The Ignite format gives ... http://webcraftstudios.com/blog/2008/08/12/webcraft-coming-to-ignitedenver/ Back in April, I defined the term Digital Theatrics.

Gee, that went quick. I'm on the same laptop I wrote my original post on a year ago. I'm still running Ubuntu Linux. We're 1.5 months into our first campaign.

However, eventually someone would need to access ... http://webcraftstudios.com/blog/2008/04/28/google-apps-review/ In a previous post, I mentioned a "genre of services" I would like Webcraft Studios to perform. Tonight, I'm ready to announce the first of those services. I call it Digital Theatrics. Digital theatrics is the art of weaving a digital story in a virtual medium through social role playing. Social ... http://webcraftstudios.com/blog/2008/04/15/what-is-digital-theatrics/ A little while back, I posted about Citibank's poor linux support.
