I've had a great week teaching games to my class of youth here in Williams Lake! On my way up I was told that the students were 'at risk'. Well, after this week I can truly say that the only think they're at risk of is of being awesome!! Not only have they leared their first 3d modelling tool, but they've learned how to create levels, enemies, ( Read more... )

I am in the interior for two weeks to teach a video game course to at risk youth! This first week, I am in Williams Lake... It's funny how one makes assumptions on the place they are visiting before really knowing anything about it. I checked out Williams Lake on google earth before heading here and it looked tiny... maybe 10 city blocks by 10 city ( Read more... )

Life in Vancouver is pretty rocking right now. My new job has been going well, and I've had lots of spare time to pursue other interests.

However I was ( Read more... )

Who knew that March 2007 would creep up so quickly. I've been thinking a lot about things lately. Things being my life, experiences and where I'm going. Ten years ago I was finishing up High School at BCHS. Ten Years! I've done a lot since then but it seems weird that I could almost have done grade school all over again in the time I've had since ( Read more... )

It was my first day of work at Action Pants today and it was pretty awesome! I'll have my work cut out for me over the next few months. The work environment is awesome! People bring their dogs in to work, there's free beer in the fridge, and everyone is nice. Plus I get to program for next gen systems!

In other news, I am growing a goatee and ( Read more... )

They announced the new direction for the Sims on the internet, so I can post what I was working on up until Monday. Click here to read the deets. I think it's an awesome concept and will work a lot better on the PSP than we did last round. Unfortunately, we more or less got destroyed in our reviews from last round. Our game has some less than ( Read more... )
