It’s not something that a lot of people are into… yet – but while I loathe having to go outside and hang up lights for Christmas, or setting up and trimming the tree, I get much joy from decorating my various online profiles in tune with the holidays. I don’t recall exactly where this whole […]

A GameDev.net Collection
December 17th, 2008 · 8 Comments · GameDev.net, Personal
For the past year I’ve been fortunate to be involved with the folks from Cengage Learning in working on a book series that has collected dozens of GameDev.net articles into 4 books for mass-market publishing. We at GDNet have know the Cengage folks for several years already, but this was my first chance to work […]
Back to the Track – with video!

For the third time I paid a visit to Raceway Park, which is only about 30 minutes north of me. $24 and you get at least three timed runs down the 1/4 drag strip that they have (along with pretty much every other type of race course). The last time I was there they actually […]
Deer: 1, Vehicle: 1
October 15th, 2008 · No Comments · Personal
So me and my car had a little run-in with a deer tonight driving home from Denny’s. I swear, they need to ease up on the hunting bans again cause deer are just getting a little too prolific these days and are posing more and more danger to drivers. On my way out to hang […]

So after I noticed the Facebook staus of one of my game developer friends up in NYC saying ‘Looking for VO talent’, my first question to him was ‘are you going through an agancy?’ I have no doubt that there are plenty in NYC, but I also knew he was a small indie developer and […]

An interesting error
October 1st, 2008 · No Comments · Blade Edge, Personal
This just needed to be shared, although I think I’ve seen this before somewhere else on the internets. This popped up when I told FireFox to open up the folder a downloaded file was in – Windows Explorer pops up and then the error box. Everything seems to be working fine still 😛 On a […]
Good times in Austin
September 22nd, 2008 · No Comments · Personal
So I got back from Austin this past Friday evening, the flight out was uneventful, although the flight down to Austin was slightly inconvenient. I do want to make note though of an interesting fact: The flight down, which occurred at around 4pm, served us beverages but no meals. The flight back, which occurred at […]

Heading out to Austin
September 13th, 2008 · No Comments · Personal
Next week I’ll be in Austin, TX, attending the Austin Game Developers Conference on behalf of GDNet. It’s the first in a string of conferences that continue until ION in May, after which I enjoy a nice 4 months of not traveling before the conference season (mine, at least) kicks off again. This will be […]
New puppy in the house!
September 6th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Personal
Today we got a new family member, Nuri, a pure golden retreiver. Apparently the name is Arabic and means ‘typhoon’. Oh boy. Nuri is our 7th CCI puppy, a program whereby people raise puppies bred to become service dogs that are assigned to handicapped people to do things like pick stuff off the floor, open […]

Bats in the belfry?
September 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · Personal
I get a rather frantic call from my mom downstairs as I’m sitting in my room at the computer. Actually, I had just sat down after emptying my pockets and taking off my shoes since I had just come home from work – so a flash of irritation shot through me for a second – […]
