Brenda Laurel’s Purple Moon computer games aimed for the tween girl market. Her book Utopian Entrepreneur is excellent — I’ll certainly use it in an upcoming media course at Seton Hill. Here’s a choice quote from the Stanford talk:
1. We covered a truck in pink fuzzy material. Boys didn’t go for it. Pink fuzzy overrides truckness.
2. We took a diary and put some bulletholes in it and labeled it “War Journal”. No go. Diariness overrides warness.

Amusing
Brenda, Steve (Kesler) traded our paid for nissan quest van of two years in on a truck (with payment of 350.00 per month) just to get his testosterone flowing. Personally, I did not speak to him for a couple of days. But to think a man would go into debt for the sake of testosterone juices enrages me! Missy just laughs and shakes her head at her brother.
