My interview with Gamasutra on the challenges of fraud in MMO environments has somewhat gone viral.

I only got to touch on it, but the most interesting thing about this topic is the underlying economies. Though I hope to get a chance to address Romer's points more thoroughly about what economic growth really is, this podcast from Econtalk is a pretty good primer.

One of the most interesting effects I expect to see over time from the Heller decision is a change in how politicians have to respond to crime. Classically, more liberal politicians faced crime by calling for gun control. Now that that comes off the table, it will force the conversation to be much more about criminals and actual causes of crime. This article on project exile from the WSJ may be a start of that dawning realization.
