I really feel like I'm overstepping my bounds here.
I said as much in the email I sent to
Jane McGonigal, but I was paging through Afrigadget and Poptech (I
really liked
Derek Lomas's
Playpower Foundation - I may be looking into what I can do to help out there too, before long) and others, it occurred to me that I'd already been inspired by someone doing - not exactly what I have in mind, but close.
Jane McGonigal's
TED Talk was the first one I'd seen (aside from
Aubrey DeGray's - which only led me to maintain my vegan eating habits and hope/ plan for life after 100) that led me to action. I looked up World Without Oil - which led me to Evoke - which led me to taking action. Any action, even these little baby steps.
The ideas I have, the things I think I can do, line up with what's going on in these games. I'm hoping I can accomplish what's brewing in my festering brain pan without clutching too tightly to the shirttails here. If I could do anything, however, that was compared with the work of Ms. McGonigal and her contemporaries, I would be proud.
I'm already active on Twitter and Facebook (djasonwright will get you there); so I became a fan and started following her there. I also added
blog.avantgame.com to my RSS Feed and sent an email to say thanks for the inspiration (probably the 487th such that she's received).
