A quick upload for those who might be interested, but missed my posterous postings, these are the write-ups from the two sessions I suggested at Devoted and Disgruntled this weekend just gone.

I still don’t quite understand why tech and lefty political conferences are still run in the top-down speaker/panel format… But yes, more posts to follow as soon as I have the chance, including exciting announcements.
Very interesting stuff; I have never considered the links between video games and theatre. I used to play alot of video games, these days, only the interesting indie titles that are out there (cheap and are quick to play); but these kinds of titles and promenade theatre certainly press the same buttons…I had never realised this.
