    Ideas are flowing.

    Cash is staying ahead of credit bills.  Student loans have enjoyed low interest rates since I finished school.  The job is secure, though not very exciting.

    Considering a table purchase. June 3/4 http://socialmediacamp.ca/sponsors/sponsorship/

    I’ve been hanging out with some really cool game designers.  Maybe we’ll split on the table and then we can have some demos next to my slide show prototype.

    Working on a 30 second prezi.

    Wanting to buy 25 or so domains for A-Z testing. :-) Q = http://www.questioncollector.com Getting a quote from my local host.  Who I am going to talk to about design for a logo, maybe with webpage.

    Planning contest. Part-time web developers coding contest. Win my personal trove of board games and a share of the action.  Flash? Java? Django? Other? I don’t care we just a need team of two to win and work with us for the summer.  Sticking with our core values: freedom, fun, and peace. You must be willing and able to party, hear Imagine and actually Imagine what he describes, believe in freedom, even before you believe in democracy.  If you want to be a customer, that would be a great start.

    Politics is long overdue for an upgrade. Are you ready for borderless debate? Mob fights with no weapons, but words? Gladiators go to battle, the Emperors decide their fate? Emotional ranking and filtration. The game begins.

    Help me make it to round three!

    May 10 is the deadline for my submission to qualify for round three of the New Ventures BC 2010 contest.  I’m writing this post to detail my current draft plans and get feedback from you.  Is it clear? Did I answer the questions? What else should I consider?  I would love your harshest criticisms and any encouraging comments you can spare.  Thanks for reading!!!

    The Listening Machine on Prezi

    I dug this out of my archive. I liked the pictures I used. Isn’t BC beautiful? Anyways, this is from a Toastmasters speech I gave in July 2009, and it covered some of the basic problems I’ve been approaching. I want to thank Victoria Beaver Toastmasters for cheering me on. They seemed to think I was going to be rich someday. I don’t know if they were right. I think I’m already rich and I sure don’t have any money. :-) I just want help building this thing, so I can play it and see if games really can change the world.

    I think I’ve done two full iterations of the design and talked to at least seventy-five people directly about it since then and most people are really enthusiastic. I’ve only had one person say it was a terrible idea on a blog comment, I asked him to find others to berate me and stop me from going ahead, but he said it would only take one person to stop a bad idea. Anyone else think that is slightly illogical? I want war to end. Did it work?

    I also want to thank Allen for coming up with this draft tweet for entry into a US contest I can’t enter. “Engage politically disenfranchised with online game which displays consolidated opinion and fuels sponsorship of political clarity #100KTwitch” It’s nice to know that someone out there is reading my blog and getting a clear picture of what it would look like to them. Any other enthusiastic readers interested in this game? I want to stress this is a text based game, not video, and not 2d graphical, but still a game with actions to take, an exciting ladder to climb with your friends, and nifty rewards to earn. I would love a set of comments saying “I am interested” or even better “I’ll do everything in my power to stop you, even if I have to do it alone!”.

    Love your enemies! Thanks for reading.
