Some cool things have been happening lately.  I've been working 18 hour days, 7 days per week to work on something at work after hours.  It's picked up a lot of momentum and things are getting VERY interesting.  Can't say much since it's confidential though ( Read more... )

Today is 10/10/10. 101010 is binary for 42.  For this I was planning on proposing to my girlfriend today, if we were still together.  We broke up about 4 months ago.  Too bad too.  I had such a wonderful proposal all planned out in my mind and saying something to the affect of "You're my answer to life, the universe, and everything ( Read more... )

So while on vacation, I came across an old old journal of mine.  The last time I wrote in it was about 5 years ago.  It's interesting to see what kind of a person I was back then, and what kind of things I was thinking.  I'd like to think I've grown a bit since then, but who knows.  Reliving the past is certainly most interesting, but it has ( Read more... )

Hmmm, I don't think I have anything new to say, but who knows, I might later!

My life is still in an intangible state of limbo, but there appears to be some form of progress in sight.  I’ve been working on my game project for the past year now, with several delays and speed bumps.  Everything is finally coming together and we’ll be ready to issue a press release on it soon, so that’s nice.

Lately I've been noticing a pattern emerge.  The more I try to climb, the more I slip and fall.  It's like scaling a muddy slope while it's raining with giant monkeys in purple ties hurling wooden barrels down the slope.  Okay, perhaps not that extreme.  Replace the monkeys throwing the barrels with myself and it's probably more accurate ( Read more... )

It surprises me how a past Love, a deep Love, has transformed into a strong friendship.  Even though things can never be between us, I find myself reflecting upon those deep feelings and tremble.  If anyone knew the song to make my heart sing, it would be her.  It gives me some odd comfort to consider that there might be an alternate reality where ( Read more... )

Best perk of working at home: You can wear Marvin Martian slippers and only the cats give you funny looks :-D

Today is the first day I don't have to go in to work.  I resigned from my position at Blizzard on Friday.  I don't think it's hit me yet.  I had been there for about 4 years, and in many ways, the place felt like home.  Great place, great people.  I left so that I could finish a game ( Hyperbol ) with a team of friends, and start a game company ( Read more... )

Anyone know of some good books on astronomy?  Entry level to intermediate might be my pace.  I am starting to write a story/setting/universe for the game my team is making (http://www.Hyperbol.com).  It will take place in the distant future, in space, and I'd like to actually use good science and not pull concepts out of my bum. :-p
