		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals decided that Dungeons &#38; Dragons presented a &#8220;threat&#8221; to prison security. Kevin T. Singer, an inmate at Wisconsin&#8217;s Waupun Correctional Institution, was so devoted that it raised concern among the guards.

Right now, I&#8217;m preparing the syllabus for the fall semester and persuading industry folk to come out and talk to my students. I&#8217;m also be meeting the NYU Game Center&#8217;s interim director Frank Lantz to discuss a few extra-curricular activities.
Comments on the syllabus are appreciated, of course.
