Here is an interesting interview with Robert Scoble on the “sensational” transition he made from Microsoft Blogger to instant new media pundit:
I’ve been fascinated by Robert’s rise to fame and have been eagerly watching his new ScobleShow over at PodTech.
He’s worth a view — mostly because of the unbelievable access he gets with his camera and jolliness. He’s technology’s Gomer Pyle, and somehow that congeniality has made him the go-to guy for new media.
Go figure. But congratulations anyway, Robert. Keep the interviews coming.
Looks like one of our own is making good in gamespace — here is a nice article from Jesse Upchurch on video game addiction that just hit gamecareerguide.com. I’ve been playing a ton of Second Life lately — not to mention my latest re-discovery of XBox Live.
In these games, the player takes on the role of an avatar that ventures through an elaborate fantasy world and interacts with other real players and NPCs (non-playing characters). The attraction of this genre of games can sometimes lead to players feeling the need to play even to the detriment of other aspects of their life. This leads to a question that many have debated and are still debating today: is it possible to be addicted to an online video game?
I didn’t think it was possible to be addicted to the games. Sure, I play hours upon hours of “Gears of War” online, but no — not until I introduced my father in law to Zuma did I realize the true danger of online gaming to humanity.
Direct from the Big Horn Brewery in Lake Oswego, Oregon. On this week’s show, Rob Lewis regales us with tales from the road, his Chris Rock impression, and his thoughts about working in the Bunny Suit at Intel. Apparently, it’s not that cool.
