This past weekend I had the chance to meet Dr. Michio Kaku, acclaimed theoretical physicist and author of several great books on physics and the future of our world. I’ve been a fan of his since I was a kid and read his book Visions, which I think I snatched off my grandfather’s shelf visiting […]

Roadtrip Review: Scenic Raleigh Drive
April 14th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Personal
View Scenic Raleigh 2010 in a larger map After successfully navigating my way up to Boston via a predetermined route I chose myself, I decided to go bigger for a trip down to Raleigh, North Carolina to attend the Triangle Game Conference. In looking for roads for my drive up to Boston, the Wikipedia page […]

Roadtrip Review: Scenic Boston Drive
March 30th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Personal
View Boston Roadtrip 2010 in a larger map I’ve traveled by car to many a place over the years, and for the most part I do so by simply plugging the destination into some form of GPS (whether it be my iPhone or separate Garmin unit) and following the route it spits back at me, […]

So I had a pretty great weekend prior to GDC this year, thanks to having to take a trip up to Sonoma to visit my family out on the west coast. I have 4 cousins, an aunt and an uncle all living around the San Fran area and usually one of them picks me up […]

Desktop goes KABLOOIE!!
March 16th, 2010 · No Comments · Personal
If the title of this post looks familiar, that’s because back at the start of the month I posted about my old laptop going belly-up. Well now it seems to have happened to my desktop. No idea what could have caused it, other than perhaps a surge or something related to the outage we had […]
No-Fly List Candidate

Everyone is going to get a real hoot & holler out of this one, especially after reading the story of how I got arrested in NYC for carrying one of my knifes onto the subway (in case you didn’t know). In some ways, this little fiasco tops that story, but at the same time it’s […]

Doing my part for the IGDA
March 5th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Personal
Lifetime Membership When my IGDA membership expired last month, I decided to renew with the Lifetime Member option. I had been doing some speaking out in defense and support of the organization, so it’s only proper. That, and I have truly benefited enough from the IGDA to make the investment worthwhile besides. There’s nothing really […]
Laptop goes KABLOOIE!!
March 3rd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Personal
So, the Windows 7 Release Candidate that I’ve had installed on my old laptop for the past few months to try out W7 to see if I liked it (I did – have it on my desktop now) expired at the start of this week, which means that the computer will shut down every 2 […]

Aspirations can be more attainable than before
February 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Personal
This was a piece published in my local area newspaper the Asbury Park Press back in 1999, when I was a Junior in High School and a member of the (very) short-lived Techworld Advisory Panel. We only had one meeting as a group and the panel itself lasted like, a month. Originally intended to guide […]

Developers who blame the IGDA for doing nothing, blame themselves for doing nothing
January 14th, 2010 · 24 Comments · Personal
I made a bit of a stink on twitter posting that little accusation above (although on Facebook funny enough the response was unanimously “Hells yea!”), and I’d like to explain it a bit more here for people who didn’t fully understand what I was saying. My best example would be the recent Tim Langdell fiasco […]
