Well, I'm back from my vacation. I was rested and relaxed for about twenty minutes, and then I opened my e-mail: Apres une semaine, le deluge!
I saw the earlier post about libraries and gaming and thought I'd mention that this is going to be one of the major topics of conversation at the October meeting of the OCLC Members Council. We will host a discussion of the educational implications of gaming on Sunday night, and on Monday morning, three OCLC staffers who are serious gamers themselves will provide a demonstration. And by the way, did you all see the article in USA Today this week about the educational uses of games?
One of my favorite stops on our cruise was Grand Cayman Island, which was just gobsmacked by Tropical Storm Charley. (A colleague of mine in Tallahassee just e-mailed me that the National Weather Service really missed an opportunity by not naming this storm Clyde, so that we would have had a one-two punch of Bonnie and Clyde.) Anyway, on Grand Cayman, I stopped at the public library, which was quite busy at lunchtime last Monday, and which featured several PCs for public use. It's a historic building just behind the tourist strip that I happened upon quite by accident. If I can figure out how to upload the picture I took, I'll share it with y'all.

Who's doing the demo for the games discussion? I'd love to help out by showing some of the trends in serious gaming. There is a conference on the topic slated Oct 18 and 19 http://www.cmpevents.com/GDe04/a.asp?option=C
Just finished reading and consider the Pattern Rocognition Report. Understanding how gaming enables folks to actualize themselves and act as a force is a cool understanding. Related to this report is anyone talking to "users" or potential "users"? We do this a lot and it fills me with hope and certainty rather than a bunch of "oh, my goshes".
