The second day of the Serious Games Summit was no less engaging than
the first, though mercifully a bit briefer. (My brain was pretty much
full by the end of yesterday, and a decent night’s sleep didn’t
totally solve that problem.) Here are a summary of the sessions I
attended, and what I got out of them:

The first day of the Serious Games Summit was quite interesting,
instructive, and (for me, at least) exciting. A few general notes
first, and then into the meat of the day:
There seems to be a general excitement over this field. This is the
second year for the conference; it’s evidently much bigger this year

Alright, I’m harping on commercialism in religion again. My apologies to those of you who don’t find this as absurdly amusing as I do.
Today’s installment: the iBelieve, a replacement cap for your iPod Shuffle that transforms it into an ostentatious white cross. That’s all class, baby! Remember kids, if it doesn’t have a cross or [...]

I find it intensely difficult to square this sort of thing with the idea that we Christians hold that God is omnipotent [...]
We enjoyed a superb celebration of Maggie’s fifth birthday this past weekend. Thanks to all the friends and family who helped make that a delight; it’s a remarkable thing to be surrounded by so many supportive people, and we are deeply and daily grateful for it.
Daniel and Fanny came back to Texas to attend his [...]
Do you use Windows? Then take a peek at this auction. It’s a pile of Windows software that Seth auctioned off to benefit cancer research. While I was happy to bid on it for The Noble Cause, I suspect that other people might get a good deal more use out of some of these items [...]
I’m not crazy about the part of the year when school’s in session.

(A note to Emily’s teachers: ease up on the [...]
