Princeton Videogame Conference: PrologueJerz’s Literacy Weblog)
Presenters have started to gather for Princeton’s videogame conference. About eight of us met for some socialization last night. On the way home, I misread my map, managed to get myself taken to the wrong Red Roof Inn. This is all rather ironic, since part of my talk covers map-making in Will Crowther’s “Colossal Cave Adventure.”
I just shook hands briefly with Nick Montfort while on the way to make copies of my handouts. I’d better get back to the coffee and donuts… More later.

Thanks to both of you — a potential future student and a former student. You guys are the reason I get do all this crazy stuff.
Go, Dennis! Enjoy the conference.
Hope you’re having fun. Missed seeing you at the campus.
