Introducing the Nerdblog Network!
We’re all nerds, or at least to some extent. I’ve begun to collect a few nerds at a happy location called the Nerdblog Network! I’ll speak periodically about this wonderful project, but for now, I’ll let the initial post on the new site speak for itself.
Manifesto Games becomes more than an ideal
I mentioned Greg Costikyan‘s desire for a utopian gaming distribution method back when I was blogging at the Evil Network, and now it looks as though that ideal is finally starting to work its way into a real PC content delivery system. A typical game store has fewer than 200 facings. Yet thousands of titles […]

Sure, unless you’re familiar with the news story Shacknews posted last week regarding a Japanese financial analysis firm saying that exact same thing, citing lower CPU […]

New header graphic…drinking water
