I did this last week, and while it didn’t spread as a meme, I still think it’s a good idea. Pete agreed. So here are three more people whom I’ve never linked before.
Bonnie Burman Photography – Bonnie is a family friend who runs a photoblog. I really enjoy her work. I suppose it helps that my kids are subjects in a lot of the shots on her site. She specializes in child photography, which is one of the most challenging areas of photography in my book.
Byzantium’s Shores – Kelly Sedinger has been nice enough to send a few links my way and I’ve been remiss in not pointing out that the place is a goldmine of geek culture links and musings.
I just discovered this post by Jacob Pederson which talks about “gaming degrees” and working in the videogame industry. A great read for anyone who follows this subject or anyone thinking of getting a “gaming degree”.
LATER: Fixed the link to Bonnie, which linked her studio page and not her blog.
Playstation 3
What was the problem with the Playstation 3 hardware and why did Sony build it that way?
Programming Vexations
Here is a 13 part series where I talk about programming games, programming languages, and programming problems.
Bethesda NEVER Understood Fallout
Let's count up the ways in which Bethesda has misunderstood and misused the Fallout property.
What Does a Robot Want?
No, self-aware robots aren't going to turn on us, Skynet-style. Not unless we designed them to.
This Game is Too Videogame-y
What's wrong with a game being "too videogameish"?
Thanks for the pingback. This is actually kind of a freak occurance as most of my gaming related blog stuff is located at TheGameChair.com However, occasionaly I post game related stuff at Muyuubyou (which is pretty much a poetry blog) if I want a certain friend of mine to catch it. This particular article was originally published with The Reader Weekly, a local paper in Duluth MN where I live. Thanks again for the ping!

Thanks for the linkage! I found you via Steven Den Beste, and it says a lot that I read all those gaming posts of yours all the way through, even though I never play computer games (because if I did, my marriage would have ended years ago with a footprint matching my wife’s shoe on my posterior as I hit the pavement).
Thanks Shamus!
I found my way here via Byzantium’s Shores. Just thought I’d say ‘hi’. :-)
