		<title>September 9: Expert Session on social media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I interrupt my regular blogging for a commercial message. Next week (September 9 in Amsterdam), I&#8217;ll do an Emerce Expert Session, or what some would call a workshop, on social media (in general) and the Obama 08 campaign&#8217;s use of social media (in particular). In an interactive setting we&#8217;ll talk about the latest trends in [...]]]></description>

I contributed a book chapter to an edited volume called “Professional playground: Alles over werken in de game-industrie”.

		<title>Series of interviews on military games and social media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During the weekend a story ran on e-sports for the NRC newspaper. I was interviewed and contributed the story&#8217;s title “Chess in 3D” (meaning to say, that playing fast paced first person shooters in an e-sports setting is much like playing chess on three boards at the same time in terms of complexity). The story [...]]]></description>

		<title>Radio 1 interview on Twitter hypes and hoaxes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I did a live interview for Radio 1&#8242;s NCRV afternoon show Lunch. I have been a guest before last March to talk about Second Life. This time we had a vivid conversation about the recent hoaxes on Twitter (particularly the &#8220;free money&#8221; incident which turned out to be a mere technological glitch, the rumor [...]]]></description>

		<title>NOS Radio and TV interview on game piracy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wednesday marked an important ruling by a Dutch judge who decided that selling &#8216;mod-chips&#8216; and flash cards, especially those for the Nintendo DS (so called R4 cards) and the Wii, is now illegal (and the web shops who sold the mod-chips have to pay the court costs). [N]Gamer&#8217;s Nik Wouters has more on the story [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bashers podcast and iPad review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As part of a special summer project, we did an extra Bashers podcast with (Dutch) Microsoft country manager Paul Naber. It turned out to be a very worthwhile conversation with the five of us talking about all things Xbox. Paul was very generous with his time and comments and I really enjoyed our discussion. Go [...]]]></description>

		<title>Contact minister Hirsch Ballin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[*update* (July 10) Democracy in action! Dutch member of parliament Tofik Dibi (of Groen Links) asked the minister of justice a series of (very spot on) questions. Our combined efforts (of gamers, academics and journalists) to argue for better media literacy among parents (and against censorship), seem to have made a difference! Read the questions [...]]]></description>

Still working on my PhD, progressing well, end date is set at Q4 of this year. In the meantime I did some miscellaneous writing/talking, listed below.

		<description><![CDATA[Been a bit quiet here, it was election season here in the Netherlands so I&#8217;ve been (just a little bit) busy with doing interviews on social politics (the convergence of social media and politics).

		<title>Read these essays on the Dutch higher education system</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Via Twitter I heard about two essays of University of Amsterdam colleague dr. Linda Duits. Both accounts are very (very!) familiar from my perspective as a lecturer at the UvA. Please do read them as they provide a painful insight in the day-to-day and long term institutional problems “we” (lecturers at Dutch universities) encounter. Some [...]]]></description>
