Here's something for you to read

Ah, so you've noticed? These months, my blog is fast approaching a state of torpor, in a trajectory that suspiciously follows the decline of the western civilization. (I am, of course, thinking about the state of the financial markets, not the choice of running mate of the republican presidentially hopeful.) As you may or may not know, right now, I'm in the final race to finish my PhD; as well as handling a few hundred other things at the same time.

To amuse, you while I'm labouring, here's a few blogs, which I can heartily recommend (does it show, that I'm an old gamer, who only has time to read about games, now-a-days?):

  • Teahouse on the Tracks, personal blog of sci-fi novellist, Alastair Reynolds.

  • supertroels.dk, personal blog of Troels Abrahamsen, singer in Veto (who I have ranted about before elsewhere), and independent musician and producer.

  • Opinionated techie, personal blog of Brad Wardell, nerd, famed (in computer game-circles) owner of Stardock, creator of several critically acclaimed games, such as the Galactic Civilizations series, and glowing republican, it seems.

  • Flash of Steel, personal blog of Troy S. Goodfellow (fantastic name!), a most eloquent games journalist, with a particular interest in historical strategy games.

  • Rock, Paper, Shotgun, the combined blog (clog?) of four splendid British games journalists, Jim Rossignol, Kieron Gillen, John Walker, and Alec Meer. This blog alone, has induced more laugh-aloud moments, than any other website. I recommend it, if you have even a passing interest in computer games.

  • Bodil Bierings blog at Version2 (in Danish), friend and self-proclaimed IT-provocateuse.


That should be enough for a few days. Now run along.
