Good news, everyone!
But seriously - look:
- I did a presentation about Math Trek at the Circle on the Road conference, where leaders of circles and clubs gather every year. It generated a good amount of interest, and follow-up at the group's email list.
- Math Trek gathered most votes "to develop now" at the Math Game Design online group where I participate, so we will go ahead and develop better software for playing it
- Laura Combs and I are writing a mini-grant to support running Math Trek this Fall and possibly making some software to make playing it easier.
- I am working with a packaging company to make a small book about Math Trek
So, since the weather is cold - let us stay home tomorrow, have a little "tag party" and by noon catch up on uploading our photographs (and fib poems!) to the group. This will help with all of the above developments.
All the quests, including tags, are here:

As you do it, please think of the question: "What step of the game can be easier or better with better software?" I will ask you when we next meet.
I will be there to answer your questions tomorrow 10-12am, by phone
