  The HUMlab blog: The other article that we read for the meeting is written by Bryan Alexander, who among other things discusses how also research changes with mobile technology, and as an example of this he mentions the Moblogging Jokkmokk Project which we carried out last year. The advantages with this use of mobile technology are manifold, and in our discussion we came up with a few different ideas for how something like this could be done with language learning in focus. For instance, a group of students (or teachers) could go to a country in which the target language is spoken and via mobile technology they could report back to the rest of the class.

Allen's Blog: “Other” motivations vary, but here’s one example.  Like all human beings (including entrepreneurs), VC’s have egos.  The human ego is not, shall we say, always at it’s best in a “competitive” situation like a VC meeting where there is a premium on being (or appearing) “smart” in front of a bunch of other smart people (including the entrepreneur).  (For more on this, see Commandment #3: Know Your Audience.)  You will, on occasion, run into someone in a VC meeting, who seems dead-set on pursuing a line of questioning that shows how much the questioner knows, but is a side-show to the main event: your business presentation.  There are others, as well.  For your purposes, however, questions derived from all “other” motivation are similar - they are a distraction and you need to deal with them, and move on, so you get through your presentation (See all prior Commandments).

USC Interactive Media Division Weblog: Female computer game designers, programmers, and producers are as rare as female game players: About 10 percent of gaming industry professionals are women, and most of them hold jobs in customer service, quality assurance, and marketing, according to informal estimates. Ion Storm executive producer and longtime gamer Denise Fulton observes that a major obstacle to women's pursuit of gaming industry careers is gaming's reputation "as a boy thing." Harvey Mudd College computer science professor Elizabeth Sweedyk, who is designing a female-oriented game design course with a $200,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, thinks that women find computer games unappealing for the most part. At last month's Women's Game Conference in Austin, a common complaint against games in general was graphic violence and sexually suggestive depictions of female characters, while some attendees expressed a desire for games with more immersive story lines and more relatable characters.
