Misfit of Computer Science

My new business cards came in today. They foolishly let me fill out the order form without anyone checking before the cards were printed.

And, yes, I’m at a game lab even though I’m trying to work on play apart from games. I’ve got — shall we say — some leeway. Besides, if I can get away with these business cards, what else can I get away with, right?

I got to give my very first business card to Drew Davidson, director of Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment Technology Center. My advisor brought him in as part of a speaking series. Drew gave a great overview of the ETC and spoke on creativity’s need for constraints: “The Best Playground (with an Electric Fence).” I’m fairly certain he gets all kinds of cool points from his students.
