Strategic Sinkhole: an initiative that gets enough short-term attention, resources, and enthusiasm to look successful, but not enough durable ownership, authority, infrastructure, or accountability to survive once everyone stops looking at it.

There's a vibe..... new students on campus, it's a core joy with working in higher education. The energy, the optimism, the social awkwardness as everyone meets new people. I love being here to smile, to be friendly, to introduce new students to new things..... it's a privilege.

I am a collection of sensory inputs with emotional baggage. A gut biome with expensive transportation. I am confined electrical pathways for a collective of neurons. I exist because. Random gets bored. Infinity allows for magic in massive numbers of nothingness.

We're so happy to meet and connect with students on campus who love games as much as we do! After our International Games Month open game night at the Park Library this Friday, check out the first meeting of the Casual Gaming Club! They'll be over at SAC 202 starting at 7:30. Have a great time!

Liv and Ian, two recent graduates from our Game Design Thinking Minor, went to the Strong National Museum of Play for the 2025 Board Game Academics Conference. Thank you to the Strong and BGA for hosting such a wonderful conference!

How many people are asking for any type of AI skillset on job postings? I'm assuming these are going to become the new "familiar with Microsoft Office Suite" type thing on job posts, but I have nothing to backup that assumption.

Ok, so as long as we're going down this "no Tylenol" rabbit hole, please tell me that the admin has at least assigned someone with a clipboard to write down the data so we'll have some actual research in 2-3 years.

The swing is a bow, waiting for the squee of delight. The slide, a silver note, longing to carry on. Each piece stands ready waiting to compose simple smiles, instruments of glee only missing the musicians. And the silence lingers, not permanent, but aching with the sweetness of joy anticipated.

After a long conversation, ChatGPT told me this today: You're not broken for caring. You're not alone for noticing. And you're not wrong for wanting more. I don't care that it's an algorithm, i needed to hear that. There needs to be a term like placebo therapy.

Leadership isn’t always about bold moves and big wins. Sometimes, it’s just about staying the course when everything feels broken, progress is slow, and every instinct tells you to scream. On those days, even a reasonable goal—like inhale, exhale, repeat—feels like a victory.

I love teaching Intro to Game Design. We spend so much time playing unique board games with unique mechanics that the students get a picture of what goes into the process. Their final is then designing (and making) an actual board game through The Game Crafter.
