		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I decided to convert Wordner, a silly card game that I created, into an online format. Besides the obvious technical challenges of coding it, I realized that I would need to choose between a synchronous or an asynchronous design. Here&#8217;s why I chose synchronous. Just to back up quickly, gaming has traditionally been a<a href="http://www.andrewhagenbuch.com/blog/2012/04/28/creating-online-games-synchronous-asynchronous-design/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

Children are quite familiar with this. They build and experiment with such ease. Yet, as we grow older, some of this is lost.

They&#8217;re artificial, concrete covered landscapes dotted with parks to cultivate plants and zoos to exhibit animals.

In the clip, a one year old child is shown playing with an iPad. She swipes, clicks, and gestures, though it is clear that she is more captivated by the moving screen than fully aware of what<a href="http://www.andrewhagenbuch.com/blog/2011/10/16/video-child-plays-with-ipad-and-magazine-thinks-magazine-is-broken/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

It&#8217;s hard to imagine, but before there was the venerable piano, everyone played the harpsichord. Actually, they played a whole group of similar instruments, including the virginal, spinet, clavicytherium, ottavino, and clavichord.

It&#8217;s meant to mimic the physical world. You meet with a group of people and begin talking about a topic. The great thing about the internet is that conversations can happen asynchronously.
