Diversität in der Videospielbranche - Brauchen wir wirklich mehr Frauen und Minderheiten? Es gilt als eines der größten Probleme der Videospielbranche: Die Leute, die tatsächlich Videospiele spielen, werden weder in den Spielen noch in den Entwicklungsteams ausreichend repräsentiert, zugunsten eines Fokus auf junge, weiße Männer. Frauen und Minderheiten kommen dagegen zu kurz. Die Zahlen sprechen da doch eine deutliche Sprache, wie man am Exempel des Frauenanteils sehen kann. Und wenn man viele Meinungen und Editorials zu diesem Thema liest, könnte man meinen, dahinter stecke eine kolossale Ungerechtigkeit, ein System, das Frauen prinzipiell zurückhält. Frauen in der Entwicklung Das Problem, wenn man hier einfach nur laut "Ungerechtigkeit" schreit, ist aber, dass man dies kaum anhand der Zahl ausmachen kann, weil zu viele Aspekte zusammenkommen. Wie sieht es mit den Arbeitsbedingungen aus und wie vertragen sich diese zum Beispiel mit dem Konstrukt der Familie?

Home - Doug Johnson's Blue Skunk Blog Offbeat Tips for Being More Productive and Efficient at Work Productivity and efficiency are important to our work life.

Happy Birthday Author David Lynch picks five films for AFI Fest | 24 Frames | Los Angeles Times What do Ingmar Bergman's "Hour of the Wolf," Stanley Kubrick's "Lolita," Jacques Tati's "Mon Oncle," Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" and Billy Wilder's "Sunset Boulevard" have in common? They're the films chosen by filmmaker David Lynch for a special sidebar of AFI Fest 2010, which runs from Nov. 4 to 11. Lynch, director of "Blue Velvet, "Mulholland Drive" and "Inland Empire," is the festival's first-ever guest artistic director and himself an American Film Institute alumnus. In addition to the eclectic and unusual group of titles unveiled by Lynch on Monday, the sidebar also will include his debut feature, "Eraserhead," begun while he was at AFI and first released in 1976. "I love AFI. I owe them a lot, so much I can't tell you," Lynch said in a phone interview from his office in Los Angeles. Speaking about his selections, Lynch said, "When I was at AFI, they ran a lot of great pictures, and I got a chance to see some things that I probably wouldn't have been able to see. -- Mark Olsen
