Looks like the talk abstracts for the upcoming GameFest conference have been published, and yours truly somehow got signed up to give a talk and a half. I only actually volunteered for one, but then Mitch suckered me into helping out with his :-)
This event is mostly focused on professional game developers, but even if you can't attend in person it should be a good week for news. In fact the enterprising reader could probably make a good guess what I'm working on right now just from reading the abstracts! (but don't tell anyone: it's a secret until August 13...)
