  1. RT: Here's my Wired story about Valley tech geeks hoping to establish autonomous floating micronations at sea. http://tinyurl.com/a4arod
  2. Just occurred to me that it's dumb to have a Twitter handle that combines my name & the name of my employer. Please follow @chrisbaker1337
  3. RIP Patrick McGoohan. Remembering the time that the penultimate episode of the Prisoner triggered an acid flashback for my college buddy.
  4. Lots of articulate savvy moguls and execs at the Game::Business::Law conference in Dallas. Also, me.
  5. http://tinyurl.com/5wnd27 Fun Photoshop contest riffing on launch of Wiredmag UK. My fave: Wired cover from 1835 http://tinyurl.com/9xr5xv
  6. @robcapps Is this about that last Halo match? Look, I'm sorry. You're good at...other stuff. Stuff that doesn't involve dodging bullets.
  7. Wired has a great Clive Thompson piece on how a game's drecky story can actually IMPROVE the play experience. http://tinyurl.com/7se7uz
  8. @leighalexander & @SusanArendt : I prefer to think of it as being engulfed by Hearst Publications. Makes it a little easier to contemplate.
  9. First mag I ever wrote for--and the best game mag in the US--gone. http://tinyurl.com/9bj6hz Sad day. Deepest sympathies to all 1UP people.
  10. Yay, just got review code of Crayon Physics Deluxe. Back in March, I wrote a love letter to the game in Slate: http://tinyurl.com/2xcsmf
  11. @simoncarless Yay, so glad you're on Twitter. You'll take to this medium like a fish to H20; your linklog posts were succinct protoTweets.
  12. Reading great bio of Charles Schulz. In '60, he inked a huge endorsement deal. First Peanuts toons were Ford ads: http://tinyurl.com/8mdwyk
  13. More than you wanted to know about the Star Wars Xmas Special. http://tinyurl.com/8skmhy (I'd blocked all memories of softcore Wookiee porn)
  14. My pal Alex made a sad country Xmas comp: "Daddy's Drinkin Up Our Christmas," "Is Santa Claus a Hippie," & more. http://tinyurl.com/a2wug6
  15. Hoarse; muttering lyrics to "Gimme Gimme Gimme" under my breath. In public.How did I get talked into playing Singstar ABBA for three hours?
  16. @jasontanz Try to steer conversation around to more interesting topics, like kerning and serifs.
  17. Oh mah gawd--a ill reindeer. http://tinyurl.com/2sll8t
  18. Saw some of West Side Story for the first time in 25 yrs. Not quite as grittily urban as I remember. But Twin Peaks cast members star.
  19. Is the phrase "a set of open APIs" redundant?
  20. @kouroshk ugh, stuck in office closing a story...I will try to make it if I get out of here soon
