Very here for this. But would adjust the lineup to include Curie. An amazing person, great story, and foundational physics (and chem).

“Transmedia’s hegemony taps into a long-standing gripe about the culture industry; namely, homogeny, that popular culture will liquidize into one money-flavored corporate soup.” Mmmm. Tasty.

It seems that transmedia is alive and well. At least in think pieces. Even if we don’t want to just call it franchising. https://t.co/NbksVV2noL

The HBO series’s wild success has changed the game. Expect to see a lot more world-building franchises.

Re-upping my donation with SAG-AFTRA joining the WGA on strike. And taking special pleasure at submitting for my corporate matching gift. Especially after this week’s internet main character role. Join me if you can: https://t.co/mE2Bdsheft

Happy to be able to contribute to the Entertainment Community Fund to help those involved with the WGA strike — either directly or indirectly. And delighted that my gift has gotten corporate matching from my currently-on-the-other-side-of-the-negotiating-table employer.

Happy July 4th. Here is a (dummy) 6" shell, the type that is launched at Disneyland which is the only place in the world that uses Disney's patented compressed air launch system instead of black powder which is expensive but no launch smoke/pollution. One of my Disney Projects.

Sometimes, after watching a well made tutorial video, do actually feel like I’m in The Matrix. “Now I can knife-pleat.”

One of the benefits of being on the Peabody Interactive Board is recognizing inventive videogames that have a #storythatmatters and wicked fun gameplay. Unpacking by @witchbeamgames & @PlayHumbleGames is all that. This playthrough video gets it "They don't deserve you."

If we were really serious about recognizing achievements in videogames there'd be an award for "Best Spreadsheet"

About 15 years ago, I stopped asking to work on specific films at ILM and instead started asking to work with specific PEOPLE. Artists I knew I could learn from. Nothing has boosted my career growth and job satisfaction more than that single conscious choice.

And this. I mean, nuances of the translation of ‘genius’ AND the reincarnation of Bruce Lee in the same day?!?
