MIT's Jenkins On Gamers, Youth Culture (GameSetWatch)
Great synopsis of MIT professor Henry Jenkin's SXSW keynote, where he offered an optimistic view of American youth... covering gaming, fan fiction and web communities. For example:

Why are those skills so underutilized in the workplaces we've constructed?"

That gets me right here.

Toon Zone Interviews Steve Purcell About "Sam & Max the Animated Series" (Toon Zone)
I don't get the running joke needling Purcell about "what IS Max?" He's a rabbit. He has ears like a rabbit. He has a tail like a rabbit. He's white, a common rabbit color. He is a rabbit.
