Thanks, Josh, for the invitation to Notgames--the goings-on here look fascinating.
My name's Erik Loyer, I'm an interactive designer with longtime interests in combining storytelling, music, tactile interface, and aspects of games. I released an iPhone game about a year ago called "Ruben & Lullaby" -- an attempt to make a wordless story you could play like a musical instrument. More here:

Games, however, are not typically what I do--lately I've been developing a lot of projects for academia, and before that did some personal work that had connections to the Net.Art and e-lit worlds. You can get a sense of the range of these projects at my personal site:

These days I'm really interested in adaptations of the visual language of comics for interactive... especially as the burgeoning e-reader scene shows some interesting potential as a space where people are expecting variations on a
reading experience, rather than a
playing one, which could have happy implications for the things we like to make.
Looking forward to the discussions.
Cheers,
Erik
