[game_edu] game_edu Digest, Vol 117, Issue 6

[Warren E Spector]

Well, that's embarrassing - my blog site is, of course, warrenspector.wordpress.com.

A typo in my own blog address. Maybe I shouldn't be teaching!...

If you check out my blog, or send anyone to it, please use the correct address!

Warren

If any of you can help me with that - sharing information about the program with students, specifically, or telling me where I can do that, I'd certainly appreciate it. (FWIW, if anyone's willing to pay my way, I'll trade visits/talks for access to graduating seniors or grad students...)
