These are my links for March 5th through March 6th:

• Eduwear – Children Designing Tangible and Wearable Computing for Playful Educational Purposes
• GameJS: A 2d game development framework in JavaScript – I then started thinking about how cool it would be to create games just as easily in JavaScript and decided to port the XNA Framework over to JavaScript using Canvas as the rendering device. I quickly had a lot of fun doing so, and learned much about the internals of game development by reverse-engineering the XNA API to JavaScript.

  I decided to name the framework GameJS, since I got alot of inspiration from the ExtJS source code. I have always been a fan of ExtJS and the way it is structured.

• New York Art – The World Cup Refigured in Deep Play – page 1 –
• Versus CluClu Land: The Game as Total Artwork –
• Dispositional and occurrent belief – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia – As with any reconception of ourselves, this view will have significant consequences. There are obvious consequences for philosophical views of the mind and for the methodology of research in cognitive science, but there will also be effects in the moral and social domains. It may be, for example, that in some cases interfering with someone's environment will have the same moral significance as interfering with their person. And if the view is taken seriously, certain forms of social activity might be reconceived as less akin to communication and action, and as more akin to thought. In any case, once the hegemony of skin and skull is usurped, we may be able to see ourselves more truly as creatures of the world.
