David Moldawer, Kick-Ass Mystic Ninja, occasional book reviewer for The Dragon Page Cover to Cover and podcaster in his own right recently got a mention on Boing Boing. I love it when our kids grow up. [Sniff.]

WIPO Broadcast Treaty is a Bad Idea

I’ve been watching the debate on the WIPO Broadcast Treaty with the same attitude I have about most politics — sheer apathy. I freely admit it. Politics just seems to go over the same stuff I don’t care about over and over.

But this time I’m scared. And I give a serious amount of [...]

Gaming is good for you

When she’s not drinking and talking dirty to us, Mur writes for a living. She recently wrote for The Escapist, showcasing the power of gaming and gave huge props for our not-dead friend Derek.
