The Play Ethic

The Play Ethic first came to me as a phrase in the early nineties, in the midst of a rehearsal with my neo-jazz band, in a moment when our drummer re-described his own 'work ethic'. (A few minutes' activity with AltaVista - an early search engine - would confirm that the phrase was hardly original). But as soon as I heard it, I realised that it had enough capacity in it to serve as a headline bringing together a wide range of interests of mine - cultural, technological and political. - Pat Kane

Hello,

I found one interesting article about the future of games graphics. I have already posted the message on my blog, so I don't want to repeat myself. If you are interested, have a look at this.

Cheers,

Yo,

So I have my own Innovation blog which happens to be under the same title so that's a little confusing in my blog list, but my Earl is http://innoprofodev.blogspot.co.uk/

Just wrote a pretty hefty post on there about the future of publishers. Not very exciting from an innovation point of view, unless you consider the shifting business model preferences as an innovative move. I personally do, hence it being in that blog :-)
