I’m waiting for the snow to come to Chicago (we’re supposed to get like a foot overnight), and while I had hoped to write a blog post for you tonight, it’s just not happening. But in lieu of that, here’s an interview with me from a podcast called How I WoW (WoW being World of Warcraft, a videogame that I write about for WoW Insider).

I warn you (you being a person who’s interested in me and not necessarily in my work or videogames) that the talk gets nerdy at times, and there is a particularly obscure part about the WoW community, but in between all of that stuff, you can hear me talking fondly about the National Bowling Hall of Fame (which is a real place that I really do enjoy going), my first memories of videogames, and other philosophies I have about running communities and blogging in general.

I don’t know if you’re interested, but then again this is mikeschramm.com, so I assume that you came here to find out about me. So there you go.

And as I write this, the snow has descended on the Second City. I could see it coming — a fog over the rooftops from the south, first just hazy and then dotting out the rooftops with the white, cottony blanket. Even now I can see huge flakes of ice fall past my window down into the alley below, where a silent cover falls across the city like a blanket across a bed.

It’s pretty cool. Maybe I’ll go take some video and post it here later.
