<p><em>Postscript:<br />
Sorry about the technical difficulties with the podcast. The video editing software I use doesn&#8217;t let me do edits to the second, and I&#8217;m still trying to figure out how to get both myself and the interviewer at the same sound level. Tim teases me about being in a black room (it was midnight for me!), and being close to the screen with bad lighting. What can I say, I&#8217;m an interactive drama cliche. I&#8217;ll have to increase the drama with a call to save the world or something. <img src='http://www.universecreation101.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, not quite &#8216;death&#8217; but an indefinite hiatus. I&#8217;m powering down this blog for a few reasons, one of which is my desire to finish my PhD. I&#8217;ve tried for the last year and a half to do PhD writing and work and this blog, but found the mindsets are somewhat incompatable. I&#8217;ve decided therefore to close this blog down. I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll bring it up again and if I do when, or whether I&#8217;ll start another one. But I do know that I have thoroughly enjoyed blogging here these past few years. I have especially enjoyed meeting many of you because of the blog, and seeing &#8216;cross-media&#8217; (etc) projects become ubiquitous. Thankfully, the area has alot more people looking at it now, from alot of different perspectives. Here are some blogs that will keep you informed:</p>
<ul>
<li><a target="_blank" href="http://transition.turbulence.org/blog/">Networked Performance</a>: research blog that posts about emerging network-enabled practice;</li>
<li>You can read and listen to news about alternate reality games and just about any online extension of a film, TV or book property on the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.argn.com/">ARGNet blog </a>and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.argnetcast.info/">ARG Netcast </a>(podcast);</li>
<li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.henryjenkins.org/">Henry Jenkins personal blog </a>and the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.convergenceculture.org/weblog/">Convergence Culture Consortium blog </a>has lots of goodies from a media studies perspective about &#8216;transmedia storytelling&#8217; and &#8216;convergence culture&#8217; in general;</li>
<li>DeMontfort University share their investigations into what they term &#8217;Transliteracy&#8217; at their <a target="_blank" href="http://www.hum.dmu.ac.uk/blogs/part/">PART blog</a>;</li>
<li>Jeff Gomez, the CEO of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.starlightrunner.com/">Starlight Runner </a>and longtime practitioner of &#8216;trans-media&#8217; projects, is now blogging regularly about his insights and experience over at the <a href="http://pganmc.blogspot.com/">Producers Guild of America blog</a>;</li>
<li><a target="_blank" href="http://crossmediacommunication.blogspot.com/">Monique de Haas blogs </a>about &#8216;crossmedia communication&#8217; occasionally;</li>
<li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.secretlair.com/index.php?/clickableculture/">Tony Walsh </a>posts semi-regularly on alternate reality games;</li>
<li>Valentina Rao blogs about crossmedia games and anything related to that at <a target="_blank" href="http://factorygirl.org/gamesacrossmedia/">Games Across Media</a>, and will hopefully be starting her PhD on the subject soon;</li>

<li>Max Giovognoli runs everything to do with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cross-media.it/">cross-media in Italy</a>;</li>
<li><a target="_blank" href="http://mobilecrossmedia.blogspot.com/">MobileCrossMedia</a> is a blog that looks at the different ways mobile phones can network with different devices and the real world;</li>
<li>If you don&#8217;t already get it, the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.jour.sc.edu/news/convergence/">Convergence Newsletter</a> has regular interesting newsletters about convergence in journalism and has been my favourite newsletter for the past few years;</li>
</ul>
<p>I don&#8217;t plan to be blogging here about events or publications I&#8217;m involved in, instead I&#8217;ll pop them on my <a target="_blank" href="http://www.christydena.com">bio site</a>. But for now, here are some events I&#8217;m involved with, in the not-too-distant-future:</p>
<ul>
<li>I&#8217;ll be on the &#8216;expert panel&#8217; with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.markmccrindle.com">Mark McCrindle </a>and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.digitalartists.tv/">Tim Flattery </a>at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mitchells.com.au/">Mitchell Communications Group </a>&#8216;s launch of &#8216;While You Weren&#8217;t Watching&#8217;, a documentary on changes to branded entertainment etc in which I was interviewed. The launch is private but the documentary will be put online I believe in Nov; </li>
<li>I have my own panel on &#8216;Designing, Experiencing and Analysing Games in the Age of Integration&#8217;, and I am a panelist in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.swinburne.edu.au/sbs/media/staff/tofts/tofts.htm">Darren Toft&#8217;s </a>panel on &#8216;What Happened to New Media Art?&#8217; at the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ie.rmit.edu.au/">Australasian Conference on Interactive Entertainment</a> in Dec;</li>
<li>I&#8217;ll be on the panel on &#8216;Cyber-Born Film&#8217; at Megan Spencer&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="http://www.destfest.com/">Destination Festival</a> (or DestFest) in Dec;</li>
<li>In Jan 08, I&#8217;ll be a guest lecturer again for Sue Thomas and Kate Pullinger&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="http://www.hum.dmu.ac.uk/blogs/cwnm/">Online MA in Creative Writing and New Media</a>, De Montfort University, UK;</li>
<li>In Feb 08, my essay on &#8216;Tiering in Alternate Reality Games&#8217; will be published in the special issue of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.luton.ac.uk/convergence">Convergence</a> edited by Henry Jenkins and Mark Deuze.</li>
</ul>
<p>For now though, I will continue to be online in a different way. I&#8217;ve started a podcast, a podcast where I&#8217;ll interview talented people working in this area. My &#8216;birth&#8217; podcast is a bit awkward, but the second is a great one: an interview with Stitch Media&#8217;s Evan Jones. At the site, I also provide sneak preview information about Stitch Media&#8217;s latest project.</p>

<p>That is it for me here, thankyou all for sharing this time with me. I&#8217;ll see you on the other side of my PhD.<br />
