Sword and Laser joins Geek and Sundry!

The science fiction and fantasy audio podcast (and community) that Tom Merritt and I have been hosting for the past four years is going video! We’ll be joining Felicia Day’s Geek and Sundry YouTube channel starting April 13th! Here’s the promo for the channel below.

The full website is here, and we’re very excited to be a part of it! Audio listeners, have no fear: we’ll still be doing an audio version of the show every other week, which will dive more deeply into the book club portion of the show. The video show will involve interviews, news, and reviews. Stay tuned for more info!

Also, our set is just amazing.

The Mobile Security Show Episode 3

I’ve been hosting a series of mobile security panels for the AT&T Tech Channel alongside information security specialist Dino Dai Zovi. Above is the third episode, Dealing With Exploitable Mobile Device Vulnerabilities.

The rest are viewable over on the Mobile Security Show homepage!

Game On! on TWiT.tv

Thanks for all your kind words out there about my departure from Qore, but now I’m stoked to finally get to show you what I’ve been working on!

This is the (very rough) beta episode, and we’re working hard to get all the kinks worked out in time for our January 15th official launch! In the mean time, here’s all the relevant contact info:

On to the next adventure!

Some of Team Qore in London

When I joined the team at Qore in April of 2008 (April Fool’s Day!), I don’t think any of us had any idea of what to expect. Nothing like Qore had ever been done before. A subscription-based digital magazine? Available on the PlayStation? All I knew was that this was going to be interesting.

Since the show launched, I’ve had the opportunity to meet some of the smartest, most interesting people in the gaming industry, traveled the world to speak with incredibly creative game developers, and even had the opportunity to voice characters in the DLC for one of my favorite titles of all time. Plus, we’ve had an unbelievably talented group of people at Future Studios US that made the whole thing possible.

Qore is a growing and changing program, and one of those changes will be a new host for Episode 43 and onward. There will be more announcements coming soon, like who Qore’s new host will be (I think you’ll be super excited to get to know them!), so keep your eyes on the PlayStation Blog.

As for me, well, I’m already in overdrive with new project ideas and possibilities, and I’m excited to get started with the next chapter (I mean that literally too… I’ll be using some of this time to start my first NaNoWriMo novel)!

Thank you so much to the Qore viewers who have made doing the show so much fun, and to everyone on the Future Studios team (and at Future US in general… all my friends at PlayStation: The Official Magazine, GamesRadar, OXM and PC Gamer) for all their hard work, and of course to Sony and the folks at PlayStation for making it all possible.

As always, you can keep up-to-date with me on Twitter, Google Plus, Tekzilla, Sword and Laser, and right here on this blog. I’ll see you on the outside!

And if you’ve never seen Qore before, here’s a preview of Episode 41, out now!
