While on the plane to Sweden(or was it on one of the many trains I rode today to get back and forth from my guestlecture at Sødertørn University College), I was think how I have reverted to "postfacto" blogging rather than "proactive" blogging. (Meadows in Pause and Effect talks to Raph Koster who comes up with the nice term "post-facto" story telling to describe what is going on narratively in MMOGs, "proactive" is just one of those management buzz words) - ie I blog after things have happened, rather than before, or during...mostly. Could one categorise blogs, this way I wonder? Anyway, the point of partly using this blog as a branding tool goes awry, when I post about events where people can see me, after I've gone home again ;).

Anyway, belated blogging, because Im busy, this May Im supervising an insane amount of students (May is ITU's dedicated project writing period) and doing quite a few out-of-the-house activities too, running behind to fit them in. But as said, went to Sweden for guest lecture, talked to same very nice Swedish reseachers working there, who had lots of good comments to my death-stories project, as did the students (as per usual :)). Here is my slides, ver 4.0 of the death-stories talk, with more stuff added, due to the now 37 responses to the survey, providing some very interesting material. Beware a
big file (14+MB even in pdf because of the high-resolution screenshots). Will be removed in a week.
