Pesco on augmented reality games

Over at our sponsor Intel's My Life Scoop site, I posted a short into to augmented reality games:

In 1901, Wonderful Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum published a short story called “The Master Key” in which the protagonist Rob has invented the “Character Marker,” electrical spectacles that overlay a letter on the foreheads of people to give a sense of their personality. At the end of the story, Rob reflects on his inventions and says that “It’s no fun being a century ahead of the times!” History is catching up with Rob.

  Yes, I wrote the headline in the third person because if you read the headline only (in various readers or on Twitter, for example) where you don’t see the byline, the word “I” or “Me” wouldn’t tell you anything.

  Beanolini is delighted to have discovered there’s a word for that.

  What about people who address people in the third person?
