On More or Less Permanent Hiatus

Well, after another brief shpurt of blogging, I’ve decided to kind of suspend things on DJI in more or less permanent hiatus.   The reason?  Not that I don’t have anything in particular to say (which I do, at times), so expect the odd post in an irregular fashion.

Speaking of Accidental Tweets …

Speaking of careless tweets: unintentional, accidental, pre-maturely scheduled, or actually intentional?
EA’s UK PR team just tweeted an announcement that Command & Conquer 4 is now in development, though the linked press release doesn’t seem to exist yet. This seems to us like the result of an itchy trigger (or tweeter) finger. With recent online surveys asking what [...]
