Over the past couple of days, there’s been a good bit of attention towards the change in tone of the presidential campaign, more specifically, the McCain campaign. “McCain Denounces Pitchfork-Wavers” , announces the Time Magazine blog. And “Obama Thanks McCain for Admonishing Reporters” .
The incident in question is a campaign rally in which McCain told his supporters to “be respectful” of Obama, reassuring one man that Obama is nothing to be “afraid” of, and correcting one woman who described Obama as an “Arab.” The shift is being described as the McCain campaign’s backing off from fear-mongering and personal attacks; even Palin has been reined in and is now just calling Obama a baby-killer . Even the most cynical sources are describing it as a good gesture, but performed too late; “McCain Tries to Tame Flames He Earlier Fanned.” My reaction was the same, “thank God; maybe we’re ...

A post on Boing Boing was the first I’d heard of Omodaka , a collaboration from a Japanese electronic musician putting out some of the most amazing videos I’ve ever seen. (You can read more about the artist on this modern Japanese music guide ).
He’s got six videos available on YouTube , and pretty much every one is going to be something you haven’t quite seen before.

I’ve been thinking more last night and today about PAX and the “corporeal internet.” Specifically, wondering why going to a convention about videogames can renew my interest and surround me with a warm glow, while reading about videogames on the internet makes me want to punch people in the kidneys.
It’s definitely not for the hands-on experience — over the entire weekend, the closest I got to actually playing a videogame was watching other people play Left4Dead... more
It’s Over! From: spectrecollie.com Post Date: 2008-09-01 21:13:17
I’m not sure how they pulled it off, but PAX was loud, crowded, and packed with people trying to sell things, and it still managed to be pretty damn cool. I’m so used to leaving videogame-related trade shows and conventions with my will completely drained, convinced that I’ve made a horrible career choice — it’s odd to leave one excited about what I do for a living.
On the Penny Arcade site , Tycho says that one of the goals of the con is to “create a... more
The Penny Arcade Expo is this weekend, and I’m flying up tomorrow for another three days of being awkward and confused while surrounded by nerdcrowds. I’m actually looking forward to this one, unlike the Comic Con, because I keep hearing how PAX is the right way to do a convention. I’d actually forgotten it was a videogame convention until a friend reminded me — I’ve been to so many comic cons and Macworlds recently that I started to conflate them all. Oh yeah, v... more
