Unprecedented Month of Blogging

April 1, 2011 - Features

So Andy of Onefinemess was down at Ta-Nehisi Coates’s place calling for an Unofficial Month of Blogging.  The idea is that participating bloggers post at least one thing per day for the month of April.  I figured I’d jump in since I’m trying to get this blog restarted.   That’s an awful lot of close readings of art games!  I may include posts on some of the thoughts I’ve been having about conversation engines, as well as any other nonsense that occurs to me.

This, by the way, is my cop-out post for today.  I’ll get real tomorrow.
