The internet of Everything (There's an app for... →
I had been thinking about the internet of things (i.e. your own personal cloud of all your things, phones, TVs, cars, lightbulbs, etc…) and this blog post seems to encapsulate pretty much all the half-formed thoughts that I had about the subject, saving me the time to write it down. Handy!

adam brault: I quit Twitter for a month and it... →
adambrault:
I surprised some people when I said I was taking November off Twitter.
I’ve been using Twitter since July 2006 (user #1568!) with almost completely unbroken usage since late 2007, so that reaction is understandable—most especially from those in my life who consider me addicted to my iPhone.

On Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook and its mission →
If you’re one of the many who, like me, watched the movie The Social Network, then I think this is a worthwhile read. What is it? It’s simply a deconstruction of the letter that Mark Zuckerberg sent to shareholders when the company went public and had its IPO (definition). What it highlights is that firstly, people don’t read the fine print enough and that secondly, Facebook and...

Money Supply White Paper
An interesting article on online economies and money supply. This is specially relevant to me since I seem to have hit the ceiling in Diablo 3 Inferno Act II. Between the exponential difficulty curve of monsters and maintenance of gear when you die, I am now broke and unable to buy any gear that would allow me to survive longer or kill more monsters and having to resort to ‘farming’...

”(…)You don’t need everything in your first product, it’s usually too complicated (…) so you need to make sure that you set those milestones, set those constraints so that you can actually ship… because you must ship.

5 Reasons I Think You Should Share Your Ideas
So, last week was Let’s Make Games 2012 edition of What’s Up Pitches?! over at Spacecubed.

The event is fully free to attend and to participate and we also had a live stream of the presenters broadcast over the internet.

I cast a Resurrection Spell on thee!
I have been rethinking for a while what I should do for this blog, the type of content, the format and everything and I’ve realised that I was spending a lot of time thinking and not doing which is one of the main resolutions that I had for the last few years. I am in many ways a perfectionist (I think most creatives are) and have been trying to learn over the years how to let go a little...

This article written by Sean Hood about screenwriting on the latest Conan the Barbarian script or lack-thereof could very well be about a lot of the creative ventures and the personal motivations that keep people doing what they are doing. I had a somewhat similar experience to this working in the games industry and it’s always interesting to see different perspectives on various...
