People Make Things

Us vs. Them

I have a bit of a think about how the world asks us to divide ourselves. Yeah, I am still thinking Iran - but in my defense, I recorded this 2 weeks ago. All still very relavant. I promise, near the end, I talk games, entertainment, and culture... but the beginning is a bit political.

Chat w/ Pablo Bairan (Cosplay.ph)

I have a wonderful chat with Pablo Bairan from the Philippines about the Cosplay in the Philippines. If you've ever wondered what that was all about, this is probably the best explanation I've ever gotten about the lure, joy, and mechanics of cosplay.

Productivity & Art

I have a serious think about the whole purpose of this podcast, productivity, and how it relates to entertainment. 

Ninesquirrels goes to Berlin

I talk my trip to Berlin, and the perils of making assessments w/o context. I cover a bunch of ground. Airline travel, game conventions, immigration, architecture, and the age old question of whether or not to recline in airplane seats.
