Daniel “The Commodore” Cordaro (ding-ding) is the co-founder of the Clan of the Gray Wolf which is dedicated to thoughtful discussion of all aspects of geek culture. His Master’s thesis from the University of North Carolina focused on representations of gender in contemporary videogames and is published in the Library of Congress – although if he were to write one today, it would probably just be about Minecraft.

He has also instructed college courses in game design and management. When not indulging in his more geeky interests, he’s also a singer, a philosophy buff, and a connoisseur of delicious breakfast cereals.
