RIP to The Rebuilding Exchange. We will never see your like again.

I was thrilled to be a guest on the Hanselminutes podcast with @scott.hanselman.com ! hanselminutes.com/1019/the-gam... We chatted about edu-games design and my new book The Game Designer's Workbook :)

I'd love to see a time series graph in answer to the question "When Americans say 'foreigner' who are they talking about?"

"midwit" is autological

finally all caught up on book orders from my webstore :) if there’s a kid in your life who could use a lesson on worker power and labor history, take a peep! www.kim-kelly.com

For those that left #gamedev to do something else: What was the tipping point? What did you go on to do? Any other insights to share? Reskeets welcome and appreciated!

Last season of Game Changer, we did a cool activation with LinkedIn in which they helped us give Jacob a prize of $100,000. This season, I have a similar opportunity for the right brand willing to give us $50,000+ worth of their product. Hit me up ASAP if you're interested!

Is there anything more galling than autocomplete changing something you wrote and then grammar check pointing out that it is wrong?

Wait, are the Bulls good again?

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy. Not a selfie.

I wonder how many startups' business plans boil down to "kiss the Chinese Government's ass really hard"
