While I’ll give the iPhone a pass because it’s pretty cool and the battery actually holds up nicely, by and large I feel like cell phones are made for calling people. I don’t need it to play music–I’ve got an MP3 player for that. I don’t need it to get on the internet–I’ve got a […]
I didn’t actually go to the GDC this year–on Monday, I was making up for the fact that I ducked out at noon on Friday to go to Yosemite, and our third employee (not counting interns) started on Tuesday. I don’t think the bosses would’ve signed off on a week-long game conference anyway, but […]
It was a pretty busy year–I finished my Master’s thesis, graduated, moved to California, and started a new job. I got my passport and went to Greece for two weeks. I released one (albeit not very entertaining) game, learned a load about the flash game business in general, and won a BarCamp application […]
Not much activity in the last couple of weeks, so I thought I’d do a little update post. I made another game. I’d say it’s around 95% done (just need to do a bit of visual polish and grab some sound effects), but I’ll save that one for a post of its own […]
For the last two weeks, I’ve only biked to work once each week. Apparently, winter in California means that it’s going to look like a thundering downpour is eminent every weekend… then clear up and look nice by lunchtime. I may have to actually start checking the weather report before deciding whether to bike or […]
I went to Capitola again on Saturday, this time determined to actually do a little fishing instead of just paddling around. I bought some new line (17-lb test) to replace the line which had rotted away (probably only 8 or 10-lb test, anyway). I also bought some pre-packaged “surf leaders” to use instead of rolling […]
I went camping over the weekend–a yearly canoe trip that my roommate last summer invited me on. We drove up to Alexander Valley on Friday night, canoed down the Russian River on Saturday, and hung out at a winery (and played Bocci Ball) on Sunday. Despite the title, I actually did a pretty […]
So, after pointing me to this link a couple of days ago, Diana and I (along with our friend Autumn and one of her co-workers) decided to give crabbing a shot. We borrowed some crab nets from her uncle and had some fun in a fisherman’s warehouse (bait-cages, new ropes, fancy harnesses that we […]
