Interesting Works
Our blog is now active! Huzzah!
I thought a good way to start would be to add some information that people may find interesting and/or inspiring about some apps and games we discussed at our first meeting.
Alice for the iPad

Gizmodo Article – The Cleverest iPad Book Yet
http://gizmodo.com/5515612/the-cleverest-ipad-book-yet
This app gathered a considerable amount of attention and began to explore new ways of reading and consuming content. And they even used public domain material to do it!
The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross

iLounge Article – (Scroll down to about half way down the page)

Some consider it the next evolutionary step for Books on the iPad device - it still amazing to see how quickly things are released that are considered “evolutionary steps”.
Sleep is Death – PC Game
Jason Rohrer Main Site

Link above to Jason Rohrer main page explores many of his experiments and endeavours in game design, including Passage, another game we briefly touched upon at our meeting. Many experiments are free for you to download and explore.
I could probably go on… but I turn the floor to the rest of the group. Does anyone else have something they find interesting and inspiring in the interactive digital world that they would like to share?
Here's the keynote speech given by Theodore Gray who created The Elements - love what he says about their guiding principals in creating this app. Also can't wait for their upcoming app on The Waste Land by TS Elliot previewed here.
