It's hard to change. Sure we talk about it, but we rarely do it, or we don't make it stick. We'll track the cigarettes we smoke and "try" to cut down – and ignore it when the number doesn't change for months. We try weight loss and organizational plans and all that and it doesn't work.
Yeah, you're probably nodding, if only in your own head.
Think of change as a skill as opposed to something you have to do.
The round up of convention ideas is here.
Below is a giant list of ideas for panels you can suggest or even do at your own convention to encourage people to use their hobbies in their jobs. Feel free to suggest more ideas, or note successful panel ideas you've pulled off that should be included!
Last week I noted that I was surprised to find out that there was development of a Warhammer 40K MMO . I recalled vaguely the past that there had been some development, but I'd completely forgotten about it. Of course as I looked back on it, I realized there had been so little news on it I'd pretty much forgotten about it or figured it was gone to Duke Nukem territory.
This is a big reminder to people working in or with the geekosphere: awareness. This applies to your business, your fannish products, and even yourself.
