Doctor Who

Published on July 8, 2010July 8, 2010 by Andy Affleck

Without spoilers, let me just say that this last season of Doctor Who with Matt Smith as the Doctor and Karen Gillan as Amy Pond has been utterly fantastic. I have loved nearly every moment of it and was so glad to see that the ending was… well, not Russel T. Daviesesque. Stephen Moffat is doing an amazing job and I hope he continues it for many seasons to come. Well done!

Cognitive Surplus

This evening, I’ve been grooving on my friend Owen Gottlieb’s wonderful blog, Mystical Creative. He and I talked on the phone this evening in a conversation spanning game design, e-learning, and, of course, the Jerky Boys (it’s a college thing). Among the wonderful stuff he has there, I especially liked this TED talk by Clay Shirky on Cognitive Surplus.
