Yes, everything extremely hectic right now as a major project comes close to launch.<\/p>\n

The project is Oranges at Halftime: Rugby and the Kiwi Experience<\/a>, a travelling exhibition hitting the road around NZ on August 9. It’s going to be a fun attraction, using our national game to explore NZ social history. Nothing too serious, and plenty to interest anyone I reckon! Come see us on Facebook<\/a>, too…<\/p>\n

Also of significant note: the Ennies awards, the biggest awards in role-playing games, are up for vote now, and ICONS what I worked on is up for recognition in several categories. Nice one! So go vote<\/a> if you know one end of a D20 from the other. Several friends have work nominated in other categories, too. It’s a good-looking slate this year. Lots of cool stuff happening in RPG-land.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m loath to go two weeks without linky, so here are a few that have caught my eye. Only short ones because there is much work to be done!<\/p>\n

Stephen Judd wrote this excellent piece about the prevalence of antisemitism in NZ<\/a>. Since then there’s been a big flap about !1potential Mossad agents in the Christchurch earthquake!!1 – worth reading that chatter with this in mind. (Yes, Mossad have a painful track record of farming NZ passports for their agents. Yes, there were a few odd things about the actions of the Israelis who survived the quake. But.)<\/p>\n

Phil Hartman is only known in NZ via The Simpsons. His SNL audition is worth a watch…
