An upcoming thing: I have been invited to participate in the University of Virginia Library's speaker series on digital scholarship. Nifty, eh? I will be giving a talk at UVA (Charlottesville) on April 22. I'm not sure of the exact location; I understand it's the "Digital Therapy" grad student luncheon series.
Game Genre and Game Interaction -- noon, April 22
This is not a huge sweeping tapestry of ludological theory; it's just my notes on what the heck we mean when we say "game genre". Show up if you want to hang out. There will be food, as befits a luncheon. Casual food, as befits grad students. If I know grad students, cookies are a good bet.
EDIT-ADD: It happened. Yay! See here for a link to the text.

Hey, Andrew, don't forget to post your notes after your talk, for those of us who won't have the chance to go to Virginia. :)

I will certainly be posting it (as an essay) after I get back.
I suppose this wrecks my chances of going on a speaking tour and giving the same talk over and over. :)
Cool... I went to U.Va., an spent many an hour in the Alderman library stacks.
