Erudite academic and advocate for all things gaming, MIT Professor Henry Jenkins has started a blog titled "Confessions of an Aca/Fan: The Official Weblog of Henry Jenkins." Now you can finally trash all those unofficial Henry Jenkins fansites from your RSS feed, cause this one's official. With only a couple gaming posts -- like this one on games as branded entertainment -- there's still plenty for the interested nerd to uncover and look forward to.But the blog isn't supposed to be all about games, it's about his new book, Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide. We could try to condense what Prof. Jenkins is gonna be writing on his blog, but we'd only be doing a disservice to you, reader. So we'll just tease you into it: "Reduced to its most core elements, this book is about the relationship between three concepts - media convergence, participatory culture, and collective intelligence ...."

Indeed, I thought It was about Leeroy rather. Well, um, good for Henry I guess.

So much of his power is derived from the beard.

Sweet! I'll definately bookmark this. The gaming industry should be worshipping this guy for the free credibility he's giving them, while people like Hilary Clinton and Jack Thompson are trying to discredit them. Actually, I think game developers should pay attention to Jenkins' ideas; he's highly intelligent.
saboola, do you even know who this guy is?
