7 1/2 OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE SHORTEST FOUR-LETTER WORD IN GAMES
LANGUAGE: ENGLISH
When players enjoy a game, they say, “That was fun!” When designers make, journalists review, or academics theorize about a game, the word fun rarely comes up. A word so commonplace as to sound meaningless and typically ignored, “fun" remains unmentioned by those who make and write about games. This talk looks beyond game development, game journalism and game studies for ideas to help us better understand the role of fun in games and beyond. Drawing on fields as diverse as cognitive psychology, anthropology, cultural theory, the philosophy of art, and sociology, Sharp explores the power and potential of fun as useful concept and tool for experiencing, thinking about, and understanding play.

7 OSSERVAZIONI E 1/2 SULLA PAROLA DI QUATTRO LETTERE PIÙ CORTA NEI GIOCHI
Quando un giocatore s’imbatte in un’esperienza ludica particolarmente avvincente, spesso esclama: "Wow, è veramente divertente!". Eppure designer, giornalisti e accademici raramente utilizzano il termine “divertimento” per riferisi ai videogiochi. Questo sostantivo è così vago e generico che persino chi sviluppa o scrive di videogiochi tende a ignorarlo. Beninteso, il fenomeno non riguarda solo game design, giornalismo e game studies, ma la cultura in quanto tale. In un avvincente excursus che attinge a piene mani dalla psicologia cognitiva, dall'antropologia, dalla teoria culturale, dalla filosofia dell'arte e alla sociologia - Sharp esplora il potenziale del divertimento per ripensare l’attività del giocare.
John Sharp è un designer, storico dell'arte, curatore ed educatore con trent'anni di esperienza nello sviluppo e nello studio dell'arte e del design. La sua ricerca si concentra sui videogiochi culturali, artistici e analogici, con particolare attenzione all'estetica videoludica, i processi creativi e le intersezioni tra estetica ed etica.

UNICODE 5.1.0 meets Or-Omcode∞.1.0
Unicode represents the Tower ob Babel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel In computing, Unicode is an industry standard allowing computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's writing systems. Developed in tandem with the Universal Character Set standard and published in book form as The Unicode Standard, Unicode consists of a repertoire of more than 100,000 characters, a set of code charts for visual reference, an encoding methodology and set of standard character encodings, an enumeration of character properties such as upper and lower case, a set of reference data computer files, and a number of related items, such as character properties, rules for normalization, decomposition, collation, rendering and bidirectional display order (for the correct display of text containing both right-to-left scripts, such as Arabic or Hebrew, and left-to-right scripts). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UniCode

Strolling along the street after supper, we saw this delightful "Chinglish" sigh that made absolutely no sense.... Is it a Language school or a coffee shop?

Sooo, I've basically given up trying to take any sort of interesting or arty pictures and am just going to document the detritus that seems to accumulate in my life. I like this idea for sundry reasons, namely it's easier and I'll feel better when my pictures invariably end up looking like crap.
Anyway, I picked this pin up at the illustrious Books Galore (definitely the best comic book store in Erie, PA). And I took it's picture while places on my somewhat garishly colored History of the English Language Book. My mother would like it to be known that she is, emphatically, not jivin' me.

This is the American Sign Language sigh for the word "help". Thumb up on the flat hand and raised in an upward motion. I got the blur in-camera and it only took three tries.
And that goes with the literal meaning of today's theme in We're Here!. And, as you can see, I actually do own other purple stuff. But it's still sorta new, that's why I forgot it yesterday.

technology + art + love = ? leads us into the spaces that explore what it is to love and to express love, longing, lust. New innovations in technology both enhance communication and some argue isolate us further, yet in the midst of our crazy, complicated, busy lives we still create room for communicating love and lust, for touching and being touched, for being present and together. The emotions that make us so strongly human drive the need for our connection and mutual recognition and new forms can amplify old emotions in surprising ways.
This is a love story….

Paris has a number of English-language bookshops. Without wishing to belittle the useful service provided by W. H. Smith's branch in the Rue de Rivoli, much the most interesting is Shakespeare & Co., at 37 Rue de Bucherie, on the Left Bank, dead opposite Notre Dame. Its stock is secondhand. I believe the shop is owned by the family of Walt Whitman. The three books I bought on the day of this photograph, Friday 8th April 1994, were all stamped inside the front cover, "Sylvia Beech Whitman Foundation".
