Game On! on TWiT.tv
17Thanks 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:

Living Like the Jetsons: Smart Technologies in a Datapocolypse from Roamz App on Vimeo.
I recently moderated a panel at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco along with Roamz CEO Jonathan Barouch, Nick Bilton (New York Times) and Brady Forrest (Chair for O’Reilly’s Where 2.0 conference) talking location, smart technologies and the future of web based technology.
BlizzCon Interviews
0BlizzCon 2011 was amazing, and no matter what you think of the announcements (PANDAS!) there was plenty to talk about. The wonderful Scott Johnson of The Instance podcast sat in with me for three interviews during BlizzCon. If you’re a listener of his show, you may have heard some or all of them already, but here are the interviews in their entirety. Enjoy! And sorry for some of the background noise, we were in a location with a lot of other reporters also doing interviews.

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!
