I came across this when I was checking if my CNN phone interview came to anything.

It seems I was quoted (if you look carefully), though I don't remember saying those exact words :-) When will I learn not to talk to the press. Interesting technology but I'm not sure it would have much to offer as a "brain controller".

iPhone is the key to a "virtual goldmine".
http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/09/indie-developer.html
"The iPhone is a revolutionary handset. But it is also the key to a virtual gold mine -- the iTunes App Store, where independent developers can become multimillionaires in just a year."
The iPhone definitely appears to be an extremely viable platform for commercial indie development. I find myself constantly checking the app store on a daily basis to see what new useful or stupidly fun applications have been released, and have no hesitation in buying applications (a lot of which cost a mere 59p). With thousands of people round the world doing the same thing, its not hard to see how these small priced apps can rake in the money for indie developers.
The iPhone SDK costs $99 to license and requires an Apple Mac to develop on. So... Who wants to buy me a mac? I'll pay you back once I've made my millions, I promise?

Can lecturers work in the real world?
Do they want to? :-)
Seriously though, congratulations to my old mate Stephen Mcglinchey who has just got a job with Eurocom as a core graphics programmer - http://www.eurocom.co.uk/. All he needed to do was get a good degree in Computing, complete a PhD in neural networks, lecture for around seven years in game development, and develop a skill in PS2 low level programming!
Lecturers can work in the real world :-) and its possible for PhD students to get a job in the games industry if they really want to.

New personal websites
Its been a while since I've had a personal website on the net - I've been busy :-) But, I've finally got round to doing something about that and I now have two personal work related websites!
http://www.darrylcharles.com will act as a kind of online business card and will hold details on my current work.
I will maintain http://play2learn2play.com/ as my blog site and this will hold more topical information on serious games and game AI research.
Not much on these sites yet, but I'm only getting started.
