Casting the Die

Starting Tuesday, you'll have yet another site to add to your bookmarks. On Tuesday, September 7, look for the launch of www.dieiscast.com (as of the morning of 9/3 you might get the beta pages or an error message, so don't click on the link expecting much).

The site is going to have a weblog by me with more functionality than this one, as well as lots of info on my creative activities. I've already got 10 or so reviews posted, some of them appearing online for the first time. I've got image galleries, advice for gamblers, and much more.

Why am I launching my own site after building gaming.unlv.edu for three years? It comes down to me having a lot to say that's not about gaming. I don't want to dilute this site with my reviews of fiction, movies, etc, so I plunked down the cash for my own domain name and server space and launched into Die is Cast.

If you're curious about the title or anything else, check the site out. It may be available over the weekend, but I'll be doing a lot of work on it, getting the weblog up and running and working out any problems.

I'm going to be doing a lot more stuff on gaming.unlv.edu in the coming weeks as well. We're still working on the Global Gaming Abstract, and I expect to make some of its contents available online.

Anyway, on Tuesday, September 3, when you get back from whatever Labor Day debauchery you get yourself into, check out www.dieiscast.com.

If anyone wants to help me promote this new site, email me.

hey dave.

they say if you miss a day, you miss a lot. and would you believe it's true? darn work interfering with my pursuits of personal betterment....

anyway, i'm looking forward to checking out the new site. i've been reading your Casino blog for some time now and must admit i've enjoyed it. something about the hip irreverence, i think. i've noticed you sneaking in little asides into your casino blog. it should be great to see what happens when you can give these asides proper release.

on a different note, i'll be in las vegas at the end of the month. i know that's of little relevance to you, but here's the connection: the only way i can get a copy of Suburban Xanadu is online, which means stupidly expensive shipping rates. i'm just sort of assuming there's a place in town i can pick up a copy, the UNLV bookstore for example. perhaps you can confirm my suspicion or point me in some appropriate direction.

but, it's that time again. reality calls....

Scribbler,

You can get a copy at the the Reading Room at Mandalay Bay (if you're already on the Strip) and most Borders and Barnes and Nobles in the Las Vegas Valley. If that fails, the UNLV bookstore should have some copies.

I'd be happy to sign it for you, as well. Email me if you want to arrange it.
