		<description><![CDATA[In response to a couple of blog posts, Growing Up Games and Games vs Art, I feel compelled to respond with my own perspective about how to evaluate Computer Games as Art. Computer Games is a medium that is criticized for being immature and adolescent. Games are seen as being full of violence, escapism, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is truly stunning. Software developers are releasing games and applications on the iPhone platform for $0.99 and despite the low price their games are still pirated. Developers are finding evidence that 90% of their games are being played without being paid for. The same thing appears to be happening in the music, movie, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a discussion with a friend about musical talent. We both love music and discussed why we never ended up playing it. We arrived at different conclusions about why this happened. For me, I remember making a conscious decision when I was about 17 years old to give up on playing music. I loved [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Ecology of Art was inspired by some excellent articles that I believe summarize the Art of Art Criticism. J.P. Simmon (link lost) wrote: &#8220;Music &#8211; is not an ethical realm, but a realm of feeling. It not about ethics (right and wrong) but about how one experiences something. Even shock rock is offensive to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does Art have to be controversial to be real Art? When does Art slip into Performance and Entertainment? When does Criticism become irrelevant? The purpose of these questions is to tease out answers that hopefully will lead to a better understanding of Art. As long as there has been Artists there have been Critics. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A brilliant flash presentation that skillfully and comically educates how we arrived in our state of financial crisis. Many people will simply say that we go here due to greed. But seeing how the greed reached such levels of sophistication and complexity is fascinating.

		<description><![CDATA[I stumbled on this old article Why Sci-Fi is the Last Bastillion of Philosophical Writing from Wired (yeah, I am a slow reader). It summarizes my own conviction that works of Science Fiction (and I would add Fantasy) are the forefront of philosophical thinking. After all, how best to demonstrate what are possible realities than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somebody shared with me some visual illusions. I have included one below. It is fascinating how when we stare at the center of a circle or at the periphery of the image, the middle of each circle looks as as if it is rotating. The problem is that it isn&#8217;t. Our eyes interprets the color [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being an avid fan of fiction in its fantasy and futuristic forms as found in books, movies, and games, I have found lots of fiction which is generic and formulaic. Its a problem because I find myself buying products because of its imagery and presentation and not because of its quality. I have spent lots [...]]]></description>
