the life of the 7-11 gamer - the real gamers...
Michael is now off on his own after performing an excellent tour of duty at Slashdot and now is doing freelance writing for Massively, Wired and many more places...
I am looking forward to hearing and reading more of his thoughts...
Cheers, -Erik

Great blog. Keep up the good work. A new discovery has caused much excitement amongst many archaeologists from around the globe and causing some debate on this issue as it was previously thought that the Ark of the Covenant was permanently lost. Of all places in the world Panama it would seem to be the most unlikely place to have discovered this ancient relic the Ark of the Covenant, however new evidence substantiates the claims that the lost Ark of the Covenant was smuggled to Mesoamerica by Malchiah using the Phoenicians and was hidden in a cave in Volcan Chiriqui in the republic of Panama. Check out their link at The Ark of the Covenant Website (http://thearkofthecovenantdiscovered.com/) Chiriqui archaeological sites.

(6) Men employees will be given time off each week for courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they go regularly to church.(7) After an employee has spent his thirteen hours of labor in the office, he should spend the remaining time reading the Bible and other good books.(8) Every employee should lay aside from each pay packet a goodly sum of his earnings for his benefit during his declining years, so that he will not become a burden on society or his betters.(9) Any employee who smokes Spanish cigars, uses alcoholic drink in any form, frequents pool tables and public halls, or gets shaved in a barber's shop, will give me good reason to suspect his worth, intentions, integrity and honesty.(10) The employee who has performed his labours faithfully and without a fault for five years, will be given an increase of five cents per day in his pay, providing profits from the business permit it. -- "Office Worker's Guide", New England Carriage Works, 1872 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://juliolewisub.easyjournal.com
