OK, so I've made the plunge and transferred my web site over to a blog. Now I am totally cool. I only made the front page look cool, I figure that if anyone actually want to read my papers they will do like I do and print them out, so I will leave teh html generic for my papers. The old front page can be found here for those who like old non-updated web pages.

That paper was presented at the 2002 PCA under the title "More Than Moving Pictures: Developing New Criteria For Designing and Critiquing Computer Games. The presentation version can be found here. The handout I distributed can be found here.
