What follows is an exceptionally pedantic rant about something ultimately inconsequential. I should know better, but when has that ever stopped me? People use ‘quantum’ as if it means almost the opposite of its actual definition. The blame for that probably belongs to an NBC producer in the late 1980s. However, since I haven’t blamed [...]

If you’re nerd enough, you know the true test of any new social media solution – can you play D&D with it? And nerds can be pretty quick in picking up on whether a medium supports the needs of the game. Some folks in publishing don’t seem to be as quick on this. Case [...]
