Our long-lost editor Gonzalo reports that he successfully defended his dissertation yesterday at IT University Copenhagen. Pictures here.

Not surprisingly, Gonzalo's thesis was on play and rhetoric, but he takes a quite different tack than I did in Persuasive Games, focusing on play instead of procedurality. It's a significant contribution, we'll have to wait for Gonzalo's word on when and in what form it will be available.

Congrats Gonzalo! Now about your blogging duties...
