Back from Mobile Monday...

Amsterdam. Ahhhh, Amsterdam! After more than 30 years, I returned to the Netherlands. I was a guest speaker at Mobile Monday Amsterdam (#momoams), which was one of the best conferences I have been to in a very long time.

Before I start blogging too much about my trip, there are a few things I want to say, clarify, restate, or answer that I didn’t have a good opportunity to do while I was there. Here they are, in no particular order:

Tech Talk at Virginia Tech

I was invited by the ACM Club at Virginia Tech to be a guest speaker at one of their “Tech Talks” last night.

I was pleasantly surprised by the students and the questions they asked. Very smart bunch and friendly. The campus itself was gorgeous as well. If I ever went back to school, I think that Virginia Tech would find itself at the top of my list for where I’d want to go.

I’m planning on keeping in touch with some of the students, at least the ones that talked to me afterwards and gave me their email address. I hope they take my advice and get a profile up on LinkedIn and start networking as much as they can. It will pay off for them down the road as they advance their careers.

Thank you for having me guys, I had a good time and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

DGExpo

I’m going to be a guest speaker at the DGExpo this weekend here in Raleigh. I’ll be on the panel about MMORPGs. Should be fun, interesting, and maybe a little controversial! Say hello if you see me there.

Wake Tech Guest Speaker: Game Design Class

I had the opportunity to speak to the Students in the Game Design/Development degree program at Wake Tech here in North Carolina. I wanted to thank Walter Rotenberry and Wake Tech for the invitation and the opportunity to speak to the students. They asked a lot of very good questions at the end of the class, and I enjoyed chatting with a half dozen or so of them in their new development lab later in the day.
