		<title>Crossing Over: How Alternate Reality Gaming Fulfilled a Childhood Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just over a year has passed since I discovered Alternate Reality Gaming, a genre of gaming and storytelling that allows me to not just read great tales but to live them.

		<title>They live in my head</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Work has been very busy for me the last couple of weeks as we rush toward yet another quarterly earnings period.  All I feel like doing at the end of the day is coming home to collapse and&#8230; play World of Warcraft. I don&#8217;t get to do much of that, but even 30-45 minutes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rethinking NaNoWriMo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I said last year would be my last year participating in NaNoWriMo.

		<title>The Metaurchins and the Game They Played</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ever since I discovered ARGs, I&#8217;ve spent more than a few moments lamenting that I wasn&#8217;t on board from the beginning.  There&#8217;s a super-strong, rich history to this genre, and it makes me sad that I missed such a huge, ground-breaking chunk of it.  I could almost kill myself for not paying attention [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christening the Virtual Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;Round about the tail end of 1994, a college freshman who had neither grown up with computers or even so much as taken a computer science course in high school found herself wandering aimlessly all over the Internet &#8211; and loving it.  From the very first moment I discovered that the computer I&#8217;d received [...]]]></description>
