what is this?

Nouns verbing is a virtual workplace created by a group of freelancers who missed the social/collaborative aspects of working in an office. It may also include traditional office-working types who want an online home base while they're at work. The only requirement is that they participate.

We use the nouns verbing website to socialize, encourage each other, problem solve and generally keep ourselves motivated. The same kinds of things everyone gets from sitting next to really great coworkers.

The icons by our names show our status - in the office, away from the office, etc. You can also AIM with us by clicking on those icons.

Thanks for dropping by!

post-conference recovery and catch-up

I'm glad I went to the Austin Game Developers Conference last week. I really am. I got to hang out with good friends, got to see the current state of the art in game writing, got to represent the trade organization (IGDA) I do a lot of volunteer work for, and apparently I perfected my "elevator speech" of who I am and what I do. I did some valuable networking, too. One person even said, "Someone should do a bio piece on you for some magazine. You have a really interesting story."

That got me to thinking why that hasn't happened. One reason it hasn't happened is that I sometimes work as press. And in the press, it's sort of bad form to go around interviewing each other (after you graduate from journalism school).

So that got me thinking more. Maybe I should be the one to write the piece anyway. Hmm. I guess I'll add it to my list of things to do. Somehow that gets longer and longer every day even though I'm working harder and harder at crossing things off.
