This is just an introduction to who I am so if you already know me you probably want to move on...nothing to see here.
I already have a blog I've invested quite a bit of time in over at http://gamelayerz.posterous.com but I am having some headaches with the formating. Every time I cut and paste I seem to end up messing up character spacing and paragraph setups and correcting them seems to be beyond my current simple coding knowledge. I can see the tags in the html but despite changing them or even stripping them out I still seem to end up with a messy looking post.
Given I am often cutting and pasting from G+ comments or posts that I have made I thought perhaps blogger might have a better integration. If not now then perhaps as the features on G+ continue to rollout.
My name is Craig Velenski.
I consider myself somewhat of a #renaissance man in that I am passionate and interested in a wide variety of topics. My curiosity seems almost limitless and I can get lost for hours, much to my wife's sometimes frustration, researching topics I find engaging.
The nice thing for you is that hopefully makes me somewhat of a content aggregation system for you. If I am posting on something it will be pretty well researched although I almost never quote sources. I just don't have the discipline to record 30 or 40 websites or all the books I've read on topics.
I'm doing some experimentation in the field of #gamification and applied game mechanics using friends, family, and myself. But most of the other content will be me analyzing other peoples experiments and results and opinions and then questioning the underlying data to see if I concur. I'm not creating much in the form of brand new knowledge although some of my conclusions are often different than the mass views you can find online.
My posts are often long. I hope to improve the relevance over time but putting a high level summary of the points at the top of every post. That way the audience can decide at a glance if they want to read the detail.
Anyway I hope you come back and I hope you find value in what I post.
