Putting the final touches on my talk for Tuesday. Come check it out for free: events.aarp.org/event/2dec755e…


Funny to see people being surprised at @AARP being at #GDC23, but the reality is that the 50+ year-old market is enormous and eager to play your game. (Yes, that one.) If that is news to you, you should attend the free AARP Game Summit on 4/18: lnkd.in/eSxV4wq7. #GDC2023


I am not paying to keep my verified status. If that means less spam bots adding me to their spam messages, then that is just the price I will have to pay.

I went deep on how online word games have become a means of human connection, and also got answers to your burning Spelling Bee questions straight from @thegridkid himself. expmag.com/2022/05/how-wo…

How Wordle brought us back together

Spelling Bee, too, and Words With Friends. Who knew online word games would get us talking to each other again?
